05 June 2023
It's coming next year for the princely sum of $3,499.

No matter how they call it, it will be always far cry from pioneer of AR and VR HTC Oculus.
This will be nothing but a very expensive gadget like with every apple product not cooperative with anything which aint apple branded so use is very limited and only for few peple which can afford.
Most people with apple phone cant afford anything else from apple they just have a phone to feel like they have some kind of status symbol even its just ordinary phone with less ordinary very restricted OS.
Thats all.

    For friends and family it is much better but i also like sometimes just watch alone and for that video glasses like Rokid Max or VR headset like Quest 3 or this Apple headset could be good.

      Wrong..all the productivity is full AR...no other headset has 2 displays, 1 going to the outwards and 1 to inside
      VR is for gaming and movies
      So this is a full mixed AR and VR

        Here eye tracking is flawless and hand gesture are as discreet as it can be thanks to the multiple cameras and tech
        No other has more than 4k per eye at 120fps
        So stop hating the best VR/AR headset on the market..it makes you look knowledge-less

          [deleted post]"Turn your room into a personal movie theater with the Cinema Environment. Enjoy shows and movies at the frame rate and aspect ratio the filmmaker intended with immersive Spatial Audio. Or use a majestic Environment like Mt. Hood to make your screen feel 100 feet wide."

          Also for me your 65" is just way too small, i've already used 75" TV for close to five years not overkill at all, bigger is always better 😁 my next TV going to be alteast 85" so that's why i'm interested about this vision Pro, the new TV will cost alteast same if not more and with this i would get even bigger screen and also black/dark movie theater experience without any distracting elements.

            Spec wise this is mostly like Meta Quest Pro but much powerful, the Quest pro 2(and Quest 3) will be much better for average consumer.

            For true AR glasses which looks like glasses(and are under 80 grams weight) Meta has technology where EMR wrist worn device(and their smartwatch) will give ability to use hands so good that you can actually type text with it!

            This Apple device is a VR headset with AR functions, for true AR we need glasses which you can use for long periods of time.

                    Guess what. It's you who is embarrassing yourself here. Moreover, you're confusing MiniLed with MicroLed. MicroLed doesn't contain any liquid crystal panel. Neither is a different emitting source. Being a non-organic it's self-emitting.

                        Maybe £600-700 top.You have to be a complete imbecile to pay £3.5k for this.

                          Codedslam, 06 Jun 2023$3,499 laughable, and many will still pay for it With that price you can't even get great very big TV and this offers way bigger and immersive movie experience. So if i'm thinking it like that would think buying this instead of very very big TV, i have 75" and i want bigger and this could be it, but probably not, but need to see how the experience really is.

                              That price tag is just stupid. I mean I know it's Apple and they like to brand themselves as premium but this is just taking it too far. The headset is okay at best. Lower the price and more people would probably get it.

                                    The point is that apple is introducing a valueable competition to meta and others in the industry.

                                      I think this Apple Vision Pro is fascinating but still for a niche crowd until it reaches $1000 or less. That could take 20 more years. I do wonder what will eventually replace the smartphone? Or are we stuck with them forever with very little improvements year after year?

                                      Remember the hype surrounding Google Glass? Then Google swept it under the rug never to be talked about again. You could use Google Glass to cheat in casinos or take photos of people without their consent.

                                        $3,499 laughable, and many will still pay for it
