What’s new and advanced about this? Hasn’t it all already existed in some form? It’s just been Apple-ified, no? It’s just a VR headset, an actual AR headset is something like HoloLens.
Beyond the tech, who is even the target audience for this? I only see it as a gimmick, one for just Apple geeks to buy. One of the reasons 3DTV’s failed is because nobody wanted to wear the glasses, so why would anyone want to strap this to their face just to do something they already do or could do on their TV/computer/phone?
You can already pretty much do everything this can with an existing VR headset in one way or another, for a lot cheaper.
It’s a bizzare product.
The specs are cool, it’s a lot of neat modern hardware in a small form factor, but that’s what Apple does, take existing tech, make it Apple and market the shit out of it like it’s some insane revolutionary thing you should care about. “Retina displays” “titanium phone” etc, it’s their whole thing and they are very very good at it.
There are OLED VR headsets, PlayStation’s is and there’s a couple niche ones and they are not even close to $3500. Admittedly not quite the same resolution as the Vision Pro, but other Micro OLED headsets are probably not far away (if deemed worthwhile, the main barrier of entry for VR right now is price), the technology was always for smaller displays as the wafers needed aren’t widely made as the focus tends to be on much larger displays.
