    That seems like a massive waste to be honest. They have 4k monitors for each eye - resolution should be next level with this headset. I mean I can't say it wouldn't be really cool to run a racing sim or something on this headset... but if it's just a glorified computer then what the hell is the point

      I'm just speculating here but considering it wasn't mentioned in the initial reveal the compatibility with existing VR stuff probably isn't great.

      They rushed the shit out of this it seems. I mean tbh some of the tech is pretty cool but this is overall really embarrassing for Apple.

        There were a lot of small leaks suggesting that Tim Cook was considering retiring and desperate to get one more Big Thing(tm) out the door for his legacy. I don't know how true it was, but looking at the shitshow that is this headset I'd believe it.

          It's wild that so much labor and resources get wasted for fragile bougie egos.
