but... you can just walk into an apple store in US and get one.

That's what my friend did. He walked past an Apple Store on launch day... and "hey, they launched the Vision Pro". Cha-chin and away he goes.

Feel like this is going to be a total bust for Apple.. which, as a share holder, sucks lol..

i still dont understand the use case for this piece of shit.

You strap it on, it has really good passthrough..... then so what? i get better pass through if i just take it off. What are you augmenting here that requires me to use passthrough?

I want to get away from the real world, not put on a lame digital version of it.

Yay. Another thing these younger generation can put on their head along with earphones and walk around in the real world completely oblivious to surrounding cars and traffic.

With this you're pretty much asking people to invest in beta tech.

$3000 for something you know very well will change and be upgraded shortly in the future.

It's like being the 1st EV adopter. That's a tough sell IMHO.

I think as with virtually all tech going forward, the concept of having your processors within the hardware itself like this is going to be gone in a decade or less.

Soon the concept of having a physical gaming console will be gone and everything will be done through the cloud etc.

I don’t see why somthing like this wouldn’t follow the same evolution. It will just require an E-sim and when you can get 300-500mbs it will be infinitely cheaper to have the processing done remotely as opposed to selling bulky hardware like this

haven't we been hearing that for over a decade now?

I listen to a couple gaming podcasts and the direction Microsoft has taken with game pass in recent years seems to signal the end of the physical Xbox in most peoples opinions

I don’t think it will be the next gen, but the following one could very well be

Like even now remote play is pretty crazy, have some friends we play warzone with and we are playing a 120 person multiplayer game remotely, tethered to their phones, with their PS5 doing the processing at home, and it’s good enough to play “ok” in a huge multiplayer FPS

We've been hearing cloud gaming for ages now, I think we're still very far away from that in terms of wide adoption.

Stadia died because Google realized that. Latency and lag will always be a hurdle, lots of the US barely has broadband, if at all.

The server needs would be a major problem, pivoting the costs of hosting those cloud games to the publishers, meaning more subscriptions to play a game, I'm not sure the market will want that. Not only that, developers would lose their ecosystem, nothing to tie you in from a hardware perspective if everything is cloud.

It's a lofty idea that I don't think you'll see full adoption anytime soon, hardware is still here to stay for the foreseeable future.

I think that’s exactly what Microsoft wants though, they don’t want to sell you one-time hardware, they want to sell you a recurring subscription through a service like game pass

Do you remember the first time you got a 2nd monitor? Remember how it changed everything? How about your 3rd? How about when you started replacing those with larger monitors? Curved monitors?

The Vision Pro gives you as many monitors as you want, as infinitely big as you want, and you can step inside of them which is the ultimate version of curved. You're not locked in some VR environment. You're getting overlays, HUDs anchored and on top of your outside external environment.

Just like how back in the 00's it was frivolous and extravagant to get a 2nd monitor. And how now, no one can get shit done with a single monitor anymore:

It'll be an "Aha" moment. You should just go try it out :).

The ultimate dream is to push all the compute externally. But there are substantial challenges in bandwidth, latency, and link reliability to even do that compute in the same room, let alone via the internet.

Humans have single digit milliseconds of tolerance for input to display latency. Any more than that and it's a shitty experience. Now you strap the displays to your head and it's not even about being annoyed: you'll actually puke. Then if you add the random glitching / stuttering of a wireless link to that, you'd rip the damn thing off and throw it through a wall.

No it doesn’t. According to that young black man who does tech videos MKHKKdBJHHH he says it’ll only project one Mac screen onto the display. The rest are only lame ass IOS apps. Of which YouTube and Netflix isn’t even available yet

For now :p

fess up VR owners, how is the quality of VR porn?

This is only the beginning. Give it a bit. Dude will have Neuralink chip in his brain. No need for hand gestures anymore. Controlled by thoughts. :accepted:

Very very very good. Even on a quest 2. Go download the 8k porno, use DNLA and Deoplayer off the quest store.

Use link below and use BitTorrent.

You’re welcome.

I wonder when we'll start reading news stories about people falling off cliffs, overpasses, or even robbed.

That Wall-E future coming in hard, I can taste it!

I look like that already. Where’s my god damn wall-e ?

I guess if i was ever at home, i don't need to hold up my phone to scroll and just wear that... not sure if that'll be good for my eyes

My wife says i look like a goof.

i said with or without the VR headset?

fucking garbage. stupid apple prudes

Ahahaha... spoken like a true gentleman. No pr0n, no money. :fuckthatshit:

Something seems off about strapping on a VR headset, fumbling the hand lotion on your desk, proceeding to wank your meat for 2 minutes while wearing the damn thing, then attempting to take the headset off with your cummy hands.

Naw.
