I could see major potential in the fitness space, paired with Apple Watch + Fitness+... I could see potential use cases in education (think surgery simulator etc...). I could see some developers using it as an alternative to their monitors. I think there are plenty of places outside of gaming where a device like this, done right (comfortable) could carve out a segment. Plenty of people pay thousands of dollars for an exercise bike with a screen attached to it.
- etempleton 4y agoAre you gonna want to get all sweaty in a 3 grand headset?
- heisenzombie 4y agoI’ve heard people bring up fitness, but the physical experience of sweating with a headset strapped to my face sounds unpleasant. It also turns the product into “gym equipment”. Is it waterproof? Can I give it a good wash in the sink and dry it? Or am I putting it on later with it soaked in cold sweat? How’s it going to smell after a couple of weeks?
- j2bax 4y agoAll of their other wearables and phones are waterproof at this point, why wouldn't this one be? Rinse it off in the sink when you are done!
- bredren 4y agoHave you worked out in Supernatural on oculus? Go back over old threads here where people describe it as life changing. I used supernatural for many months, and yes it does get sweaty—-you have to wear awkward vr sweatbands. But the experience is like no other exercise I’ve tried. The reporting about the meta acquisition of this company is all off. This is a major market, and it doesn’t really matter if it is $3k if it gets people to enjoy exercise. People spend vast amounts of money on fitness equipment. This would be just one use case for the product, but a perfect fit for apple’s ecosystem.
