what the actual fuck was the point in this?

>>106566995 (OP)
They nailed the design tho.
Such a waste of good design.

I've tried one and the display is stunning, as a VR enjoyer I'd get this shit in a heartbeat if it was PC friendly

>>106566995 (OP)
The fap experience is top tier.

>>106567063
hold on a sec, you can watch coom films with it now?

>>106566995 (OP)
Apple is sodomy, sodomy is pointless and wasteful. Checks out.

>>106567012
It is a complete and utter failure of design on every level other than being a movie prop.
The headstrap is shit, it's too heavy for the shit headstrap and the front screen is a shit idea.

It's a halo effect/aspirational product
It's not meant to be mainstream or even usable. It's just meant to make applel seem advanced.
Hopefully Deckard/Steam Frame will be something actually useful for maid computing.

>>106566995 (OP)
So what your saying is they've got the same problem Sony has?
What a shame, if only they open sourced it so more developers would flock to their VR/AR headset, Apple would unironically start crushing the competition if they weren't retarded.

It's not vr, it's ar, wasn't it?

>>106568009
wut?
Sony made the PSVR2 PC compatible

You can actually use it in VRchat (and presumably other VR games) if you get a dev account and load the appropriate experiemtnal software. I can't remember what it's called but it's doable.

ALVR supports the AVP. No excuse now.

>Sony made the PSVR2 PC compatible
They did? Huh I might actually have a reason to buy one then if it ever drops in price when they get ready to release PS6.
I'm gonna go confirm that myself but neat if true.

>>106568053
You need a little box to convert the PS2VR headset output to a DP/HDMI but yes it works. People have even gotten eyetracking working too. Used PS2VR headsets go for like $300.

>god design
How the Mighty have Fallen. And how Fucking Deep.

>>106568064
Actually new ones go for about that much too if you can find a clearance

>>106566995 (OP)
This is unironically the most disgraceful post-Jobs Apple product. Jobs would never have released anything like this.

>>106568053
yeah its $350 and for that pricepoint its the king

>>106568103
No, he really, literally wouldn't .
Not the man's biggest fan either, but he'd have booted cunts right round The Ring for presenting him with this trash.

>>106568132
Exactly. Pretty much all of his products were designed so they could be useful for everyone to solve their problems. This VR headset is a literal tech demo that solves no problem. It's not a complete product, and it's definitely not for a wide audience.

>>106566995 (OP)
Apple doesn't make content...

>>106568158
Maybe you just don't understand the value proposition. XR is a game-changer for productivity.

>>106568181
so why release a product that has no content providers?

>>106566995 (OP)
it seems that apple fanatics, also known as iToddlers, have been blown the fuck out. If only there was a reaction image for this.

>>106568196
>a game-changer for productivity
Because... wait, let me guess, "it just is, ok?"

>>106568196
If you have to explain or it can be misunderstood, the product is already garbage. Old Apple used to understand this, nu-Apple and freetards don't understand it.

>>106566995 (OP)
you're missing the reasons its failed

Steve would never approve it.

Tim Cook is a retard who only sought quick money.

>>106567012
its a ski mask.

>>106568103
Yeah right
inb4 "hurr it's not real" - yes it was, like many other things he announced that were total flops.

>>106566995 (OP)
>We want the ugly degenerate audience
Apple's ads are doing a good job of turning me off.

>>106566995 (OP)
Placating investors who were breathing down their necks because Meta was seemingly making a play for the entire XR space and they'd run out the clock on their "delay so no one copies out innovations" strategy. The entire point was to release a device that could conceivably seen as their "real" entry into XR but actually have nothing new in it to be poached.
Basically they've held back the industry for a decade and half.
