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

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

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

- 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

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

Haven't watched it but interested to hear the principle beliefs for why Apple is going into "spacial computing".

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

This UI design you're seeing for VisionPro will come to iOS and all other OS in next years.

Why don’t they show the person drinking from the can while using the Apple Snorkle Pro?
- can drinkers downvote. I'm saying, that can is going to hit the snorkel and you'll struggle to drink it all.shapesalad

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
