Apple Vision Pro launched at WWDC over a week ago and they showed a lot of clips of normal people wearing it doing (relatively) normal things, like cooking, watching movies, even working at the office.
One clip that really intrigued me was the one where a father was recording his kids in 3D through his Vision Pro. To me, this seemed off at first since to other people, it may not look like you’re present in the moment. But after thinking about it for a while, isn’t it the same as just wearing sunglasses, if not better? Sunglasses block your eyes, but Vision Pro would show your eyes to the outside world.
So I guess the question is, will Apple Vision Pro and subsequent products become widely socially acceptable one day?
Do you have to jailbreak an iphone to watch porn on it today? And while there are many totally valid criticisms one could put against Apple, making “crap” products is definitely not one of them. Overpriced? Sure. Overhyped? Generally, yeah. But with a few fluke-ish exceptions over the years, they’ve built a solid reputation for quality.
That being said, their Gen 1’s are usually underwhelming. The first iphone didn’t have “apps”, the first apple watch was bulky and “meh”, the first airpods were actually really good, but the Airpod Pros were a mile ahead. If I were in the market for a new AR/VR headset, I’d be waiting to see what the Gen 2 version looks like
