I'm really curious what the implications are for our eyes. I think working at a computer every day for hours and hours has wrecked my vision. So what is gonna happen when the screen in a couple inches from your eyes? Similar to how earbuds are pretty bad for your hearing. Does this kill the television eventually?
Great points. And yes, I think it will kill television. Unless people deem the headsets as too uncomfortable.
At $3500 each I don't think television has to worry for quite a while. Especially with those freaking goggles. Put that in my glasses (even if they have to be a bit thicker frames) and drop the price to under $1k and yeah, now you're talking. The price will come down. The hard part is going to be making it smaller and comfortable.
Yeah. That's how much it cost me to build my gaming computer. I know that computer is going to last me a while. Just not sure how much I would use that headset honestly.
Given it's basically a Mac Book Pro with two 4K displays included, $3500 doesn't feel completely incorrect from a parts and labor standpoint but wow it really drives home that Apple is moving on from a primarily American customer base to one that has more money to spend... these will probably be a hit in China and Dubai, where people have money.
I'm going to wait until they can shrink this down into regular glasses. One day that will be possible. Putting that thing on my head is like going out and buying one of those massive projector TVs that you can't even give away these days.
You'd need the gaming computer AND the headset. And if you wanted to enjoy it with your family they EACH need a headset. No thanks.
They don’t mention whether or not two people can watch together if they both have a headset. It’s like it’s only for single people. They’ll figure it out. The technology is amazing.
This seems more reasonable... $2k https://www.theverge.com/23727583/spacetop-augmented-reality-laptop-release-hands-on
After watching the entire WWDC my questions were answered about the 15” mb air, but I was also blown away by the possibilities of the vision pro. Don’t know if I will buy one next year but I was still greatly impressed nonetheless.
Not unless/until there's a communal version. Sure, it'll be a superior immersive experience for an individual, but more often than not, if I'm watching TV, I'm watching with members of my family.
Everything my family owns is Apple and this wasn’t even a blip on the radar! I’m about as loyal as they come to their products and I have NO interest in owning something like this, even if it was 1/4 of the price!
