What do you think about Apple's new headset?

Apple finally dropped the rumoured headset it's been working on at yesterday's WWDC. It's called the Vision Pro and it will sell for just about $3500. I thought it looked super impressive at the event, but it seems like the ship has kind of sailed in the whole virtual / augmented headset especially if you're entering at that price point, I'm probably wrong though.

I did a short post on this on linked in. It's not aimed at the mass market nor retail at a $3500 price tag
I don't think you are wrong. At this price point, it may not work out at scale.
it's not just the price it's the HMD form factor that's the problem. People don't even like to wear regular glasses and headphones.
that's true.
I'm really hoping that future iterations will take a Mac-like approach to meeting different technical needs and pricepoints (Mini, Pro, Studio etc.). Also really hoping that it lives up to the claims that the R1 chip will tackle motion sickness, that's one of the biggest blockers for me with the original Quest I've got, I get the worst headaches 🫠
To be honest, I didn`t like the design of the device, it does not seem to me "ahead of its time", although usually Apple surprises us with the design of its new products. however, I believe that the next generations of it will be much more advanced
I think it will be nothing new than what we have already seen with oculus or any vr. Yes, it would be way better, way comfortable, but there is a problem: our culture is still not ready for a vr product into its life.
I think it's beautiful. I just don't think I'd use it. I have an oculus for 2 years now and I've used it a total of 5 times.
I think its still too early for AR/VR. I do not want to walk around like a Robocop
I would like to see some research on how it would impact to our eyes/vision. More harmful than digital screens or less, not sure yet).
Scariest technology I've ever seen. Looks like we are very close to things happening in Black Mirror.
Definitely starting to feel more and more like Black Mirror daily. The easier it is for people to adopt these as they get smaller and cheaper is going to be interesting. The same questions continue to appear .. how will this change our self perception/sense of personhood if we can change our virtual bodies to whatever we want? How will it change our perception of space if, for instance, we can make non Euclidean VR environments that don’t conform to traditional laws of geometry? How will it change our perception of time? What about our sense of ‘being there’ .. will we start to consider VR the same as reality? I’m not the first to pose these questions by any means but they continue to be important to check in on as we continue to develop this tech.
