Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought::Is the Vision Pro for watching movies? Working? Being alone? Collaborating? Nobody knows, really, writes John Herrman.

VR has been a thing for years now and has been getting cheaper over time. I’ve had no interest in using it whatsoever. Clearly the thing that needed to change was for it to get MORE expensive. Thanks Apple! Always giving the customer what they didn’t know they wanted!
I had a go on a VR helmet and thought it was kind of fun, but at the moment the options seem to be an affordable one that’s infested with Facebook nonsense, or the Valve/Apple ones which are presumably less intrusive but cost a fortune. So I’m fine to just do without until someone figures out how to do it in a cheap, open-source kind of way, like the raspberry pi of VR helmets.
That might not even be possible, but in that case I’m also fine to just do without TBH.
I’ve been following Relativty for a bit now. It might be up your alley.
Hmm, I have a soldering iron and a 3D printer. You might be right. Thanks for the link!
I need the tech to get way further before I seriously consider it. Give me proper AR in glasses that aren’t significantly larger than the ones on my face right now and I’ll be listening intently.
On the VR front I still also haven’t found productive uses, I just don’t need it for work and while I did think some of the games were fun not enough to justify getting one when I can already game on Xbox or PC…
HTC Vive and Bigscreen Beyond say hello.
To be fair to Apple, the AVP is first of it’s kind. Literally nothing else functions the same way it does. But based on its naming, you can bet a lower priced version is already on its way. For regular consumers, that’s the one you should get, not this, especially when 3rd party apps are still being developed.

Nothing is as shitty as apple did is big understatement
There are plenty of things to not like about Apple, but this ain’t it, dude.
I’m struggling to figure it out and I didn’t have to spend $3,500… :)
Imagine thinking you need to be more online, not less.
Wasn’t there a Steve Jobs interview where they asked what the iPad is for right after its release, and he did that Steve Jobs smirk and kind of said, “I don’t know, we’ll just wait and see how people use these”?
I feel like it’s a similar approach here. The iPad certainly didn’t displace all laptops, but I think it’s considered to be a success.
I think a key difference is that Apple had a very clear target demographic for the iPad in mind (lightweight laptop / heavy phone users), and then were prepared to see how it evolved on top of that premise.
With the Vision Pro, they haven’t been able to articulate their target userbase at all, and are pretty much relying on the early adopters to help define it for them.
Which isn’t to say it can’t find its place and be successful. But I don’t think it’s anything like Apple’s other product releases at all…
If you can’t use it for porn, why bother.
Except you can… it’s a computer. It has a web browser and can play any file… that whole uproar was just about certain formats of VR porn not being supported. Which you can install by side loading.

Well… That’s the whole point of porn, innit?
First thing I’d do is put two half ping pong balls over my eyes to mess with eye display feature, then I’d get rid… Not like I can play dcs with it anyway
can it even be used as a pc headset?
if no, than it’s a complete waste of money, especially with it’s piss poor fov and refresh rateI mean you can say whatever you want I can’t believe that thing can run a video editor with 4k+ footage.
