After an Apple Vision Pro demo that ran through the major features, I came away convinced that Apple has delivered nothing less than a genuine leapfrog in execution of XR.

    It’s something I’d love to try out for a week, but I simply cannot afford it.

    Wonder what Apple’s return policy is like! :D

      That’s not a bad idea. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure they have a 30 day no-questions-asked return policy 🤔

      Depends on what you want to do with it, but it uses the same type of processor as their current laptops, so I’d say about as long as a laptop. For people who want to use it for pretty much anything other than gaming, I don’t think it’s going to suddenly be obsolete in a year or three.

      I bought an M2 MacBook Pro earlier this year, my first Mac in a long time. It’s insanely fast. Like, faster than it has any business being with that amount of battery life. Running Photoshop, it doesn’t feel like a laptop at all. It’s pretty nuts. So I expect this thing is going to be pretty fast as well. I definitely will not be getting one, though, as I don’t have $3,500 lying around for toys like that, but I would definitely love to try one out at some point.

    It’s good. It’s not in any universe $3000 good. From what I saw in their demo it’s almost identical to their competitors who have AR headsets for $700.

    That being said being able to work inside a 360° bubble of screens requires complete comfort and no eye strain.

    This also ain’t that.

    It’s obviously a step towards a laser based HUD ala the peacekeepers comms collar in Farscape. I hope I live to see them, in 30 years.

      i reckon the m2 + 2 x 4.5k high refresh rate “micro oled” (i know of oled and micro led, but i don’t think i’ve heard of micro oled?) + large array of sensors (2x main cameras + 2x face ID array + retina scanner) really jack up the price. as far as i’ve seen from some impressions, the eye tracking is also supposed to be the best out there, although i don’t know what widespread points of comparison there are save for PSVR2

        It’s still in pre-release uber hype phase. You’re not gonna hear anything other than every part of it’s the best out there.
