@@samstrider3253 I think Apple is going to try to let games and game peripherals be third party led with first party SDK support like we saw with same of the stuff from the Metal 3 announcements.
When you're a kid, new technology is normal. When you're an adult, new technology is cool and cutting edge. And when you're a bit old, new technology is strange and maybe a bit dystopian.
That's so true. I wanted msn messenger on my "smartphone" in the mid 00's, and thought Runescape would be cool. But nothing ever happened... Until eventually real smartphones were well under way.
The moment where the dad records his kid's birthday with a giant pair of goggles was both hilarious and bizarre, but what I took away from it is that it's almost a guarantee Apple is going to put that type of tech into iPhones very soon.
This is the beginning of the future of computing. As tech gets better, we can have more natural headsets like glasses. I see it enhancing vision for night vision or super zoom thanks to its integrated cameras. With AI it can show me in the real world how something works or how to fix it. This is the start of AR.
I wish other people would realize this and not default to "it solves no problems" these devices have so much potential yet uninformed people treat it like a firecracker when in reality it's a nuclear bomb.
That would be cool. Get them half way to glasses and with bigger fov i might wear them as cycling goggles. Biggest problem will be reducing the battery size. Maybe they'll get it in the strap one day.
What we can't wait for is to see through clothes, apparently some of the IR sensors can already do that but they disabled it so they can get to market it as a major selling point later. Can't wait!
@@samstrider3253 Some sports could benefit from AR,, cycling of course the ability to HUD map and data, speed, etc.. AR sunglasses for climatic conditions, eye protection from harmful radiation. Zoom and magnification when needed. , ditch the microscope., thermal for locating heat loss and faulty overheating components, search and rescue , firefighting. Overall a vision enhancer. Battery boost integrated into a helmet.

It was very interesting to have Apple take time to mention the privacy of where you look. So you won't get ads targeted to where you look on the screen. Made me think of The Matrix. If you look at the lady in the red dress, the advertisers won't know. (Or so I hope.)
It seems obvious that it will be able to 3D scan a room at low res in real-time, then high res when the 3D video is post processed with photogrammetry. And you’ll be able to design cabinetry, etc. in 3d. As someone with an architectural background, I see this as the greatest design tool since the advent of AutoCAD in the 1980s. It’s not merely a VR headset. It’s a standalone spatial computer. But that’s why it’s called Pro. It’s for design Professionals, not the average consumer.
With augmented reality, one could live in an unfurnished space with just a comfortable chair and a side table. just think of the money one could save on home furnishings.
I think comparing the headsets with a TV was a really bad comparison, the headset will allow so much more than a TV and you can have a TV any size you want and many of them at once for productivity, and much more immersive, About using the headsets in family moments I agree but I think you'll have the options to take the 3D pictures without having the headset on, you don't need to wear it all the time only when you want it... And indeed this is just the first version, soon they will become smaller and most likely you'll have the option to connect those headsets with other people around you and have a shared virtual reality experience,
This is an excellent objective, realistic look at future possibilities. The reason that FACETIME looks weird is because the micro-expressions are lost. 90% of communication is body language. Compare your own expressions in this video with the same done with FACETIME. You will note the difference.
Dear Bridget, you forgot 1 very important thing about the headset: You can take it ANYWHERE u want! Be it a plane, car, bus, train or even the mountains. So, no point trying to compare to a high end 4K television.......
I will buy this headset. Humans don't like each other nowadays so at least I got somewhere I can go to just to get away from all the drama in this world.
Exactly, some say "people don't need this and are drifting further from reality if they do" and I respond to that with "at least I can escape the Major news networks, that are already causing that, with this headset" lol
I suspect that the next Iphone PRO models coming out will have 3D cameras that create VR and AR content best viewed in the Vision Pro. As well, I think there's a lot of room for Instagram or Facebook or CZcams to have a "VR" version, where this 3D content will be shared by not just your friends and family, but content creators as well. The content can be viewed in 2D as well, but content made for VR will be highlighted in this version of the app. Simple idea that really adds a lot of value to the EXPERIENCE of wearing the headset. I also expect the Lidar sensor to improve on the next Pro models of the iphone, and maybe an official photogrammetry app (like Polycam 3D) that lets you save 3D models... and, for example, you can add your 3D model of your friend's face to their contact on your phone etc. By leaning into this on the iPhone, they are also adding to the value of having the headset which will let you look at these things in full 3D, life size.
Id love to buy this, but there are 2 factors against such a purchase. 1. I have no other apple devices, so its a bit more limited in practical use. 2. My best buy credit limit is about $1000 shy 😅 Looks like its the Quest 3 for me!
You could take advantage of Apple’s Buy Now Pay Later option and buy it for $149 a month for 24 months. Also, it’s a standalone product that doesn’t require a computer or phone.
@Tim Johnston I know that it's somewhere between a low tier MacBook and an iPad in terms of raw power. Unfortunately, I would need a Mac to use with it for heavier editing, unless it can handle abode or final cut on its own. That would so damn impressive, and then I really would consider the payment plan. Maybe Gen 3 or 4, for now we have to see what software is offered and the limitations of standalone.
There’s always pushback when something revolutionary is revealed. The car, talking pictures, personal computers for home use, and now the top AR headset in the industry. Just because previous attempts have failed, doesn’t mean that this didn’t get it right. Healthy skepticism is good, but never be afraid to admit that something is good. As for the price, most expected nearly twice that much, and for all that Vision Pro does, the price makes sense.
I totally agree with you. Even the price is not that high when you compare this headset with its real competition like HoloLens ($4000) or Varjo XR-3 ($6500) which it beats. This is not really a consumer device but presented in a consumer-friendly manner. It's killer apps haven't been written yet. It's like, would you pay $2000 for a MacBook Pro just to use Notes, Calendar, iMessage, Safari and Calculator? This is good enough (not a gimmick) to be used by designers, engineers and doctors in a totally new way of using a computer. The hardware has matured. The question now is will developers write the software. I think now they will.
I was an early adopter with the AirPods and had to pause and wonder how people would react to me walking around with these funny looking things sticking out of my ears. Now, nobody thinks twice about someone wearing them.
soldered-in? It's easily removeable. You can swap the batteries so you always have a charged one -- you couldn't do that if the battery was internal. As well, a battery running out of juice is one of the main people replace their phones. Having an easily replaceable battery is a major bonus. Having the heat and weight of the battery off your face is a secondary benefit, imo.
Even though you have valid points made, you shouldn’t make any negative opinions until you personally have tried the headset on and see full experience first hand. Me personally as of right now my only complaint is the high price. I wish I could experience this headset one day.
In fairness, no one has reviewed the device. Some had the demo and their first impressions is the only thing available. MKBHD is my favorite of those right now.
It is just too big and bulky at the moment. Until it is reduced by weight and size to a pair of Raybans Wayfarer, this device will not replace the phone or the computer. It is a good starting point for future development and miniaturization. To get to that size I think it will take another 5 to 10 years, only then I feel it has the potential to completely replace our current mobile phones.
Most of the bulk is the custom face-pad. When you remove that it's barely thicker than a phone. The face-pad is kind of important since it needs to fit comfortably AND block out all incoming light. For AR glasses there's the dream of regular sunglasses.. but VR requires light-blocking. I don't think this device is REALLY intended to be worn when you're out and about anyway.. it's for wearing at specific times, like on a flight or when you're working out, or watching a movie. In those instances, the bulk of the device isn't really a huge issue, imo. But, I'm sure you're right that they'll continue to find ways to shrink and make the device better for different situations.
Her criticisms kind of reminds me of how people’s reactions were like after watching the iPad’s keynote and unveiling. It’s a bit interesting she kind of suggests that buying two OLED tvs would be somehow better than buying the vision pro.
I guess the whole interplay between extra/introversion may explain how people see this device. And as someone who really enjoys being alone for a long period of time...this product is revolutionary and leaves me in awe of the possibilities. I see it and it makes me feel happy...and fills me with an almost giddy abundance of optimism and hopefulness. But I haven't tried it...and also you haven't tried it. So I guess we all need to take that into account.
Good point about introversion. I think there's some new quirky areas of socializing we'll be questioning until launch. I would never say it would fail or not until we actually see this in action and see the demand beyond the first year. It's a lot of new territory to navigate.
@@BridgetCareyyeah as an introvert film lover who’s tried other vr solutions to the home theater this one made the best version of it. Obviously I have to experience it myself to know if the image clarity is what I’m hoping for but this could solve my sadness around how sad it is to rewatch films made for IMAX on even a very nice OLED TV, which I do have. They are probably are going to sell one to me purely on the notion that I can watch Avatar: The Way of Water in a bioluminescently lit forest clearing on Pandora in 3D. It also make me imagine someone like Christopher Nolan or James Cameron who are famously nerds about different film media making content tailored to a VR/AR viewing experience that’s not even possible at the cinema.
@@godswittness69 I’m an introvert who’s deeply into technology. I spend tons of time by myself - happily. I work from home. I’m a software engineer. And yet every time I’m around other people they’re all just staring at their phones while I put my phone on do not disturb and try to pay full attention to these people who are supposedly more connected to others than me. So excuse me as I scoff at the idea that this will generate some new divide between me and others when I use it in my personal time and continue to not use it around others while they stare down at their phones compulsively.
@@g33xzi11a the vision pro will create a divide between you and others the same way you described phones do, but probably even more. All this technology makes us dumber and less connected, less human, and more unhappy than ever.... if this technology was so great people would at the very least be overall happier, smarter and more fulfilled but this isn't the case. Mental health is at an all time low, people are getting dumbed down, and people are more unhappy than ever, and connecting less and less in real life, whereas nothing can replace genuine face to face human interaction. The vision pro will just amplify these sad but true facts.
Well, at least it'll "validate" that segment of tech. Anytime Apple does something, everyone else follows it. That'll ultimately give us the innovation. And, maybe in 5 years, Apple will make a Google Glass and act like it's the newest thing. Either way, we consumers win.
Absolutely agree with everything that was pointed in this video👍. I like that Apple has joined the area, even so the particular device looks quite useless at this point, but I’m sure they will produce the better one soon that will be more focused on what consumers really need.
As someone who works form home and doesn't see much of colleagues, I can see this taking conference calls to another dimension. If my colleagues are also earing such a headset and we're in a virtual office space, we can sit at our virtual desk and see and hear what others are up to. Take this to a personal level, watching a movie at home, I can sit in my living room and watch the same movie on the same screen as family on the other side of the world. In a virtual living room we can watch the movie - or the football game - as though we're in the same room. I would agree though, kids need to see their parents faces. covering the face is a bad idea. Seeing parents engrossed in their phone when they should be engaging with their kids is not a good look. And how do we keep track of a teen in a virtual headset? When it's common place for parents, it's a natural progression for kids / teens to learn the skill. With a phone, it's easy enough to see what's on the screen. No so easy on a headset.
The way Share Play, Car Play work and how our phones interact and connect with each other, I have to believe that each Vision Pro device should be able to connect to each other and share medias
I bet that 3d video is going to be priceless to deployed parents and just dads or moms that are working out of state or country so they can have a realistic memory to relive 😢
I think the vision pro is an incredibly innovative design and one persons cringe is another persons idea of awesome. I’m waiting for the price to come down & for more apps & uses to be introduced, as I’m really excited to see where this tech goes from here
I remember watching this woman when i was like 14. Glad to see she's doing well and continuing create great content after all this time. Keep up the great work!
Bridget, seriously? Was this click bait?....I'd expect more insight from you about the long term prospects not just the short term impact....I think you are being wayyyy too harsh by emphasizing dystopian so much. Apple is clearly innovating here - in 1984 we got GUI and Mouse interface through the intro of Macintosh which within 5-6 years become mainstream with Windows 95. Now EVERYONE in the world uses it. Spatial computing is a not just a revolutionary step, but rather an evolutionary step, and this is just V1. In fact, its a really polished V1 from nearly every reviewer that I’ve seen that has tried it (and there are many). I wouldn’t suggest seeing this as a replacement for all day use, or mobile (not at home) use, but I could easily see this replacing IPAD (for example) as the main consumption device at home. I don’t think that is far fetched. Also Apple is playing smart by opening up its own App ecosystem of 2D apps that are useable in a spatial environment quite nicely. But the real power will be short-burst 3D immersive experiences that will harness the power and provide all kinds of consumer and business with great use cases. Also ,why are you so annoyed by the dad shooting a 3D movie? Like you said, it could easily be used for special occasions - wouldn’t it be NICE to bring 3D video experiences to the consumer level. I could see lots of examples of shooting my dog or other situations in 3D that would be awesome to watch in the future in a big spatial wide screen. Ultimately, its up to us to let tech rule our life or keep life in balance. But just pushing back on innovation for fear of a dystopic future or the unknown is crazy. Let me summarize. Anytime there is a disruption in tech, many pessimists (generally older) tend to find reasons to be haters. History has shown this in my lifetime, e.g. there have always been many nay-sayers of disruption with BluRay DVD, streaming- music services (e.g. Napster), wearables (smartwatches), touch based interfaces, home based AI (Siri and Amazon Echo), and so much more. Yet most end up finding great scenarios for use and become mainstream over time. This is a moment to embrace the new tech and look forward with optimism on the possibilities. Otherwise, you’d be stuck reviewing newer emojis on IPhone or something that has no significant impact on our future. Lastly, it ISN’T natural to type looking at a physical piece of glass (on our desk). Spatial is the future. This is V1. Thank you Apple for going BIG - we need more innovators and less nay-sayers and pessimists that always find why things will not work. Embrace innovation and disruption- always. Expect long long lines for this product. One more point. Though there was nothing in-factual about what you shared, I just felt your entire sarcastic tone was filled with negativity and pessimism. There are so many positives from innovation to enhance our well being, embrace those , don’t’ fear change, and its on you to keep your life in balance. Just as an FYI, I have my own California tech company and have represented all kinds of disruptive tech from the Silicon Valley for 25+ years now.
cnet did not research enough the vision pro runs ipad apps already and you can watch movies in 3d thats already enough innovation without the developers creating anything new to justify the 4k screens in each eye price tag it will be the greatest invention of all time
great review, you're right about carrying that thing around all day, it looks heavy and impractical i've seen people mention using these AR devices for sports, but who would want to get these items all sweaty, no thanks!
From all the reviews this was by far the best one from an actual thinking caring bright person thanks for putting this thing in perspective. I totally agree with you
For me the only useful use of this tech is actually, using it for reading scientific papers, writing, coding analyzing data… I’m used to work on dual displays which is something difficult to do anywhere… in a library at the lab, on the field, at a cafe on a beach… or jungle but with the vision pro I could have portable displays to work anywhere and this is a problem for me since I tend to loose concentration, needing to rotate between places due to concentration and distraction issues… i could use this to work.
“the only useful use of this tech FOR ME” If you really study scientific papers, you already one cannot apply to general what’s experienced by one or few
The Vision Pro seems like an Oculus, with high resolution. Resolution matters, but content > resolution. Steve Jobs said "it is not about the bits and the bytes". I feel that is still true. I love my Oculus for the table tennis, and am totally happy with the experience. People who say they want to take a Vision Pro on an aeroplane: spare me, I can barely lug an iPad on a plane. As if you will take a bulky headset in carry on luggage. And after a busy day of work, I can't imagine you will want to be strapped in a headset on a couch for 2 hours. The Oculus focus on activity makes more sense to me, in a sedentary world.
I don’t think strapping in a headset to take a 3D video is practical but I think the eyes and the working in AR are not cringe at all. Hopefully the next iPhone will have 3D cameras
its amazing and unsettling all at once. unsettling only cause I'm convinced this wasn't ready to be released....its seems 3 years behind introduction. As a VR enthusiast I am immensely excited that they pushed this out in the wild to set a standard going forward for the VR world. Its amazing the true presence you get in the VR community as if your truly in a social environment and apple will push that so much further
As a sociologist I must note that you are the first (female) commentator who brings a totaly parental perpective to the analysis of this technology for the first time, THANK YOU!
With the reported price, I'm not sure too many everyday people will have these. Yes there will be early adopters, but not many regular people will be able to afford them. Also, if you think Apple's going to lower the price anytime soon, think again. Apple is the poster child of over pricing everything it sells. Over $1000 for a cell phone, $2000 for a laptop, $4000 for a desktop computer, what do you think will happen to these things after a few years. Not a chance will these be affordable to the general public.
Yes, photographing your kids with goggles on seems weird. But you can make a movie in ten minutes and then go back to that ten minutes forever after you take the goggles off and really play with your kids. Are you kidding.
The thing about the Vision Pro is if they can shrink the same tech to be the size of normal glasses or even contact lenses it will replace phones for good. Like you've said phones are the better video recorders since it's smaller and more readily available same can happen here.. For now it's cringe though 🤷♂
This is a high-end product for people with enough money to throw away into a beta project not yet fully actualized with hardware and software. To deter casual consumers who aren’t so tech savvy from getting it and being disappointed in this early-gen product, Apple gave it a high price. You might ask why they’re even releasing it, it’s because Apple still needs to attract developers to the space in order to have apps and find use cases and make improvements to the software stack before they get people who would just never buy it again if the experience was poor. They want to keep sentiment about AR/MR high within the consumer’s mind
When the first iPhone came out I could see tons of value. I'm not seeing the value here. I bought the Oculus 2 for $400 and it was a fun couple of hours. Since then it doesn't get used. There was no value in it. I'm not seeing myself spending $3500+ for a couple of hours of fun.
Great review Bridget!! Yours was my favorite out of any of them. I think this headset is just the beginning of about a 5-10 year process before we get a viable consumer level product
These glasses are the next iPhone moment. Sucks that she can’t see it yet! We will all have future versions of the Apple vision air or max or pro, for some. I can’t wait!
I’m a dev. Why would I want to spend my time building something for this? The price means that virtually no one will have it. Why would I spend my time developing for a $3,500 face worn laptop that so far is just a toy for rich people, when I could spend my time making something with a potential market audience of hundreds of thousands of people or millions of people? The most successful Apple Vision Pro app may be found on 10,000 units. How much am I supposed to be selling this for to recoup my time!? What will the non-pro model be like? Will it have the same hardware? Will it be capable of the same things? If I build something that pushes the system the app may fundamentally not be compatible with the next generation of hardware designed to sell to a larger audience.
I saw an ad from Apple. Apple needs to stop using unattractive actors in videos. Especially women. About the device: there are already other VR glasses in the world. Now they are useless. They are not needed. Plus makes headache, he makes vertigo.
Nahhh, that wouldn't make sense. But we know the headstrap is swappable, and company BandWerk is selling different color luxury leather bands for $159 USD.
Who cares if we are spending time with each other in a virtual world. The world isn't going to end just because we don't spend time in person but instead in a virtual world
So when this headset is available for demo at physical Apple stores, no one will want to try it out? I think that is the real purpose of the Headset. I don’t think Apple expects is to be like iPhone in sales. It’s something to cause buzz and get more people to Apple Stores, where they may purchase other products or accessories. The kicker is that Apple has a lot of baller users who will actually buy it. It may out sell all the head sets of Meta, Valve, and Microsoft combined.
Your points are valid, however, the attitude of this video shows a lack of understanding with VR. This headset is brand new, a new OS, and a year out. This was a showcase of the technology, which if you are familiar with the VR industry, is now the most capable and high tech. Most of the apps, games, and tools available in VR aren't made by those who make the hardware. Getting this headset out, with all of its capabilities, will allow developers to make some outstanding content, not to mention what this tech will do for other future apple devices. By the time this gets into everyday consumers' hands, there will likely be much more available on/with it, as well as likely other models and price points, as well as the tech integrating into the other products. Let's not forget the lag time of revolutionary technology. Computers and phones didn't become the norm in a single year, I expect the results of this wont fully be realized until years down the road. And if anyone standardizes new tech, it will be Apple.
The interface is the issue, not this early implementation. In five years we will all be using this interface. It will bear no more resemblance to this implementation than the iPhone 5 did to the first iPhone. I "cringe" at this naive video.
There are minor cringe things with this headset but this review is more cringe than anything. Sorry but being overtly negative is cringe. This is a preview and most likely not last press release, so I’m sure more will come out and maybe some changes. So some of your gripes might already have answers to before release. Like putting it on to take video. I want to assume you can use your phone and review later on headset. I think it’s a given to take pics and videos natively because of the cameras. Most cameras already have the ability to take 3D content….. As far as killer apps, they’re coming. That’s why the announcement is so early. They’re still working on it’s content. I’m not a developer but I have ideas that I did not see at WWDC, but utilizing that hardware makes my imagination run wild. I’m sure there are like minded developers who will go crazy with this. In short wait till late this year or early next……. I promise you the apps to come will be game and life changing.
Honestly, I was hoping for AR Spectacles. Glasses that look almost like normal glasses that could beam screens right into your eyes. That would have been the next smartphone. A smart phone you don't need to hold with screens larger than monitors, all in some smart glasses. This isn't the next iphone, it's just an Apple VR Headset.
But why couldn't anyone record themselves wearing the headset? When do you expect to sell the product to developers and consumers when no one can at least view how the product looks on a user outside of marketing? Is that the time when we compare Apple's headset to Meta.
This seems a little far out for me. I get them being used at home, but its going to be so weird if this becomes the norm and we start just walking around in vr and ar all the time
I love how everyone is talking about how this headset is missing a point or being cringy. While I still believe Apple’s whole point was to get everyone talking about it. 😅
I don't think this is a consumer device at the moment. In my view, with the device, what can I do in a 3D space/desktop, that I currently can't do on a normal computer screen/keyboard/mouse?
in theory you could walk your home with it and it would scan your entire area (i assuming it has a Lidar scan like the Iphone). then you could have a 3d visualization of your house. if an app has access to that 3d mesh somehow (even if only for geometry) then it could generate an entire mix of experiences made specially for you. you could set the environment for achitectural purposes, reimagine how your room would like with other furniture. games where things happen inside the mesh of your room, where enemies avoid the walls for example. you could attach flat screens all over your house (inside the headset) so you dont need to watch tv only on your room, but in the yard, kitchen, etc. new media could be seen in 3d, or 360 and 3d (try watch a 360 vieo, its blured because of the resolution, but maybe with a 4k display gets another level of immersion) if it can run photoshop, you could paint photos using your hands or maybe with special gloves you could sculpt 3d models. you could aniate things in 3d space by oonly using your hands (first pass) and refining later on pc. you could even animate characters if they allow other developers to make gloves and foot trackers, etc simulate spatial audio of a show or event.. from a media/3d perspective this tech is amazing. Pricey, but amazing
With Apple’s Buy Now Pay Later service, you should be able to own the Vision Pro for about $149 a month for 24 months. Not unlike we bought iPhones from the carriers in the early days of iPhone.
With all of this technology in the headset, does it take away from the future technological advances developed for the iPhones, iPads and Desk/Lab top computers. Are they going to be forgotten devices?
We made an edit to the video around the 8 minute marker and it's still processing on CZcams in the background. Apologies for the audio sync at 8:54. That's CZcams encoding the edit in the background. It should fix itself, eventually. Thanks for watching!
The review was so good I thought it was a running joke about eyesight being out of sync 😆But what about the games (that we know nothing about)!
Ok love the video though
Its STILL not right 3 hours later. :(
@@samstrider3253 I think Apple is going to try to let games and game peripherals be third party led with first party SDK support like we saw with same of the stuff from the Metal 3 announcements.
Trash review. Cringe if you ask me.
When you're a kid, new technology is normal. When you're an adult, new technology is cool and cutting edge. And when you're a bit old, new technology is strange and maybe a bit dystopian.
Maybe because when you become older you understand what Dystopian means to you and those who don't.
bruh you aint gotta be old to understand this is insane
I completely agree. Learn to embrace, not live in fear
I'm sure the kids in Hiroshima found nuclear fission completely normal.. What a dumb comment you made.
That's so true. I wanted msn messenger on my "smartphone" in the mid 00's, and thought Runescape would be cool.
But nothing ever happened... Until eventually real smartphones were well under way.
The moment where the dad records his kid's birthday with a giant pair of goggles was both hilarious and bizarre, but what I took away from it is that it's almost a guarantee Apple is going to put that type of tech into iPhones very soon.

not addressed is the potential of vision correction and filtering, not to mention enhancements like IR and thermal imaging.
That would be cool. Get them half way to glasses and with bigger fov i might wear them as cycling goggles. Biggest problem will be reducing the battery size. Maybe they'll get it in the strap one day.
What we can't wait for is to see through clothes, apparently some of the IR sensors can already do that but they disabled it so they can get to market it as a major selling point later. Can't wait!
@@samstrider3253 Some sports could benefit from AR,, cycling of course the ability to HUD map and data, speed, etc.. AR sunglasses for climatic conditions, eye protection from harmful radiation.

One more way to pump ads on your face
It was very interesting to have Apple take time to mention the privacy of where you look. So you won't get ads targeted to where you look on the screen. Made me think of The Matrix. If you look at the lady in the red dress, the advertisers won't know. (Or so I hope.)
It seems obvious that it will be able to 3D scan a room at low res in real-time, then high res when the 3D video is post processed with photogrammetry. And you’ll be able to design cabinetry, etc. in 3d. As someone with an architectural background, I see this as the greatest design tool since the advent of AutoCAD in the 1980s.
It’s not merely a VR headset. It’s a standalone spatial computer.
But that’s why it’s called Pro. It’s for design Professionals, not the average consumer.
Just buy a insta360.. does the same..
With augmented reality, one could live in an unfurnished space with just a comfortable chair and a side table. just think of the money one could save on home furnishings.
I think comparing the headsets with a TV was a really bad comparison, the headset will allow so much more than a TV and you can have a TV any size you want and many of them at once for productivity, and much more immersive,
About using the headsets in family moments I agree but I think you'll have the options to take the 3D pictures without having the headset on, you don't need to wear it all the time only when you want it...
And indeed this is just the first version, soon they will become smaller and most likely you'll have the option to connect those headsets with other people around you and have a shared virtual reality experience,
This is an excellent objective, realistic look at future possibilities. The reason that FACETIME looks weird is because the micro-expressions are lost. 90% of communication is body language. Compare your own expressions in this video with the same done with FACETIME. You will note the difference.
Dear Bridget, you forgot 1 very important thing about the headset:
You can take it ANYWHERE u want! Be it a plane, car, bus, train or even the mountains. So, no point trying to compare to a high end 4K television.......
I will buy this headset. Humans don't like each other nowadays so at least I got somewhere I can go to just to get away from all the drama in this world.
Exactly, some say "people don't need this and are drifting further from reality if they do" and I respond to that with "at least I can escape the Major news networks, that are already causing that, with this headset" lol
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 exactly my friend exactly 💯.
True
I suspect that the next Iphone PRO models coming out will have 3D cameras that create VR and AR content best viewed in the Vision Pro. As well, I think there's a lot of room for Instagram or Facebook or CZcams to have a "VR" version, where this 3D content will be shared by not just your friends and family, but content creators as well. The content can be viewed in 2D as well, but content made for VR will be highlighted in this version of the app. Simple idea that really adds a lot of value to the EXPERIENCE of wearing the headset.
I also expect the Lidar sensor to improve on the next Pro models of the iphone, and maybe an official photogrammetry app (like Polycam 3D) that lets you save 3D models... and, for example, you can add your 3D model of your friend's face to their contact on your phone etc. By leaning into this on the iPhone, they are also adding to the value of having the headset which will let you look at these things in full 3D, life size.
Id love to buy this, but there are 2 factors against such a purchase.
1. I have no other apple devices, so its a bit more limited in practical use.
2. My best buy credit limit is about $1000 shy 😅
Looks like its the Quest 3 for me!
You could take advantage of Apple’s Buy Now Pay Later option and buy it for $149 a month for 24 months. Also, it’s a standalone product that doesn’t require a computer or phone.
@Tim Johnston I know that it's somewhere between a low tier MacBook and an iPad in terms of raw power. Unfortunately, I would need a Mac to use with it for heavier editing, unless it can handle abode or final cut on its own. That would so damn impressive, and then I really would consider the payment plan. Maybe Gen 3 or 4, for now we have to see what software is offered and the limitations of standalone.
@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 it's running same processor as their latest powerful Macbook. You can do heavy editing with it
That eyesight thing really creeps me out ....😢 like its not cartoonish yet not real enough
There’s always pushback when something revolutionary is revealed. The car, talking pictures, personal computers for home use, and now the top AR headset in the industry. Just because previous attempts have failed, doesn’t mean that this didn’t get it right. Healthy skepticism is good, but never be afraid to admit that something is good. As for the price, most expected nearly twice that much, and for all that Vision Pro does, the price makes sense.
I totally agree with you. Even the price is not that high when you compare this headset with its real competition like HoloLens ($4000) or Varjo XR-3 ($6500) which it beats. This is not really a consumer device but presented in a consumer-friendly manner. It's killer apps haven't been written yet. It's like, would you pay $2000 for a MacBook Pro just to use Notes, Calendar, iMessage, Safari and Calculator? This is good enough (not a gimmick) to be used by designers, engineers and doctors in a totally new way of using a computer. The hardware has matured. The question now is will developers write the software. I think now they will.
I was an early adopter with the AirPods and had to pause and wonder how people would react to me walking around with these funny looking things sticking out of my ears. Now, nobody thinks twice about someone wearing them.
Legend has it Apple forgot to add power to it, so they added a soldered-in power bank for the pocket.
soldered-in? It's easily removeable. You can swap the batteries so you always have a charged one -- you couldn't do that if the battery was internal. As well, a battery running out of juice is one of the main people replace their phones. Having an easily replaceable battery is a major bonus. Having the heat and weight of the battery off your face is a secondary benefit, imo.
Even though you have valid points made, you shouldn’t make any negative opinions until you personally have tried the headset on and see full experience first hand. Me personally as of right now my only complaint is the high price. I wish I could experience this headset one day.
This is the best review that I have seen to far. Thanks Bridget for being honest and not repeating Apple's press release.
Is this a review, though? She never even used the thing lol
@@olajujuan Good point, it is a reflection, an essay of some sorts. I love it nonetheless.
In fairness, no one has reviewed the device. Some had the demo and their first impressions is the only thing available. MKBHD is my favorite of those right now.
Just because you agree with her opinion makes her review the best and honest? 😅 right.
She just hatin
It is just too big and bulky at the moment. Until it is reduced by weight and size to a pair of Raybans Wayfarer, this device will not replace the phone or the computer. It is a good starting point for future development and miniaturization. To get to that size I think it will take another 5 to 10 years, only then I feel it has the potential to completely replace our current mobile phones.
3 years max. Upgrading a device takes way less time then creating it from scratch.
Nreal air?
Google Glass
Most of the bulk is the custom face-pad. When you remove that it's barely thicker than a phone. The face-pad is kind of important since it needs to fit comfortably AND block out all incoming light. For AR glasses there's the dream of regular sunglasses.. but VR requires light-blocking. I don't think this device is REALLY intended to be worn when you're out and about anyway.. it's for wearing at specific times, like on a flight or when you're working out, or watching a movie. In those instances, the bulk of the device isn't really a huge issue, imo. But, I'm sure you're right that they'll continue to find ways to shrink and make the device better for different situations.
Her criticisms kind of reminds me of how people’s reactions were like after watching the iPad’s keynote and unveiling. It’s a bit interesting she kind of suggests that buying two OLED tvs would be somehow better than buying the vision pro.
They always do that, but needless to say, you could actually get 2 oled tvs, a PS5, and a quest pro for that price.
can build a 4k high refresh rate gaming pc with this kind of money. good tech, will buy later when its cheap.
I guess the whole interplay between extra/introversion may explain how people see this device. And as someone who really enjoys being alone for a long period of time...this product is revolutionary and leaves me in awe of the possibilities. I see it and it makes me feel happy...and fills me with an almost giddy abundance of optimism and hopefulness. But I haven't tried it...and also you haven't tried it. So I guess we all need to take that into account.
Good point about introversion. I think there's some new quirky areas of socializing we'll be questioning until launch. I would never say it would fail or not until we actually see this in action and see the demand beyond the first year. It's a lot of new territory to navigate.
@@BridgetCareyyeah as an introvert film lover who’s tried other vr solutions to the home theater this one made the best version of it. Obviously I have to experience it myself to know if the image clarity is what I’m hoping for but this could solve my sadness around how sad it is to rewatch films made for IMAX on even a very nice OLED TV, which I do have. They are probably are going to sell one to me purely on the notion that I can watch Avatar: The Way of Water in a bioluminescently lit forest clearing on Pandora in 3D. It also make me imagine someone like Christopher Nolan or James Cameron who are famously nerds about different film media making content tailored to a VR/AR viewing experience that’s not even possible at the cinema.
Tell us all about how big of an introvert you all are when you no longer have any human contact.
@@godswittness69 I’m an introvert who’s deeply into technology. I spend tons of time by myself - happily. I work from home. I’m a software engineer. And yet every time I’m around other people they’re all just staring at their phones while I put my phone on do not disturb and try to pay full attention to these people who are supposedly more connected to others than me. So excuse me as I scoff at the idea that this will generate some new divide between me and others when I use it in my personal time and continue to not use it around others while they stare down at their phones compulsively.
@@g33xzi11a the vision pro will create a divide between you and others the same way you described phones do, but probably even more.
All this technology makes us dumber and less connected, less human, and more unhappy than ever.... if this technology was so great people would at the very least be overall happier, smarter and more fulfilled but this isn't the case. Mental health is at an all time low, people are getting dumbed down, and people are more unhappy than ever, and connecting less and less in real life, whereas nothing can replace genuine face to face human interaction. The vision pro will just amplify these sad but true facts.
Well, at least it'll "validate" that segment of tech. Anytime Apple does something, everyone else follows it. That'll ultimately give us the innovation. And, maybe in 5 years, Apple will make a Google Glass and act like it's the newest thing. Either way, we consumers win.
Amazing Review Bridget as always. There is some voice sync issue on this video, unless it's just me getting it.
not just you
Absolutely agree with everything that was pointed in this video👍. I like that Apple has joined the area, even so the particular device looks quite useless at this point, but I’m sure they will produce the better one soon that will be more focused on what consumers really need.
I think a demo closer to Ready Player One would win more affection.
The audio aren't in sync towards the end of the video CNET 🧐
I thought it was me or my computer was the problem, lol. I wonder how they let this slip
Price is the only thing that’s holding back people. If it was half the cost of everyone would want one.
Remember when the Quest Pro was too expensive 😂. Now it's half the price, I expect the same for the Vision Pro in a couple years.
Quest 3 is a pretty similar device, with a lot of the same functionality, starting at $500
The biggest cringe? 2hr battery....
You don’t think you can connect directly to a outlet ? ????
@@Teslabotjames Oh yea...plug in...then what's the point of buy mobile tech? just to keep stick it to the wall...Imagine iPad come with 2hr battery
As someone who works form home and doesn't see much of colleagues, I can see this taking conference calls to another dimension. If my colleagues are also earing such a headset and we're in a virtual office space, we can sit at our virtual desk and see and hear what others are up to.
Take this to a personal level, watching a movie at home, I can sit in my living room and watch the same movie on the same screen as family on the other side of the world. In a virtual living room we can watch the movie - or the football game - as though we're in the same room.
I would agree though, kids need to see their parents faces. covering the face is a bad idea. Seeing parents engrossed in their phone when they should be engaging with their kids is not a good look.
And how do we keep track of a teen in a virtual headset? When it's common place for parents, it's a natural progression for kids / teens to learn the skill. With a phone, it's easy enough to see what's on the screen. No so easy on a headset.
The way Share Play, Car Play work and how our phones interact and connect with each other, I have to believe that each Vision Pro device should be able to connect to each other and share medias
Imagine this idiot trying to drive with this thing on...lol
*iPhones
Yes, apple device interconnectivity is a large part of this headset.
People calling this a “REVIEW” when she didn’t even use it LOL…
This sounds more like an opinionated criticism over personal boundaries or something.
Something very dystopian about a screen on both sides and you never really see the actual person. Wait for those Snapchat filters.
Perfect for introverts. I wouldn’t use that thing in public or in the house with people around
I bet that 3d video is going to be priceless to deployed parents and just dads or moms that are working out of state or country so they can have a realistic memory to relive 😢
I think the vision pro is an incredibly innovative design and one persons cringe is another persons idea of awesome. I’m waiting for the price to come down & for more apps & uses to be introduced, as I’m really excited to see where this tech goes from here
I remember watching this woman when i was like 14. Glad to see she's doing well and continuing create great content after all this time. Keep up the great work!
How old are you now?
Damn she looking finnnee for her age. 😂
Bridget, seriously? Was this click bait?....I'd expect more insight from you about the long term prospects not just the short term impact....I think you are being wayyyy too harsh by emphasizing dystopian so much. Apple is clearly innovating here - in 1984 we got GUI and Mouse interface through the intro of Macintosh which within 5-6 years become mainstream with Windows 95. Now EVERYONE in the world uses it. Spatial computing is a not just a revolutionary step, but rather an evolutionary step, and this is just V1. In fact, its a really polished V1 from nearly every reviewer that I’ve seen that has tried it (and there are many). I wouldn’t suggest seeing this as a replacement for all day use, or mobile (not at home) use, but I could easily see this replacing IPAD (for example) as the main consumption device at home. I don’t think that is far fetched. Also Apple is playing smart by opening up its own App ecosystem of 2D apps that are useable in a spatial environment quite nicely. But the real power will be short-burst 3D immersive experiences that will harness the power and provide all kinds of consumer and business with great use cases. Also ,why are you so annoyed by the dad shooting a 3D movie? Like you said, it could easily be used for special occasions - wouldn’t it be NICE to bring 3D video experiences to the consumer level. I could see lots of examples of shooting my dog or other situations in 3D that would be awesome to watch in the future in a big spatial wide screen. Ultimately, its up to us to let tech rule our life or keep life in balance. But just pushing back on innovation for fear of a dystopic future or the unknown is crazy. Let me summarize. Anytime there is a disruption in tech, many pessimists (generally older) tend to find reasons to be haters. History has shown this in my lifetime, e.g. there have always been many nay-sayers of disruption with BluRay DVD, streaming- music services (e.g. Napster), wearables (smartwatches), touch based interfaces, home based AI (Siri and Amazon Echo), and so much more. Yet most end up finding great scenarios for use and become mainstream over time. This is a moment to embrace the new tech and look forward with optimism on the possibilities. Otherwise, you’d be stuck reviewing newer emojis on IPhone or something that has no significant impact on our future. Lastly, it ISN’T natural to type looking at a physical piece of glass (on our desk). Spatial is the future. This is V1. Thank you Apple for going BIG - we need more innovators and less nay-sayers and pessimists that always find why things will not work. Embrace innovation and disruption- always. Expect long long lines for this product. One more point. Though there was nothing in-factual about what you shared, I just felt your entire sarcastic tone was filled with negativity and pessimism. There are so many positives from innovation to enhance our well being, embrace those , don’t’ fear change, and its on you to keep your life in balance. Just as an FYI, I have my own California tech company and have represented all kinds of disruptive tech from the Silicon Valley for 25+ years now.
Oh please. Apple isn’t holding a gun to anyone’s head to make them buy it.
cnet did not research enough the vision pro runs ipad apps already and you can watch movies in 3d thats already enough innovation without the developers creating anything new to justify the 4k screens in each eye price tag it will be the greatest invention of all time
great review, you're right about carrying that thing around all day, it looks heavy and impractical
i've seen people mention using these AR devices for sports, but who would want to get these items all sweaty, no thanks!
Normies: $3,499 is too much money.
IT consultants: It’s a tax deductible business expense.
From all the reviews this was by far the best one from an actual thinking caring bright person thanks for putting this thing in perspective. I totally agree with you
For me the only useful use of this tech is actually, using it for reading scientific papers, writing, coding analyzing data… I’m used to work on dual displays which is something difficult to do anywhere… in a library at the lab, on the field, at a cafe on a beach… or jungle but with the vision pro I could have portable displays to work anywhere and this is a problem for me since I tend to loose concentration, needing to rotate between places due to concentration and distraction issues… i could use this to work.
“the only useful use of this tech FOR ME”
If you really study scientific papers, you already one cannot apply to general what’s experienced by one or few
Main issue is the heavy weight of the headset.
And the 2 hrs of battery life
The Vision Pro seems like an Oculus, with high resolution. Resolution matters, but content > resolution. Steve Jobs said "it is not about the bits and the bytes". I feel that is still true. I love my Oculus for the table tennis, and am totally happy with the experience. People who say they want to take a Vision Pro on an aeroplane: spare me, I can barely lug an iPad on a plane. As if you will take a bulky headset in carry on luggage. And after a busy day of work, I can't imagine you will want to be strapped in a headset on a couch for 2 hours. The Oculus focus on activity makes more sense to me, in a sedentary world.
I don’t think strapping in a headset to take a 3D video is practical but I think the eyes and the working in AR are not cringe at all. Hopefully the next iPhone will have 3D cameras
its amazing and unsettling all at once. unsettling only cause I'm convinced this wasn't ready to be released....its seems 3 years behind introduction. As a VR enthusiast I am immensely excited that they pushed this out in the wild to set a standard going forward for the VR world. Its amazing the true presence you get in the VR community as if your truly in a social environment and apple will push that so much further
As a sociologist I must note that you are the first (female) commentator who brings a totaly parental perpective to the analysis of this technology for the first time, THANK YOU!
Video is out of sync at 8:50 min.
The price is the only thing I’m not okay with 😂. Other then that I think they are pretty cool
With the reported price, I'm not sure too many everyday people will have these. Yes there will be early adopters, but not many regular people will be able to afford them. Also, if you think Apple's going to lower the price anytime soon, think again. Apple is the poster child of over pricing everything it sells. Over $1000 for a cell phone, $2000 for a laptop, $4000 for a desktop computer, what do you think will happen to these things after a few years. Not a chance will these be affordable to the general public.
Your future iPhone will have the ability to record in 3D. You won't need to use the headset to record your childs birthday party.
Fr, It costs more than a trip to Peru
I will buy this , price is also reasonable ❤
Yes, photographing your kids with goggles on seems weird. But you can make a movie in ten minutes and then go back to that ten minutes forever after you take the goggles off and really play with your kids. Are you kidding.
I actually see this as a likely successful strategy to take market share from the entire display industry including computer monitors and TVs.
Imagine being front row at a sporting event or concert while sitting in your living room.
Wouldn’t want one even if it was in my price range just looks stupid 😂
It's a valid point. People wearing this look simply silly, and the current generation want to look their very best.
The thing about the Vision Pro is if they can shrink the same tech to be the size of normal glasses or even contact lenses it will replace phones for good. Like you've said phones are the better video recorders since it's smaller and more readily available same can happen here.. For now it's cringe though 🤷♂
This is a high-end product for people with enough money to throw away into a beta project not yet fully actualized with hardware and software. To deter casual consumers who aren’t so tech savvy from getting it and being disappointed in this early-gen product, Apple gave it a high price. You might ask why they’re even releasing it, it’s because Apple still needs to attract developers to the space in order to have apps and find use cases and make improvements to the software stack before they get people who would just never buy it again if the experience was poor. They want to keep sentiment about AR/MR high within the consumer’s mind
When the first iPhone came out I could see tons of value. I'm not seeing the value here. I bought the Oculus 2 for $400 and it was a fun couple of hours. Since then it doesn't get used. There was no value in it. I'm not seeing myself spending $3500+ for a couple of hours of fun.
About all I care to admit is that the eye tracking and hand UI is very good. The rest we have seen before, admittedly less polished.
The worst part is a 2 hour life battery !
They want you to watch a movie on that thing!? Most movies are over 2 hours!
Can we use our voices to interact with Apple Vision Pro like Voice Control or Voice Command allows us to interact with our Macs?
Great review Bridget!! Yours was my favorite out of any of them. I think this headset is just the beginning of about a 5-10 year process before we get a viable consumer level product
I hope you can do custom eyes. "Hey Siri!", "Activate googly eyes!"
I would fully support this idea. Also, anime eyes, please.
Brilliant review, Bridget, you are CNET killer app 😊
Kudos to all the staff too 😉
price to what you get ratio?
If one video would ever make me not watch your channel, this is it. Great tone.
These glasses are the next iPhone moment. Sucks that she can’t see it yet!
We will all have future versions of the Apple vision air or max or pro, for some.
I can’t wait!
Buying 1 apple VR to watch movies together, nah, buy 7 Quest 3 for the same price to watch movies with the homies, maybe
Audio sync issue from 8:51
Great review btw
Really CNET? 34 minutes on the “cringe factor”? I expect more from you guys.
It is cringe. No actual public demos and not practical features.
Its a 11 minute video.
😂
The audio being out of sync made me laugh. It made Bridget come off a little uncanny valley.
I’m a dev. Why would I want to spend my time building something for this? The price means that virtually no one will have it.
Why would I spend my time developing for a $3,500 face worn laptop that so far is just a toy for rich people, when I could spend my time making something with a potential market audience of hundreds of thousands of people or millions of people?
The most successful Apple Vision Pro app may be found on 10,000 units. How much am I supposed to be selling this for to recoup my time!?
What will the non-pro model be like? Will it have the same hardware? Will it be capable of the same things? If I build something that pushes the system the app may fundamentally not be compatible with the next generation of hardware designed to sell to a larger audience.
Will be interesting to see what meta learns from this for their vr headsets
I saw an ad from Apple. Apple needs to stop using unattractive actors in videos. Especially women.
About the device: there are already other VR glasses in the world. Now they are useless. They are not needed. Plus makes headache, he makes vertigo.
Head Strap not included 🤫
Nahhh, that wouldn't make sense. But we know the headstrap is swappable, and company BandWerk is selling different color luxury leather bands for $159 USD.
Who cares if we are spending time with each other in a virtual world. The world isn't going to end just because we don't spend time in person but instead in a virtual world
8:49 audio/video desync right until the end?
So when this headset is available for demo at physical Apple stores, no one will want to try it out?
I think that is the real purpose of the Headset. I don’t think Apple expects is to be like iPhone in sales. It’s something to cause buzz and get more people to Apple Stores, where they may purchase other products or accessories.
The kicker is that Apple has a lot of baller users who will actually buy it. It may out sell all the head sets of Meta, Valve, and Microsoft combined.
Your points are valid, however, the attitude of this video shows a lack of understanding with VR. This headset is brand new, a new OS, and a year out. This was a showcase of the technology, which if you are familiar with the VR industry, is now the most capable and high tech. Most of the apps, games, and tools available in VR aren't made by those who make the hardware. Getting this headset out, with all of its capabilities, will allow developers to make some outstanding content, not to mention what this tech will do for other future apple devices. By the time this gets into everyday consumers' hands, there will likely be much more available on/with it, as well as likely other models and price points, as well as the tech integrating into the other products. Let's not forget the lag time of revolutionary technology. Computers and phones didn't become the norm in a single year, I expect the results of this wont fully be realized until years down the road. And if anyone standardizes new tech, it will be Apple.
Anyone else lose audio/video sync in the last quarter of the video?
The interface is the issue, not this early implementation. In five years we will all be using this interface. It will bear no more resemblance to this implementation than the iPhone 5 did to the first iPhone. I "cringe" at this naive video.
There are minor cringe things with this headset but this review is more cringe than anything. Sorry but being overtly negative is cringe. This is a preview and most likely not last press release, so I’m sure more will come out and maybe some changes. So some of your gripes might already have answers to before release. Like putting it on to take video. I want to assume you can use your phone and review later on headset. I think it’s a given to take pics and videos natively because of the cameras. Most cameras already have the ability to take 3D content….. As far as killer apps, they’re coming. That’s why the announcement is so early. They’re still working on it’s content. I’m not a developer but I have ideas that I did not see at WWDC, but utilizing that hardware makes my imagination run wild. I’m sure there are like minded developers who will go crazy with this. In short wait till late this year or early next……. I promise you the apps to come will be game and life changing.
I just want to point out that for less than $3,500 per person, you could actually *go* to Disney World...
Honestly, I was hoping for AR Spectacles. Glasses that look almost like normal glasses that could beam screens right into your eyes. That would have been the next smartphone. A smart phone you don't need to hold with screens larger than monitors, all in some smart glasses. This isn't the next iphone, it's just an Apple VR Headset.
Is no one gonna talk about how beautiful the reporter is?
Too much apple sheeps among us to understand all these cringe
But why couldn't anyone record themselves wearing the headset? When do you expect to sell the product to developers and consumers when no one can at least view how the product looks on a user outside of marketing? Is that the time when we compare Apple's headset to Meta.
It may be able to produce 360 degree videos on CZcams.
And yes! Steve jobs showed the product on the stage, with examples and all. Tim and apple.. cowards!
Great review and comments! It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Apple definitely created something worth criticizing.
This seems a little far out for me. I get them being used at home, but its going to be so weird if this becomes the norm and we start just walking around in vr and ar all the time
I love how everyone is talking about how this headset is missing a point or being cringy. While I still believe Apple’s whole point was to get everyone talking about it. 😅
I don't think this is a consumer device at the moment.
In my view, with the device, what can I do in a 3D space/desktop, that I currently can't do on a normal computer screen/keyboard/mouse?
in theory you could walk your home with it and it would scan your entire area (i assuming it has a Lidar scan like the Iphone). then you could have a 3d visualization of your house. if an app has access to that 3d mesh somehow (even if only for geometry) then it could generate an entire mix of experiences made specially for you. you could set the environment for achitectural purposes, reimagine how your room would like with other furniture. games where things happen inside the mesh of your room, where enemies avoid the walls for example. you could attach flat screens all over your house (inside the headset) so you dont need to watch tv only on your room, but in the yard, kitchen, etc. new media could be seen in 3d, or 360 and 3d (try watch a 360 vieo, its blured because of the resolution, but maybe with a 4k display gets another level of immersion)
if it can run photoshop, you could paint photos using your hands or maybe with special gloves you could sculpt 3d models. you could aniate things in 3d space by oonly using your hands (first pass) and refining later on pc. you could even animate characters if they allow other developers to make gloves and foot trackers, etc
simulate spatial audio of a show or event.. from a media/3d perspective this tech is amazing. Pricey, but amazing
With Apple’s Buy Now Pay Later service, you should be able to own the Vision Pro for about $149 a month for 24 months. Not unlike we bought iPhones from the carriers in the early days of iPhone.
With all of this technology in the headset, does it take away from the future technological advances developed for the iPhones, iPads and Desk/Lab top computers. Are they going to be forgotten devices?
