I'm losing my mind over this Apple Vision Pro. After all these years of hype and rumour and delays and THIS is what they have to show as their big new device on par in importance with the original iPhone. A glorified Quest 2 with no controllers and no games. I am fucking stunned. I thought at MINIMUM it would be a cool luxury device with some funny quirky features that ultimately aren't particularly useful and not a device for me, but it can't even manage that. They showed NOTHING. What the fuck can this thing do that a Quest 2 can't? You can use it as a display for your Macbook? You can do videocalls where you are represented as a 3d avatar? Like holy shit. Normies aren't going to give a shit because they showed NOTHING cool or innovative or interesting. VR already has a stigma and everyone is familiar with the concept of portable VR, so spending half of your presentation showing someone sitting alone in a room looking at fucking 2d photographs isn't going to get anyone excited or invested in your product.
Have they lost the plot? The presentation before the reveal was also pretty garbage, spending like 5 minutes talking about showing photos when people call you and SCREENSAVERS. The only cool thing they showed at all was when they picked a 'live' photo and instantly turned it into a sticker, which magically removed the background from it.
The fucking headset doesn't even have haptics. Or ANY games that aren't flatgames. The Disney portion was just showing concepts that 'could' be done, like all the same shit we've seen before with second screens and companion apps.
The price was largely irrelevant to my reaction but having the balls to announce it at $3.5k, after showing so little, is crazy. Nothing interesting from a VR perspective, nothing interesting from an AR perspective. Nothing innovative, nothing cool. Nothing. At minimum, show us something cool with hand tracking. ANYTHING
