The investment in this technology says a lot about the path the technology goes, not only the feedback the users are getting from it, as well as the developers, but then in turn can help dictate the future path of the tech. iPhone 1.0 was much less feature-rich, and now is a massive device. It took a lot to go from 2007 (18 years), but it's a very well developed product. So in another 16-18 years, I can only imagine the same will happen with AR/VR/XR technology if they continue to invest in it in some fashion.
Privilege over performance.
fun fact: the cameras on the bottom are actually for hand tracking (i think)
How is Apple going to get AI working when they’re still trying to get Siri working?!!
Get those awful wars and poverty and esp. climate crisis plus the extinction of species solved. When those are done, we can invest in digital toys and such.
I'm thinking of buying one of these. One BIG thing I find frustrating about Apple products is that they release a new and improved version a year or less later. What's your opinion on spending $3500 plus and seeing this be cheaper in a year? Will the hardware be updated that often or is it safe to take the plunge and enjoy it for 2-3 years? Thank you.
And I still haven't found much in the way of good options for capturing spatial pictures. Spatial video is easy. Spatial pictures currently are not.
For spatial video, I've found the iPhone 15 Pro Max does a much, much better job than the AVP.
Didn't Microsoft already have something like this, Holo lens or something called.
How do you add animations on the vision pro??
Im wondering how it works in humid countries where glasses gets blurred..
First VR/AR strap on headset that's not meant to be used for gaming so it's pretty unique
tech for idiots LMAO
Almost 1 and 1/2 pounds! That’s literally like wearing the 13 inch iPad Pro on your face! 😂
Waiting for them to get to the size of sunglasses at 1/4 of the current price.
First lose 10 inches around the waist by fixing diet, then review Apple Vision Pro.
If this becomes more light weight like in form of glasses,then this would revolutionary
The alleged Tech experts who played with "Not thoroughly Reviewed This product " Obviously have little to no experience with VR.Their complaints about weight and neck/ head fatigue are explained easily! They've Never had to work physically hard for a living! We are talking about limp wristed and slack jawed folk who get tired lifting a coffee cup or a pen in their "Hard Working Jobs" Ponce'sThe lot of them.!
The apple device ability to put screens / apps on different places at home and who knows maybe in the world by using GPS is fantastic.
You do a trek today at the US and you are living in Spain and decide that next year you return to the same trek in the US and many screens are waiting there in the US for you at the same spots you wete a year ago including direction arrows ; All you had created in the past trip .
Also screens all over the city you live in just turn on GPS.
Also opening multi pages of word or acrobat reader on your room wall so you can read and learn without turning pages and move between different pages by looking at certain page and getting closer to it . Great way to learn for exam.
I remember when Samsung used Iris scanner for authentication and everyone frowned on it and preferred Apples touch ID. I see apple moving from face ID to Iris scanner to keep it consistent with the future of Apple Vision
who is the target audience for this device???
10:05 Harry Potter call for 3500$ 😛
Wearing it for hours is most likely uncomfortable and that dangling battery is unpractical, version pro 3 will be worth to buy.
So a lot of people see this as getting more connected to technology but i actually think this can save humanities tech addiction because it has to go in a bag not your pocket and you have to put it on and whatnot you can’t just whip it out and look on screens when your not on screens they are unavailable and when you want to go in screens you sit down pull this out and put it on forcing you to have a real reason
When in lay down on the bed I thought he was about to go into what drove VHS and the internet forwards 😂
Ah brings back memories of when we were all moving to 3D films and 3D TV's.
But once the novelty had gone …
I am not saying this is that but I wait to see
Not very impressed with the reviews I've seen so far. Basically gaming is out, third party apps are not there, productivity still requires a MacBook, keyboard and mouse (I've seen several reviews where hand tracking and clicking have issues). So I guess unless you want a $3500 screen that only you can enjoy, don't buy this clunky overpriced hunk of junk. It's basically the DeLorean of headsets. Hyped but really useless for anything but the basics.
@11:30Metaverse? tim is gonna have a heart attack.
Great job up until you wearing a mask and on the metaquest. Ugh…
Make it a full Star Wars worthy helmet and then we'll talk. Could be good for industrial and technical work in that setup. Less fatigue since it wouldn't be hanging off your face, and could be ventilated/cooled, and as bonuses it would actually look cool and we could add some sci fi voice changers to it. lol.
Dat new CNET logo 😮
It looks so uncomfortable beyond any measure. Can you actually tell me that having something strapped to your head and face is actually comfortable when lying down?
New tech become do nothing to bring something new
eyeshight looks ridiculus xd
its exactly like Playstation Vr …except u got to pay 3x more for the same sheet
Can you use google street view?
Great device! Will be getting one soon.
