Is the Vision Pro for watching movies? Working? Being alone? Collaborating? Nobody knows, really.

Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought::Is the Vision Pro for watching movies? Working? Being alone? Collaborating? Nobody knows, really, writes John Herrman.

VR has been a thing for years now and has been getting cheaper over time. I’ve had no interest in using it whatsoever. Clearly the thing that needed to change was for it to get MORE expensive. Thanks Apple! Always giving the customer what they didn’t know they wanted!

I had a go on a VR helmet and thought it was kind of fun, but at the moment the options seem to be an affordable one that’s infested with Facebook nonsense, or the Valve/Apple ones which are presumably less intrusive but cost a fortune. So I’m fine to just do without until someone figures out how to do it in a cheap, open-source kind of way, like the raspberry pi of VR helmets.

That might not even be possible, but in that case I’m also fine to just do without TBH.

I’ve been following Relativty for a bit now. It might be up your alley.

Hmm, I have a soldering iron and a 3D printer. You might be right. Thanks for the link!

I need the tech to get way further before I seriously consider it. Give me proper AR in glasses that aren’t significantly larger than the ones on my face right now and I’ll be listening intently.

On the VR front I still also haven’t found productive uses, I just don’t need it for work and while I did think some of the games were fun not enough to justify getting one when I can already game on Xbox or PC…

I’m struggling to figure it out and I didn’t have to spend $3,500… :)

Imagine thinking you need to be more online, not less.

If you can’t use it for porn, why bother.

I mean you can say whatever you want I can’t believe that thing can run a video editor with 4k+ footage.

First thing I’d do is put two half ping pong balls over my eyes to mess with eye display feature, then I’d get rid… Not like I can play dcs with it anyway
