Honestly, it really doesn't seem different at all.
AR is also where other notable headset makers are betting, Quest has had hand controls for quite a while (which made the "clunky controllers" dig fall flat).
It definitely seems more refined, but then again, it's over 2x the cost of the competition, so that would have to be taken as read.
- steveoscaro 3y agoThe Quest is not AR focused in the least, it's pure VR. And the hand tracking is clunky. This looks like a very different experience in general.
- IAmGraydon 3y agoI guess you missed the Quest 3 announcement last week. It's all about AR and it's $500. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAhce2OgZu4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAhce2OgZu4
- ChildOfChaos 3y agoThere is really no comparison between the Apple device and what Meta announced, the devices are quite different. Even when Apple showed games, it was less full AR games or like VR experiences in AR, it was about putting a screen up and playing a standard game like this. The Apple experience is full VR and using every space as a screen to access the things you already do. Meta is insisting on building the 'metaverse' it's a completely different concept that people making this argument seem to have completely missed. And I say that as someone that uses a Q1 everyday for Fitness and will be purchasing a Q3, you saw Apple announce nothing like this, also I think the name is a give away 'vision pro' it's about visuals and virtual screens, not about creating another reality, which is likely why they moved away from the reality pro name that was rumoured.
- steveoscaro 3y agoI did indeed miss that announcement haha
