Apple's screens each have 5x more pixels per inch. That is significant for a headset designed to be used for work.

- wkat4242 3y agoApple's not really pitching it as a work device though. Their marketing is very consumer focused.
- jitl 3y agoThere was a fair bit of work stuff in the announcement; I personally am primarily interested in Vision Pro as a monitor replacement. Furthermore I’ve talked to someone who’s used it a few times and they see it’s two use cases as content consumption (like 3D video / experience, not so much gaming) and content authoring (3D/VR video, architecture, and desktop monitor use case)
- _neil 3y agoIs it? I remember a lot of the launch video being depicted in an office or studio environment, aside from the dad taking 3d photos of his kids.
- ShamelessC 3y agoThe opposite is true, actually.
- mhh__ 3y agoI'd imagine the bulk of the sales at that price point will be people or companies justifying it as a work expense.
- jb1991 3y agoIt would seem you have not actually seen the marketing before commenting on it.
- jwells89 3y agoIt’s my belief that very high pixel density (and the GPU power to drive it) becoming cheap is going to be one of the factors that proves crucial to taking AR goggles/glasses/etc mainstream. The densities that’ve been economical thus far don’t cut it.
- drewg123 3y agoI bought a pair of the xreal air glasses about 6 months ago, with the intention of using them to code. However, the pixel density is so low that text looks seriously janky, and I don't use them for code. My backup use was to hook them to my iPhone & use them to watch netflix / appletv, etc, on a plane. However, that doesn't work as they don't support hdcp. So the only thing I can watch is non-DRMed video that I record myself. Sigh.
- cassianoleal 3y agoI have an Air 2 Pro. Last month I took it on a plane where I used it to watch Netflix on the iPhone and play games on the Steam Deck. I have an iPhone 15 Pro which uses USB-C. I wonder if that’s what allows it to work.

- drewg123 3y agoYes, I use the Apple MD826 / MD826ZMA Lightning to HDMI Adaptor & their XREAL Air Adapter. Is that what's not hdcp compliant?
- tmikaeld 3y agoYes

- charcircuit 3y agoApple's headset will have a significantly higher field of view so comparing PPI doesn't mean much
