My bet would be completely the opposite. No matter how good these devices get they lack in input bandwidth. My keyboard beats all VR , and it seems to easily beat apple's VR too. The headset is clearly targeted to static environments, entertainment. The apps are like ipad apps, looking cute but when people want to do serious work fast, they use a laptop because it has a keyboard. It is overengineered. There are a lot of gimmicks in the device like the 3d avatars which imho are worse than simple zoom chats. We are humans, we like faces. And the (mandatorily positive) reviews from people who used it are not hinting to this new era of computing.
I see this as an early-era Tesla car, but without the long term prospect. A lot of people will buy it because it is expensive. It's something that happens with most apple products
- vlovich123 3y agoYour keyboard works just fine in VR. What’s the problem? I think a real display replacement (in terms of shrinking down your monitor/TV to something you can trivially carry around with you) seems like a real use case.
- seydor 3y agoit doesnt exactly work as a screen replacement because it is stricly personal. Good for using in airplanes and maybe when alone but like other VR glasses, it doesnt fit well in other circumstances
- elcomet 3y agoYou'll certainly be able to share screen with others later.
- WorldMaker 3y agoNot even necessarily "later". They showed that the visionOS already supports existing Continuity and SharePlay functionality in iOS/iPadOS applications, which are features already built for sharing views of the same apps across devices and/or between people. It's somewhat limited which applications support those APIs today, but it is still an interesting amount more than "nothing". (ETA: That seemed a subtle theme across the WWDC keynote to me, as increased SharePlay support in first-party apps and select third-party partners was many of the things they demoed across the iOS, iPadOS, Car Play, and macOS updates.)
- greedo 3y agoMost people don't share their laptop or desktop screen.
- cpuguy83 3y agoOculus will even project your actual keyboard into the vr env... provided it's a model they have on file.
- Geee 3y agoYou can see your keyboard and you can use it just fine. You can also use other devices, like your phone and watch. You can even use your laptop and mirror the screen into a bigger one.
- drexlspivey 3y agoI imagine that in a couple of iterations you will be able to type in an imaginary keyboard and it will pick up the correct keystrokes
