I see this as a huge declaration of war.
Apple has been pushing in this area silently for years now with their industry leading LiDAR miniaturization and AR kit being used by many devs to actually ship augmented experiences.
While , here we have the CEO of Facebook coming out with an “Imagine . . “ line on half baked hardware and badly rendered experiences in a live stream.
I’m going to love watching Apple take a sledgehammer to these pipe dreams

- lalos 5y agoIt also felt to me like vaporware, just a bunch of promises and no product or no real announcement. Apple on the other side is just quiet and opens up once it has something to sell. Then again FB is an ad company so this is what they know best, marketing.
- DisjointedHunt 5y agoHahah, precisely. "Imagine, you put on your headset and are in your home space" . . i cringed so hard. I've been very critical of Apple on here, but i take my hat off to their dedication in shipping technology that no other company comes close to be able to ship. Globally, at consistent quality. Outside of the US, buying an Xbox sucks, buying any hardware from Google or Facebook is a gamble (I tried, portal and Chromecast from official stores for relatives) and Apple is the only company that seems to delight. I hated the keynote from Facebook yesterday, i can't believe they had the arrogance to think anyone outside of their offices would give a fuck about their fantasies and that there was ZERO substance.
