OP note: Big tech for good and bad will have access not only to what we google and our movement but also who we interact with and everything else. No more privacy! In a post Covid-19 time this will also remind folks about masks, etc. Only time will tell if this will be financially successful or not! Will this affect the escort business sooner or later?

Rod Hagen Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Guessing I would get too dizzy and/or headache. Nytimes review wasn't kind. PASS. :-) But if I were a gamer, I'd keep my eye on it for sure. marylander1940 and MikePDNA51 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topunderachiever Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If you knew anything about this dude, you'd pay attention to the hype. OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Altman considers Apple Vision Pro the second most impressive tech after the iPhone.

Interesting... adult content would be the greatest moneymaker for new technologies like this one. I guess they (Silicon Valley overlords) don't want more controversy now.

corndog Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Well, I was one of the first in line, and I've now been using it for about a week. This thing is glimpse of the future. There is a lot about it that is simply amazing, but it is definitely a "1.0" product, with its share of shortcomings and lots of room for improvement. I'm old enough to remember when the original Mac was introduced, and of course the iPhone. In both cases, there were many naysayers, but each of these ultimately changed the world. I'm pretty sure that the importance of this is on the same scale. Right out of the gate, there are already some questionable assumptions and misinformation. Let me address a couple of these...

No more privacy! That's a real concern, and, in my opinion, an issue I'd take very seriously with Meta/Facebook, Google, or Amazon. Their business models are all about monetizing the data they collect about you and your behavior. Although Apple builds their products with an eye toward locking you into their ecosystem, they take privacy very seriously and their success is based largely on maintain users' trust in those privacy safeguards. Although they get a lot of criticism for their "walled garden" approach, it largely prevents rogue developers from abusing users' privacy. I do some development work, and I can tell you first hand that the privacy-based limitations can be frustrating, and ultimately prevent some interesting possible applications. Apple severely restricts the information that applications can use. For example, a Vision Pro application can't tell what you're looking at until you actually interact with it, and can't directly access the cameras at all.

Generally, they won't allow porn apps on the App Store, but there are no restrictions on the content you can access through a web browser. PornHub, OnlyFans, Rentmen, you name it.

MikePDNA51 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Apple and Microsoft create a product that customers pay for, office365, word, MacBook Pro, iPhone, X-Box, cloud computing, and more. Facebook and Google do not make a physical product, revenue is based on selling data collected from users. I cannot afford the apple glasses/ headset but would try the device. How are apple glasses similar to iPhone? when first introduced iPhone was competing with Blackberry, both devices solid. Overtime iPhone surpassed Blackberry and other smart phones. Apple glasses might compete with a similar product from Facebook, SNAP, and Google, I do not purchase any of the three items. Is Apple glasses model: overtake competition, enter small market, and finally grow from owning a market segment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, of course and I agree…plenty of fun stuff available. My point was App Store apps for the Apple Vision product…interactive apps for the VR headset might not be as easy to get.

I wouldn't really call them 'early adopters.' They bought with the intention to return within the window. True early adopters are the people who take V1 products and endlessly use them and accepts the premium if using the product improves V2 efficiency, reduces cost and increases market penetration. A lot of the people returning the headset are those who just wanted immediate 'street cred' or had a fledgling tech blog. corndog, marylander1940, MikeBiDude and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bokomaru Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Run, don’t walk, to an Apple Store and try it out. Although it’s got a long, long way to go, it’s still mind blowing. Looking around at the moon as if you are actually there is itself worth the effort. Then there’s seeing a movie as though you’re in a theater, experiencing a 3D video as if you’re in the scene, and the possibilities of having virtual computer desktops of unlimited number, specific to the location where you leave them. My guess is that it will be at least 10 years before any broad adoption of this tech. Can’t wait. BSR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't really released that 'magic-like' product since Jobs died. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
