    assuming you’re cool with being fairly isolated in your experience

    I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be cool with that… but for me most of the times that I’m watching a movie it’s with my partner, it would be rare to sit down to watch a whole movie on my own except when i’m traveling

    Although the part of the video where they showed it being used on a plane? I mean… yeah might look weird… but being able to tune out the rest of the enviroment and isolate yourself? That does sound pretty amazing.

      I did find it a bit funny when they mentioned something along the lines of, “Look how many devices this one device can replace, such as your TV, and monitors, etc,” which is true to a point… If you are the only one who actually uses those things. I have a wife and two children, and a nephew who frequently comes over to watch TV. If we all wanted to sit down and watch a Movie together with this experience, I would have to shell out $18k. 🥴

        On the other hand, for single folks like me it seems worthwhile. I game on a 4K projector that costs $3000, I also used to have a 49" ultrawide monitor which I sold off recently cause I was using my projector more, so at least for me, Apple’s headset could replace a bunch of my costly gadgets - assuming it has video inputs of course (not sure if it does, haven’t seen any mentions of it).
