Almost everyone I know (and people here on HN) thought this would be niche at $3500. But that doesn't mean people don't want to be plugged into screens. They totally are plugged into screens - just not Vision Pro.
- ghusto 2y ago> They totally are plugged into screens I've seen a backlash in recent years. Most notably amongst techies, ironically, but more recently in the general public. People are waking up.
- bee_rider 2y agoMaybe? I dunno. I’m tired of my current screens. But I want better ones. I want mass market e-ink monitor and a pair of VR glasses that look like actual glasses. We’re halfway to 2030, where’s the future? I’m still using a laptop, we’ve had those for decades, what gives?
- cableshaft 2y ago> a pair of VR glasses that look like actual glasses It's getting closer to that, but not quite there yet. There's Bigscreen Beyond out already, and the Immersed Visor is coming up, and they're a lot closer to that than Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro to glasses (but also either less powerful and/or more expensive). https://www.bigscreenvr.com/ https://www.bigscreenvr.com/ https://mixed-news.com/en/immersed-visor-next-gen-xr-headset-is-unique/ https://mixed-news.com/en/immersed-visor-next-gen-xr-headset...
