It's great. It is the future, it just needs to be lighter. It's actually relatively small, but it's heavy. Once it's as heavy as actual ski googles and has all day battery I'll drop the phone.
- neofrommatrix 3y ago“I’ll drop the phone” is a pretty big statement. I wonder how eyesight will be impacted. Will more people get myopia because of Apple Vision Pro..?
- endisneigh 3y agowhy would they? you can present the "virtual" items to appear far from you, a similar distance that you would hold your phone.
- throw310822 3y agoIsn't everything on the same focal plane?
- endisneigh 3y agoI only used in store but the software seems to have some way of tricking your eyes, but no macro or anything like that.
- throw310822 3y agoSince it has eye tracking, it could hypothetically blur objects at different distances to give a stronger impression of depth. I have no idea if this is done, feasible in practice, or completely impossible and would cause your eyeballs to explode.
- drodgers 3y agoYes, but VR headsets tend to focus everything at infinity, which is the most relaxed position for your eyes (and the opposite of starting at a nearby screen all day).
- superconduct123 3y agoSo if you want to quickly check/reply to a notification you'd pull out ski goggles, put them on, then take them off?
- endisneigh 3y agoNo, I’d keep them on all of the time. They would be like AirPods. I’d only take them off in particular situations. In my case I bike a lot so they’d be doubly useful assuming latency is very low.
- kypro 3y agoIt would need to be extremely reliable also. Imagine crossing the road and your vision just randomly freezes. I'd assume it would be so disorienting that you'd immediately lose balance and fall over. People may get seriously injured if they're actually wearing these things all the time. Even if they're 100% reliable you could imagine someone getting a low battery warning running down stairs to fetch their charing cable only for their vision to shut off as they're running down the stairs...
- solardev 3y agoHaving a safety HUD, like in a fighter jet but on a bike, would be pretty cool. It can warn me about cars I missed, or someone about to open a door, or a turn I'm about to miss. Or, you know, this being the shitty dystopia we deserve, probably it'd just advertise the nearest McDonald's.
- endisneigh 3y ago100% agree. Apple actually says a few times during the setup not to use it outside. Even if small and light I doubt that they’d ever change that messaging.
- interbased 3y agoComparing them to AirPods really painted the picture for me. In that case, I feel they'd have to be smaller, or at least lighter. I haven't tried it so I can't say that with certainty but this is probably the start of something very interesting. It's basically a wearable.
- hnthrowaway0328 3y agoWhat improvement does it bring? I actually hope it can argument my ordinary life but that probably depends more on software.
- endisneigh 3y agoRight now, not much. But I imagine it being pretty neat. You should go to the Apple Store and check it out. The ability to pin menus at locations is actually really cool. I see why it’s called spatial computing
- hnthrowaway0328 3y agoThanks. I just can't imagine wearing this all day on my head. It needs to be smaller, lighter and ideally as an extra pair of glasses. And also cheaper. Other than that it needs a lot of good softwares. I have a lot of usages I can think of from top of my head.
- endisneigh 3y agoYes it needs a lot of work to be something you have on all the time. Totally agreed. I’d say by 2050 for sure.
