I do think the HoloLens like Simon mentioned is a close product, but it's also $3500 and has been criticized for many shortcomings lol I mean you did ask for the closest thing and that's only one example. The 3.5k pricetag is braindead though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adammmm 983 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 It's definitely meant for developers/enthusiasts at this point. There won't be that many apps (besides OEM Apple apps) that work with it out of the box and (like any 1st gen product) will have kinks/bugs that need to be worked out. Notice how this is called Vision Pro, I'm sure we'll get an "SE"/Apple Vision (non pro) version once they settle into the AR/VR market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVersace 9,307 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I mean....I can see this being a common piece of tech we own in a few years. For me, the draw would be consuming videos, which I think would be a sick experience. But the price tag isn't justifiable. They need to make a more streamlined, portable, less expensive version for this to take off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're planning a "mainstream" version in the next year apparently, this seems to be a dev model that will be used to build on the platform.

Nemo 4,414 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 6 hours ago, Mother of Puppies said: Not only are we all starring at screens 24/7, now we'll also wear glasses with screens. Eye doctors will soon be the new dentists $$$ They don't dwell on it, but this kind of device could actually help with eyestrain. The way that it allows you to place things, including text, anywhere in virtual 3D space, means that your eyes will focus on that virtual location, instead of on a small screen held close to your face. You can make the letters (random numbers here) six feet tall and twenty feet away -- effectively the same size as small, close text, but with your eyes relaxed. Actually I wonder how that will interact with people who normally (or only sometimes) wear glasses -- is there room for them under the mask? Or will it somehow compensate, and render them unnecessary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fame Monster 4,554 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's definitely impressive technology, and from what I saw in Apple's presentation yesterday, the interface looks really nice. I would love to try them out, and for example, try to watch a movie with them. But if I owned one, I would have concerns about managing my usage and not getting too absorbed in them. The increasing presence of such advanced technology in our lives can sometimes lead to a decline in physical activity, mental health issues, and a diminished appreciation for the real world. Imagine if in the future, maybe 10 to 20 years from now, wealthy elderly individuals who have limited mobility could potentially spend the remainder of their lives in some sort of Apple Tank Pros, while experiencing the world through Apple's Vision Pro VR headsets.
