Comment on Apple Vision Pro from a Young Earth Creationist's View
Rooki@lemmy.world 4 months agoSo literally like any other VR headset, but for less money. For 3.5k you can buy a great pc AND a vr headset.
If you watch some reviews, there’s nothing else like it on the consumer market. It really does look like Apple have made a generational leap forwards with this thing.
But I’m not buying it. I’ll buy one of the inevitable competitors, after a generation or three, because I also have no interest in joining the Apple ecosystem. I like having control over my devices too much for that.
Same for the reason, i dont say its not innovative combining vr and ar, but the closed ecosystem will kill it in the end.
the closed ecosystem will kill it in the end.
People have said this about every Apple product. They continue to thrive.
We are in a very specific bubble here on Lemmy. And in the Lemmy bubble, yeah, Apple products will never be the most popular.
But the average consumer could not possibly care less about “closed ecosystems.” They want a device that works smoothly and looks nice.
Thrive? The only thing i see is an cash grabs from big corporations.
Oh no, in order to play Mac games on the headset (on a simulated flat screen) you need to connect a compatible Mac with enough horsepower to run a game in 4k. So it’s 3.5k for the headset and another 2k for the “gaming” Mac

the Vision Pro is a PC and VR headset. well, a Mac and a VR headset.
it’s a standalone device, not an accessory like other VR headsets.

It’s an iPad inside a VR headset that can show a remote desktop (single monitor) from a Mac automagically without too much friction if the user is logged in with the same apple id. Cool but not $3500 cool
