"Don't blow the candles yet! I need to grab my VISION PRO"

• Longhanks 3y ago
  To be fair, that is already the case with "I need to grab my phone", which is equally wrong, imho. But a lot of people don’t see it that way.

    This is where there's a notable disparity in this new product. "I need to grab my phone" behavior isn't any different than what people did with cameras for decades before that. The thing that changed is the technology became much more available, pervasive, and convenient. The use cases were immediately apparent and unlike this device, nobody was scratching their head around how they might actually use it in practice.

    Would it be equally wrong if they said "camera" instead?

    Really, what we need is a little 360 spatial drone that records important events like birthdays and what not and then you can relive them on a device like the Vision Pro. That's the best of both worlds and I think that's where things will head eventually. I think Google or Amazon or someone has made a security camera drone that flies around your house so it can't be far off.

      Interesting, eliminate the drone part and that actually makes sense. Have a few very high resolution cameras at a distance, and you could NeRF a similar view unobtrusively.

    On the contrary, it would be wrong for a parent to not pause a special moment to take a picture. Sure, memories are great, but I have scant memories of my early years. Whatever memories I do have are tied to the rare few pictures my family took. I cherish them because they're a little time travel capsule. When my child is 35, I'd much rather give him high quality images of his 4th birthday instead of asking him to rely on the memorization capabilities of his still-forming brain.

      Agree. My children love watching back videos of various events. The equivalent from my childhood was the occasional photo or very long-winded and boring home videos taken with a giant shoulder-mounted camera saving to VHS tape in a shoulder-slung module - maximum effort for meagre results!

  This is the new version of parents holding phones up in front of their faces to record moments. Now generations of kids will grow up staring at their parents' eyes through a VISION PRO instead of seeing the back of a phone in front of their face. Progress?
  • quickthrower2 3y ago
    The trick with a phone is recording while holding at chest level and keeping it still pointing at the subject while you still enjoy the moment.

    Which was the new version of parents fiddling with bulky camcorders as they squint through the eyepiece to record moments.

    > Now generations of kids will grow up staring at their parents' eyes through a VISION PRO Not at this price point.

  It's the equivalent of people going around and taking photos with an iPad.

    Can't wait to see these at high school graduations
