Apple has a huge SoC advantage over Facebook here, especially in tandem with their massive Pro/Ultra GPUs if they can be tethered to a Mac.
There were even rumors of a dedicated gpu die for VR... which I do not have a citation for.
They also have an ecosystem advantage. Going by Horizon World's development, Meta knows nothing about what makes virtual environments in video games fun, and not enough of an ecosystem to hit a 3rd party cricital mass. But Apple has a decent pile of good iOS devs.
- mark_l_watson 4y agoI agree with your SoC assessment, and while I love my Apple gear, I am skeptical of Apple's VR/AR success for the consumer market. For the Pro market? I don't know. I think of my Oculus (I have versions 1 and 2) as the 'perfect toy.' Both versions were cheap, and I have spent about $100 on a few programs, and it is something that I play with for about 10 minutes almost every day. So very much worth the money.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoThe issue is a $100 toy running free programs is not worth the development investment, even for a tech giant with cash to burn like Facebook. TBH I am not an Apple fan, as I dont like the closed ecosystem, but I think its pretty compelling for luxury and business VR.
