"Apple's new VR Headset" not so much. It seems very much to be an AR headset. As a person who uses VR daily, I was curious if it would move VR forward, but it seems unrelated. Maybe one day they'll address tracking of peripherals such as is used for full body tracking and gaming, but for now it looks like just a virtual desktop & movie platform, which is fine since the competition doesn't do those particularly well, but time will tell if the difference is groundbreaking or just iterative. I do dream of a day when I don't need a monitor anymore, but unless their specs are out if this world, we're probably at least 5 years away.
