    I’ve been amazed at how goofy these apple goggles look juxtaposed with how excited rich nerds are to hoover up new a new apple toy and tech personalities are to talk about a new apple product.

      I’m sure the overlap between people who bought Google Glass thinking it would be the future, and people buying this thinking it will be the future, is just a circle.

      Apple has a better track record of sticking things out though so who knows, maybe this one will stick.

        That’s true and the reason why I couldn’t stand staying in their ecosystem. Apple fans are just insufferable. They gobble up every shit Apple ditches out and cheer them on when they report just another record quarter paid by themselves.

        I’m very skeptical of vr as a general mass market product. But if they’re willing to have another semi-niche system on their line up then this probably will last a long time. There are tons of people who will always be enthusiastic for vr since it harkens to a childhood dream of theirs

      The airpods looked ridiculous. Now they’re a fashion statement. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Better yet, if everyone is wearing these, then everyone can see and hear everyone else as the people they approve of. You could hold a conversation with someone thinking they’re a Democrat while they think you’re a Republican, and both would walk away glad to have found a like-minded person.

      What?

      I don’t understand how what you’re saying relates to the Apple goggles, it sounds like you might as well have said that if everyone wears wireless earbuds, everyone can start hearing eachothers thoughts.

      Did Apple announce some sort of Snapchat filter and live translate function that you’re making fun of, or is the comment just absurd?

        I’m just making a joke about what some Black Mirror version of this might do in some dystopian future.

    This is the future, but I doubt it’s ready yet. The public isn’t. Most wallets aren’t. I want to know one thing: when you are looking forward at some virtual screen and then you turn your head slightly, does the virtual screen stay affixed to the real world or is it always in the same area of your visual field?

    Affixing the virtual screens to the real world seems realistic, like mounting a real TV on the wall. Affixing the virtual screens to your visual field would look like a levitating TV which follows you around as you walk from room to room.

    Both would have their advantages and disadvantages. Both would likely still cause headaches and may not work well in low light.

      Both is possible, depending on the type of reference anchor point set for the individual application. You can have one workspace in one room and a different in another room. The vision pro can recognise a previous environment and snap back to where you left off last time.
