Stop wearing Vision Pro goggles while driving your Tesla: U.S. transportation officials, Calif. police::Videos, many of them stunts or jokes, of people wearing Apple’s new virtual reality headset while driving Teslas in Autopilot mode prompted officials to issue warnings.
Stop saying Jesus wept
Why
I wonder if your downvoters know that this was a line from the episode
Give me money for my church
World’s within worlds!
Speculating on the vastness of the universe, Alexander wept. Asked why, he replied Is it not worthy of tears, that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we have not yet become lords of a single one?
First we had the Glassholes, now there’s Prolapses.
So there was a guy in the “viral video” thread yesterday fighting tooth and nail for how harmful the video is even if it’s staged, mainly on the premise thats bunch of people would copy and recreate it. They were getting downvoted to oblivion.
Here we are a day later.
They were getting downvoted to oblivion.
Downvotes are a fucking curse. They were never meant for disagreement. They’ve just turned into low-effort echo-chamber creators.
Ironically, I’ve been downvoted for saying this in response to somebody sympathizing with my previous downvoted comment that was expanding in support of somebody’s highly upvoted comment with some background.
I think the general sentiment on Lemmy is that any comment reply must surely be in disagreement and receives an automatic downvote. Mostly I visit the comments for discourse and upvote interesting threads of conversation.
In my opinion, really there should be no downvote button.
I rarely downvote. If I disagree with someone that means no up vote most times. Downvote should be limited to spam, harmful or completely irrelevant.
I’ve been downvoted to oblivion before just because I don’t agree with the hive mind. That to me is scary and people should be concerned that’s even a thing.
I prefer to have downvotes because they give you a better picture than, say, upvotes only.
Comments in an upvote-only system will still float to the top. And now we don’t know how many people disagreed (HA!) with them.
Yup. The amount of times I saw a comment that was downvoted to oblivion for containing a shred of nuance and that required the most minute sliver of time’s worth of critical thinking getting downvoted unjustly boggles the brain. Downvotes are literally contagious for probably 50%-60% of users. When a few downvoted roll in to something slightly nuanced, the already small likelihood that people could engage with the nuance drops to absolute zero and the downvotes just keep piling up. Says quite a lot.
I expect nothing less from Tesla drivers
Better yet, stop driving Tesla.
How can people be so stupid… At least, a VR headset is easy spottable by police and those bastards can be removed from the streets.
Dante Lentini, 21, who posted a video of himself behind the wheel of a moving Tesla while wearing a Vision Pro headset, said in an interview, “It was all just for content.”
Well, maybe when they revoke their licence they can tell them "it was all just for other people's safety".
It’s just a prank content bro!
it’s basically just hololens right?
also visionos is not the first “spatial os”, windows 10 was the first. (ever notice how stuff has circular glow effect around it? it’s supposed to show up around the pointer while using the os in vr/ar
Hololens is slightly more advanced. At least the last I saw it uses waveguides etc. to overlay the content over a transparent panel. Much like Google glasses, but way, way more advanced (and therefore justifiably expensive). AVP is no different to a $300 Quest (plus internal cameras for iris and expression tracking) - it’s 10x Apple tax.
Hololens is still alive and kicking btw, but it’s exclusively enterprise.
HoloLens 2 was supposed to cost 3500$
also there were cheaper hololens-compatible headsets made by third parties at the time (not anymore)
Microsoft should have stuck with HoloLens
Do you fucking job and then maybe I’ll stop wearing Vision Pro goggles while driving my Tesla.
For once, I agree with California
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Videos being shared across social media this week depict an almost dystopian, futuristic scene: drivers of Teslas in Autopilot mode while wearing Apple Vision Pro headsets, seemingly unaware of the road in front of them.
The new goggles have a feature that merges digital apps and one’s surroundings into one immersive space, and videos of people wearing them in strange settings have started to crop up across the internet since they were released on Feb. 2.
Dante Lentini, 21, who posted a video of himself behind the wheel of a moving Tesla while wearing a Vision Pro headset, said in an interview, “It was all just for content.”
Across social media, videos and images have circulated not just of people driving while wearing the Vision Pro headset, but also while dining at restaurants and working out at the gym.
Eric Decker, a YouTube and TikTok creator who goes by the name Airrack, posted a video poking fun at an “average day for an Apple Vision Pro owner,” showing him wearing the headset while lifting weights at the gym, getting his hair cut, going through airport security, walking down a street and even showering.
Apple has billed Vision Pro as a “spatial computing” device that allows users to watch videos, send emails and surf the internet in a immersive virtual reality.

I thought that was Xander from Buffy at first.

Isn’t this just AR? We’ve had that for years. Or is it somehow different from existing AR?
Benaaasaaas@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Ah, you seem to have made a rookie mistake, poor people are using AR, apple users are using spatial computing
Dran_Arcana@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It is ~slightly~ different, but in a way that’s worse.
AR uses a transparent overlay over reality perceived through a translucent surface, or at most a small subset of your vision is replaced. Think sunglasses with a screen you can see through, or a small corner of your vision is blocked by a tiny screen.
In Apple’s “special computing” cameras recreate and alter reality, nothing you see is with your own eyes because no part of the display is transparent.
ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Oh shit I don’t want to be a poor people I need to get something with spatial computing!

Be real, it is spatial pornography.

AR just means augmented reality, it says nothing of how it should be implemented
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 months ago
It’s pretty good AR from what I hear but still AR.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 9 months ago
pretty good VR - all of the user’s field of vision is digitally (re-)created.
snek@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I watched some reviews about it. Yes, it’s basically like having an iPad screen taped to your eyes.

AR of that visual quality has required the user to be stationary and tied to a large computer.
