Do you remember that Apple Vision Pro existed?

still have never seen one in person desu

>>106297723
I have and 90% of them were BROWN.

When they developed it they didn't think Biden would launch us into a depression but now nobody can afford one

>>106297625 (OP)
you can see under girls clothes with that

No because they were dumb enough to try to enter a decade and half marked with an overpriced toy

>>106297898
Never buy anything advertised with niggers unless it's funny.

>>106297898
I mean, I know it's a meme and all.
But this shit would absolutely not have seen daylight in Steve's Day.

>>106297625 (OP)
It seems like Apple killed the whole market segment instead of bring it along like they usually do. Quest is forgotten, Valve index is extinct, what well known company even makes vr/ar headsets anymore? Apple and meta will proobably kill theirs after another failed update, and all that’s left is those weird boutique expensive companies.

>>106297625 (OP)
Do you still need an appointment to demo one at the apple store?

I'm glad it failed. Feels like we dodged a bullet.

Could this have ever succeeded?

>>106297625 (OP)
Yeah. It forced Meta to fix the shitty pass through on the Quest 3. It was almost unusable (heavy warping and lots of noise) before the Vision Pro hit the market and few months after you could actually read things while wearing the Quest 3 (without peeking through the giant nose hole).

I had one for 2 months. AMA.
Also, new rev is coming out with M5 processor; it's far from dead.

>>106298222
People bought iWatches and iEarbuds it could have happened. I think they missed by $1500. Now the headset market is dead because everyone knows while it's cool to experience the headset form factor just sucks too much.

I recently read that Apple was made because people are treating like a commercial business product than a retail one. Well duh it is priced so much higher than the Quest 3. And for the price you could build a nice Quest 3 PCVR setup.

>Apple was MAD

meme all you want /g/ but the future is coming and Apple will be the ones to revolutionize the world just like they did in 2007

>>106297625 (OP)
This is how you remind me.

>>106297870
This but unironically

>>106297625 (OP)
I do. Considering buying the refresh that's supposed to come out soon too. I'm tired of waiting for a competitor that's not coming.

>>106297911
He would just have made it gayer and more restrictive than it was. I don't think that a gadget being useless ever represented an issue for him, or otherwise he would never launch the iPad either.

>>106298313
>meme all you want /g/ but the future is coming and Apple will be the ones to revolutionize the world just like they did in 2007

>>106297905
So basically buy nothing ever?

>>106297625 (OP)
The main thing I remember is that they selected the ugliest models they could possibly find to wear it.

>>106297625 (OP)
the problem is that it starts at $3500. think about how many single objects the average person owns that cost that much. maybe 1-2. a car, a motorcycle, a house, maybe a wedding ring.
the vision pro just doesn’t have enough of a killer app to justify being your second 3.5k+ value item next to your car.

>>106297625 (OP)
Being used for military applications controlling drones. Not for plebs.

>>106302774

jesus fucking christ what the fuck lmao

>>106298222
Never. AR/VR will never catch on until the device becomes as small and as light as eye glasses and completely wireless. Right now they’re just too cumbersome.

>needlessly heavy due to pointless glass and metal
>closed ecosystem, discouraging hackers and gamers
>limited to compute in headset
the tech is great but the typical Apple jewish tricks are not

>>106297625 (OP)
looks like the ps vita menu

>>106303252
ozzie bucks aren't real son. It's like habbo credits

>>106303451
shut the fuck up cunt. they're all too real. and that's still comically expensive. joke corporation for clown people.

nah cunt, I'm on smoko

Here are the requirements for success of a VR headset in the 2020s:
>No stupid eye screen that looks like shit anyway
>Better headstrap, goggles do not work for comfort, only for props
>Controllers that can pair with a PC or the headset
>Advertising that doesn't look like a fucking meme
>Below 1500$
>Fully Linux compatible with FOSS software and drivers
Apple released a 2010s headset in 2024.

>>106297870
Not exactly, they thought there was never going to be a crisis to surpass COVID, therefore lockdowns would last forever and everything would have to be done remotely in VR.

>70° fov
>no controllers
>no use case outside floating monitors
>most uncomfortable headset on the market even with external battery
>ten times the price of competing products
Embarrassing product from Apple. Even ignoring the Quest 3 being better in every single way, the fact that chinkshit companies can already replicate the entire AVP experience into a pair of sunglasses is just insane.
This was a Newton tier swing and miss.

>>106297736
The only one I have seen was an Indian man on a train to London.

>>106304265
Not every way, it has the best cameras and processor by far, but was gimped by being limited to a subsection of the iPad's app store for software, and third party apps couldn't use the cameras. The fact that it used the exact same SoC as their laptops made the fact that it cost three times one of them but couldn't use the software sting even more.
They eventually added controllers support this year. Like that was going to help do anything but let people who bought one already at least use it a little.

>>106297625 (OP)
yes
and they're making a second one

>>106303319
>Never. AR/VR will never catch on until the device becomes as small and as light as eye glasses and completely wireless. Right now they’re just too cumbersome.
Yes but no. The real reason is that smart phones are the end all of "tech gear". everything is now built with the intent that it needs to connect to your smart phone so outside of being a gimmicky toy VR headsets and goggles will never be a thing.

What happened to google glass?

>>106297625 (OP)
cost and weight are literally all thats wrong with it

>>106298270
How’s the porn

>>106297625 (OP)
of course i remember, i use it everyday

>>106299376
bass

Just FOMO bought one because I heard it was discontinued. Now realize they're making v2

It's a solid experience but pretty uncomfortable without an aftermarket straps. It's early but feels like a glimpse into the future

>>106304265
>no use case outside floating monitors
Yes, it's literally a monitor alternative

>>106308360
Good!

>>106306569
Neural interfaces are the end all of tech gear. In the meantime AR/VR is a massive leap forward.
A desktop setup is even more cumbersome, yet people still use them over laptops. People still use TV's over phones

Once they smooth the rough edges with AR/VR (we're very close), it'll be the far and away superior way to look at screens

>>106308956
Is that a widget? What strap do you use

>>106310361
ppd has to double and that seems unlikely anytime soon - unless you like 1080p on a 42" tv at 3-4' viewing distance experience

>>106297625 (OP)
yeah, i do. while i don't have a use for it, as far as i know, it has a very dedicated userbase and apple is still working on it. i know, for some of you it sounds weird that a company launched a product that wasn't a huge success (wich it even wasn't planned to be given it's limited release) and is still supporting it and developing for it when you just got on some kickstarter hypetrain and got a half-baked "thing" two years later with no further support three months in and limited functionality before the end of year.

>>106310361
Technology has reached its peak and is a solved issue. You'll just have to make peace with that. It'll become obvious to you once the AI grift dies.

>>106308360
I'm assuming shit since it has zero support for actual vr content. Just floating monitors.

>>106308956
How many hours a day? Any eyestrain? What do you use it for? Do you do any work with it? What kind of work?

>>106297625 (OP)
>Do you remember that Apple Vision Pro existed?
No.

>>106308956
apply grease and put it in your ass

>>106310307
Are you aware that your eye inside the headset is not really refocusing even though you are looking at various depths? You are replacing a screen that you can look away from every once in a while with an optical illusion that keeps your eyes pinned to a screen on your face. I don't see the benefit.
