Yeah and this is the avatars you can create. Truly groundbreaking.

They went for a "wii" or "memoji" style avatar... they could have done more realistic avatars if they wanted to, but yeah, this design choice isn't doing him any favours.

The meta quest 1, 2 and 3 supports connecting to a more powerful pc natively and they always knew that will guarantee a pc vr gamer customer base.

The meta horizon’s app itself and Zuck’s vision of working in VR was the failure. Not the headset.

Apples and oranges.

All these companies have hits and misses.

The vision pro can work. But it'll need a couple of software updates and natively support PC VR. Not Mac Pro VR, PC VR, unless they can make their equipment and graphics accelerated desktops attractive for game and social app developers. In other words attractive for the users. The Iphone was attractive for users. It could phone, message, play music, etc... Their VR headset does nearly none of the current sought after applications and nothing more than what already exists.

Apple doesn't care about those gamers. They're in the minority. https://appleinsider.com/articles/2...-revenue-in-2021-outpacing-microsoft-nintendo

In 2021, Apple ranked third in gaming revenue amongst global public companies, just behind Sony and ahead of Microsoft.

By selling a tonne of crude mobile games on ios with terms which chase away triple A developers such as epic.

Again with the vision pro their marketing focuses on some kind of “experience in AR.” Like dropping a browser window on the street. Amazing.

So what does the vr headset do if it’s not catering for games and social apps?

Vision Pro is Apple's weirdest and riskiest product in years–and it shouldn't stop there

When Apple says yes instead of no, great things can happen.

No matter what you think of its future prospects, we can all agree that the Apple Vision Pro is weird, right? One of the world’s most powerful companies has spent a decade preparing to ship a new product and platform that’s embodied in a $3,500 VR headset that lets you use apps in 3D space.

After a decade of steady and boring iteration, Vision Pro is… not that. And I love it.

Apart from the 12 inch Macbook the rest of the ideas all suck. No thanks.

People are starting to return AVPs.

Here is a summary of the web page:

• Vision Pro returns: The article reports that some early adopters of Apple’s Vision Pro headset are returning the device within the 14-day window due to various issues.
• Comfort problems: The article cites several users who complained about headaches, eye strain, motion sickness, and weight distribution of the headset, which made it uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time1.
• Productivity issues: The article also mentions that some users found the Vision Pro lacking in productivity features, such as file management, window multitasking, and coding experience. They also noted the absence of a killer app for the device.
• Future prospects: The article suggests that the return rate of the Vision Pro is unknown and that many users are still interested in a second-gen version of the device. It also compares the Vision Pro to Meta’s vision for face computers.
