They literally had hands on demos for journalists after the event...
- paxys 3y agoYet not a single one of them was allowed to even take a picture of themselves wearing one. Why was that?
- detourdog 3y agoWhy is that significant? This seems like exactly what Apple would do.
- PavleMiha 3y agoSpeculating, but Apple wanted to make sure that the only people photographed using the headset were models and actors who are very attractive. That way whenever a news outlet runs a story about it, they have to use the picture of the attractive/cool people using it, and people make an association that the headset makes people attractive/cool.
- gruez 3y agoSurely there are attractive/cool looking journalists?
- mcpackieh 3y agoTelling journalists that their young colleague is allowed to have their picture taken but they cannot because they're too old and frumpy doesn't sound like a good way to get positive coverage for your product. Easier to forbid pictures of anybody using it than to make a policy of judging journalists by their physical appearance.

For controlling avatars viewed in a virtual mirror I think I read they gave you an avatar of someone else to control. If the passthrough eyes were available, clickbait journalism would also probably do things like intentionally cross their eyes and get a goofy look on it, then write and article about how the headset will make you look extra goofy.
