Early impressions sound like Apple may have actually pulled this off. Here’s what The Verge had to say:
Was all this made better by the wildly superior Vision Pro hardware? Without question. But was it made more compelling? I don’t know, and I’m not sure I can know with just a short time wearing the headset. I do know that wearing this thing felt oddly lonely. How do you watch a movie with other people in a Vision Pro? What if you want to collaborate with people in the room with you and people on FaceTime? What does it mean that Apple wants you to wear a headset at your child’s birthday party? There are just more questions than answers here, and some of those questions get at the very nature of what it means for our lives to be literally mediated by screens.
I definitely agree with that. I’d like to try this but I don’t know if I’d ever want one.
Doesn’t mean that much if it costs you your kidney
Definitely cool, but the price is wayyyyyyy too insane, even by Apple standards
I bet being MKBHD would be the best job in the world. You get all this stuff for free and then make an insane amount of money talking about it on camera.
Maybe it’s good, but is it useful? Do we really need a device that illude us that reality is better than it is?
Do I really need a device that makes me feel my office is a caribbean beach or I need a device that allow me to work less, so I have time to go to a real caribbean beach?
It definitely seems like a luxury, but being able to essentially sit in a movie theater by yourself while flying in a plane sounds really nice.
