I'll admit that I am bazinga-brained and want one. No way I could afford it STARTING at $3,500 though. Makes me think that the $3,500 model will quickly be obsolete due to the classic apple low storage/ram.
Very excited to have all of my senses replaced by consumer devices.
Huge downside is 2 hours of untethered battery life though. Hopefully you can make a mod and strap a car battery to yourself.
They start at $3,500
What are your biggest use cases you see for this?
Bluetooth sex toys.
I have ASD so VR allows me to have intense experiences that I can just turn off. It's therapeautic in that way.
Also it seems nice for working, having essentially three 4K monitors in that small device. I think it'll get adoption from the enterprise market more than anything.
The biggest worry I have here is that all their marketing material says you'll enter text either by dictation or with a virtual keyboard. And I need a keyboard, an actual, physical keyboard with buttons I can feel. So until they have a solution to that easily-solved little conundrum (seriously, sell a bluetooth keyboard for a ridiculous markup, apple nerds will pay for it), I doubt we'll see mass adoption.
Oh well, I'm almost certainly never getting one of these anyway, I haven't bought an apple product since the old ipods with the colorful aluminum body, tiny screen, and scroll wheel. I kind of loved those things and I'm a little sad nothing similar has existed since.
Yeah heavy goggles absolutely kill my back, having a counterweight would be nice
Two hours is terrible, but I doubt most people want to be in vr much longer than that. But it's still terrible. Wired headsets always give me anxiety bc i'm going to step on the cord some day and brick the thing, but at least they never run out of juice.
Honestly just wait until the inevitable budget version they drop inevitably sometime within the next two years.
