Apple Says 'Hello' to Vision Pro in New Ad as Headset Nears Launch

AVP is so much more than just letting a user create multiple large virtual computer displays in your living room.

If you happen to be curious, you might want to do a little research about AR and its potential applications. Apple has, collaborating with Stanford University's AR/VR laboratory for the last 7-8 years.

I have done research on TRUE AR and this is NOT it. I suggest you do research on what AR TRULY is, for example what XReal is doing with lightweight glasses that are miles ahead of the Vision Pro.

IF Apple has been collaborating with Standford’s AR/VR lab, what has come from it? What Vision Pro app, is the most compelling and interesting to you?

Of course. I never said what you're seeing in this story is AR. In fact, several times in this thread I've pointed that out saying this is merely being able to create multiple virtual large computer screen's in one's living room, and that AVP is much more than that.

Apple hasn't released any AR apps to the public yet. They've decided to *start* with VR experiences, something regular people can easily relate to.

" I suggest you do research on what AR TRULY is,"

Multiple times over the last 2-3 years I've listed a dozen or two AR app possibilities for AVP on this forum. I know what it is.


"IF Apple has been collaborating with Standford’s AR/VR lab, what has come from it? "

Apple has chosen to not reveal that yet. Which makes a lot of sense getting early customers stoked about what I mentioned above. Something that's far more relatable to generate interest and sales.

Exactly. I remember sharing a similar sentiment when the Vision Pro reveal showed a woman folding her clothes while wearing the headset. As in, doing a daily task while looking through a set of cameras instead of using her bare eyes. It shows just how off the mark Apple is in terms of how they expect or want the product to be used. People aren’t going to have it on their head unless they specifically need to. These aren’t contact lenses.

When someone walks in the room, people will take off the headset and look at the visitor eye to eye. I guarantee it. They aren’t going to turn on pass through mode.

Edit - Just watched it. Folding clothes lady returns in this ad, too!

The hate for AVP is probably in part because a lot of people can't afford it. I bet if it cost $999, there would be a lot less hate and more enthusiasm. Hate often disguises people's shortcomings.

I wouldn’t buy it for $499. What is this thing for? What am I supposed to do with it? I can tell that I’d play with it for a month then never use it again. I’ve already got a closet full of dusty crap like the Vision Pro.

oh boy, as much as I am a tech enthusiast, this ad is just turning me off of this device. Sorry, it brings back thoughts of how people don't even know how to behave well with current tech - think checking phones mid-conversation, talking on bluetooth headsets while also talking to you in person, etc... tech should get out of the way while it makes lives better... this shoves it literally into your face, and takes you to some extent out of life in my view.

In all honesty, I would rather pay $3500 for a smart Siri that I can converse with.

48 seconds into the video, the woman wearing the headset is dancing. Do personas have hands?

This only tells me that not even Apple knows what it’s supposed to solve like so far it just seems like another passive consuming device, ironically lacking in the games department. Everything just floating 2D windows 😴

When will you even get the chance to watch a movie on your own on this thing unless you are single.

The ad makes it seem like it will be totally normal to walk around with those goggles on all day surrounded by your family when in fact (at least judging by my Quest 3), you make the conscious decision like „ok I am going to put it on for about an hour now while my wife is picking up the kids“. It’s way too „in your face“ (get it?) to just casually wear it all day and if you don’t wear it all day, you might as well just pick up that call on your phone like what are the odds to be wearing it in the exact moment you are receiving a call.

honestly, I would find it downright rude. I am not using my Quest 3 when my BF is home for example (unless we play a game in turns) because I don’t want him to feel ignored

I just got off of a long plane ride. Assuming the FAA would allow me - that would be the way to watch a movie on a plane.

I am excited for the product and what it will eventually be (anybody else remember how slow and glitchy the very first iPhone was?). But on the 40th anniversary of the original Mac ad, this is a real disappointment of an ad.
 
This leans into weird, antisocial behaviour in a way I've never seen Apple do before. The dad interacting with his kid via the dead robot eyes is the kind of thing I'd expect to see in an SNL parody or in Black Mirror, and yet here it is in an ad for a product Apple wants us to believe is the next generation of computing. Dystopian.

Hugs and prayers. It isn’t that deep. Stay focused on having fun every once in a while.

I showed the Guided Tour Video to some friends this weekend. None of them had heard of Apple Vision Pro before.

They were BLOWN AWAY.

The excitement level was through the roof as they saw each new segment of the guided tour, and the whole video left them extremely eager to try it out for themselves.

It was a good reminder for me that anyone (myself included) who is "tech nerdy" enough to be on these forums doesn't have a good read on the pulse of the general public's opinion. I'd imagine Apple has a much better read on this than we do, and will be working hard on an awareness campaign for the masses in the months ahead, to keep drumming up excitement for the device.
