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?
I think if anybody can get VR to be adopted by the masses it would be Apple. However, at this price I just don’t think it’s possible for the majority of people, even Apple Fanboys, to be able to afford.
If they had released this for $1500 I think that price point would be a lot more enticing for people, especially those who haven’t tried VR before.
It’s a good point. Apple does tend to be a master of product design and marketing if not always the technological leader.
Given that they market it as a “Pro” model, I foresee a “Base” model in the medium-near future.
I think the Pro is here to get people excited, get it in the hands of the small slice of folks who can afford it - let them tell everyone else how amazing it is, then when they release a model for “only” $1k-2k, people will be a lot more inclined to pick one up
Just a guess, but it seems to fit
