This product isn't in the public's hands yet, so I think it's a bit early to conclude that it's categorically creepy. But even if it ends up being a bit creepy, a) I think Apple is well aware of that and b) again I think this highlights how important they think it is to send the message from day 1 that solving for isolation is a top priority and intrinsic to their end-goal.

> This product isn't in the public's hands yet, so I think it's a bit early to conclude that it's categorically creepy I was just going by the materials that Apple has released. It's true that I haven't personally seen the device in action in real life. But what Apple has shown certainly triggers a "creepy factor" in me. Whether or not this is an issue for many people, and whether or not Apple will address it, isn't really relevant. What I've seen right now creeps me out a bit.

  > Whether or not this is an issue for many people, and whether or not Apple will address it, isn't really relevant Why/how is this not relevant in a broader sense? Or are you just saying this isn’t relevant to you personally?

    Yes, to me, personally. I should have made that more clear. Sorry.

      Makes more sense and thanks for clarifying.

Pretty much everyone I have spoken to about the thing has been like “that’s fucking creepy”. A few have hoped you can display something else on it - like cat eyes or something to make it less fucking weird.

  Face filters in video were considered extremely creepy 3 years ago.

When google glass came out, there was the question of if you want to talk to someone who has a camera running at all times, (recording?). Its weird how perspective shifts. Of course in some places if its recording all the time it might be in some weird wire taping situation.

  Google is also in the market of using every bit of data it can possibly record of you to show you ads.

    It's a shame I don't trust Apple not to do the same anymore. If the advertisement creep into MacOS is any indication, the Vision Pro might have more pop-ups than the Quest.
