- thephyber 3y agoLOL. This comment rhymes with Steve Ballmer talking about the iPhone circus 2008. If the market likes the headset, there’s no reason it has to be limited to 100k units. Figure out how to make an average office employee 10% more effective and it pays for itself quickly.

- shmoogy 3y agoI don't think so - solidifying yourself as the first / best app in the new ecosystem can be absolutely worth it. Until Apple takes your app and includes it as a native functionality like those journal apps that are done come iOS 17.

- theshrike79 3y agoAll you need is something like the Avatar 3 production buying a 1000 of these so they can show the previz live for everyone on the greenscreen set.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoidk how that's relevant
- thephyber 3y agoThe Vision Pro claims it can scan a face/person and use the digitized likeness as an avatar. No need for an “Avatar 3” — it is fast and relatively cheap compared to the hardware that movie / video game productions already use.
