Huge VR fan here. I tried the demo in the Apple Store. It was cool and all, but nothing game changing. From a company like Apple - somewhat disappointing even. The technology just isn't there yet for a compelling product.
Apple should wait until they have this in a glasses form factor before hyping it up any more.
Yes. That's what Carmack said when he quit Oculus. The headgear has to get down to swim goggle size to get any traction, and eyeglass size to go mainstream.
Apple got it down from a brick on your head to a half-brick, but that's not good enough.
It doesn’t seem like they were even prioritizing size and weight. They made it out of heavy glass and aluminum, and sacrificed size to add the front-facing screen.
Ski goggles seem like existence proof that Vision Pro is only roughly 2x bigger than it needs to be for people to feel comfortable wearing it in public.
