Pretty slick.ideaist - This is actually cool. Not the Metaverse crapNBQ00
- i like how they blend the digital and physical world. This has some potential. Still shitty you are stuck with a cable.milfhunter

- is the lens, trim, strap, cord, plug, extension, battery pack, case, cloth to clean, and software to use all extra monthly subscription costs?whatthefunk
- Well it was better than Zuckerberg's Metaverse presentation. But lol @ the price...I guess this will be a niche product for some time.yuekit

- 10 years too late? lol. none of that tech was around 10 years agointeliboy
- lol.. nope.autoflavour
- Didn’t Google already try this with Google glass? Those at least looked like regular glasses but people still freaked out_niko
- Apple has a lot of trust with its customers, warranted or not. Not many other brands have this (try getting support from Google or a 1 on 1 demo of metaverse).slappy
- I'll wait for the Vision Airok_not_ok
- Google Glass was the Vision Air.palimpsest
- That cushioning is going to get sweaty and grubby really quickly.shapesalad
- ^VR/AR wasn't around 10 years ago? You're correct, Google Glass was out 9 years ago. My bad.formed
- More like Vision ProN - capitalizing off that adult marketplace legitimizing new tech - will likely blow everyone away with nsfw experiences, email not so muchwhatthefunk
- Saying apple is late as if it had any cache is silly. They’re always late and almost always set the standard.monospaced
- thousands of people worked on this for years and it, somehow, didn't get leaked. Apple runs a very tight shiphotroddy

- This entire product is meant to produce and consume porn.jmckinno

- It supports a dualsense controller but only runs apple arcade games. I’d order one now if i knew for sure it would support steamVRscarabin
- They’re really trying to position it as a non-gaming device but when will they learn nobody wants to put on a helmet to check their mail?scarabin
- lol shape, novelty?monospaced
- Scarabin, I'm sure there'll be a native steam app for it in future. Until then you can just hook up a Mac.NBQ00

I am really curious to see how it works and I want to try it in real life, but I am definitely not interested in owning one
Discuss
- The thought of our future being in headsets is depressing as fuck but I'd really love to try these out and probably own them if I was a bit wealthier.HAYZ1LLLA
- I have 0.0000098% interest in this product.utopian
- can we all please discuss whether drgs is interested in owning one or not? I personally think he should get one.Ianbolton
- I'd love to try this out too. I have a Quest 2 that my company gave me and it's been collecting dust for months.mg33
- Not sure I'd want to own one (I can think of dozens of things I'd buy instead at that price) but what they've made is impressive as hell.mg33

For how long can you wear a VR headset before it gets sweaty and cuts off blood circulation to your face?
Would you wear it to watch a movie at home, say 2 hours?Discuss

Instructions not clear. The CPU, RAM and all the computer parts are inside the glasses, or you use them as an accessory with your laptop?
- Inside glasses. But you can hook up Mac (OS) if you want to run the Macos desktop apps.NBQ00
- Can I play games on my PC with themdrgs
- inside glasses, in front of your eyes. The eyes you see appear to be a display screen, likely displaying your deepfake facetime doppleganger's eyes.monNom

NYT article from a couple months ago...apparently some people at Apple had doubts about the headset...
- "It is considered a bridge to a future product, such as augmented reality glasses, that would have broader appeal but require technical breakthroughs"yuekit
- yeah, that's what is odd, Apple normally wait until the tech is there to do it properly. I guess there's some interesting software aspects though.fadein11
- ^ I guess like the Apple Watch, let the product simmer a while until it catches oninteliboy
- They mention the Tesla model of letting the high end early adopters buy in first, then expanding to mass market over time.yuekit
- Everyone wants in on spacial computing as it is the next platform. The problem is its incredibly hard, and farther out than investor types want to hearrobotinc
- I think it's a real question whether this is a product consumers want in the first place.yuekit

ok so legit hardware question
my 2013 MBP is dying to the point where i can use it but can't always rely on it to not die when it is in sleep mode. it's been 10 years and has served me well.
now i don't use laptops the way i used to - i don't work 50 hour weeks on design anymore, but i do personal projects (books primarily, also web / photo work) that require some power. i primarily use the affinity suite for this.
i also do sound art, but most production is in audacity, which is fairly lightweight as well.
so this all being said - what would the votes be for a new laptop investment between the new 15" air against a new MBP? there is a $1000 difference between what i would spec out each as, so i am leaning towards the air.

- An Apple Silicon Air with full RAM will run circles around what you've got now, with less heat and better battery life. It's feasible for sure.evilpeacock
- In our studio we use M1 Macbook Pros for the designers and M1 Macbook Airs for the account managers. Although they should be similar performance on paper..slappy
- Airs struggle with some of the design files (heat management?). Also with both, the RAM is the weakest link, I would get 32gb+ as that still bonks out sometimesslappy
- @slappy, that's what i've heard the main difference is - the fan / heat mgmt in the pro. i'm not worried about it now, but long term could be a factorcolin_s
- A Pro is a safer longterm investment, and yes get as much RAM as you can; AS still only needs 1/2 what Intel does.evilpeacock

Apple Vision Pro could be their first big flop. Who wants to wear that shit in normal life. it's gaming tech ffs.
It's a no from me.- *big flop of recent times.
Also the cringe presentations nowadays.fadein11 - I imagine I'd lose my mind if my kids were vegging on this...it's bad enough how disconnected they are from life just on their phones_niko
- You can watch movies with it... alone.shapesalad
- do we need to buy 3-4 or do we all squeeze into one?fadein11
- what price is this going to be? spec'd out with custom bits, its surely 3-4k?kingsteven

One last thing: a product that nobody has wanted for the last 6-7 years. Honestly, at this point google glass is looking pretty elegant.
- I see this more as a computer and entertainment device at home. For immersive stuff like gaming, movies and maybe even some work stuff since you can hook up MacNBQ00
- People in wealthy countries are single longer, not having kids, & living alone. This is perfect for them to watch movies, play games and have immersive wanks.shapesalad
- VR goggles have been around for years but they're still a niche product. I don't see how this changes things.monNom
