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

Where? I haven’t had a phone subsidized by a carrier since like the iPhone 5
I don’t think Apple expects users to do this. They probably just want to get ahead of the perception people have of VR being a self-isolating experience and differentiate VP from other headsets that are focused on virtual immersion.

Finally new media (not new but different from the overused one) other than the one always being shown.
happy to see it happening, great product, with many uses.

I guess Apple expects everyone in a family to purchase their own set to enjoy it as a family. No thanks.
But isn't that why Apple's gone to the lengths of having an outward facing screen linked to inward-facing cameras? That additional hardware is there for the sole purpose of projecting a real-time video feed of your eyes outwardly to everyone around you. It's two-way transparency.
Admittedly I don't know how effective it all works in real life (haven't had a chance to try it) but I can't imagine Apple going to all that trouble for a dud.
No positioning here - can't be bothered with all that.
Have you even tried transparency on AirPods pro or max?
You're in for a surprise: It lives up to its name.
I would totally find it useful to see my packing list in a heads up display as I run around gathering stuff to pack! Plus an interesting video playing as I fold clothes etc. If I had a VP, I would use it while I do all my most mundane chores.
that’s a convenient way to pause the music to hear outside, not the purpose to wear headphone.
Nothing my TV, laptop, or phone can’t already do for me. All for much cheaper in price, too. I saw the commercial and my first thought was about the son thinking back on his childhood and what he remembers most is his dad not being present with him, but his dad lost in cyberspace with some Apple device over his eyes. -shrugs-
Yup, of course that's why they've done that, but it's still an obvious digital representation of eyes (at least based on everything I've seen and heard, maybe that will change with the detailed reviews).
Even with the decent transparency options on headphones today, it's still generally considered pretty rude to leave your earbuds in or your headphones on while talking to people. I personally see the robot eyes to be along the lines of face-timing someone who's sitting across the table from your because you can't be bothered to look away from your phone. I'm sure for basic interactions it'll be fine, but the way some people here talk about how they plan to essentially live in them I imagine there's going to be some real awkwardness.

That's not transparency. Transparency works while the music is playing.
Ok, but that’s not the point. People wear headphones for music, that lady was wearing AVP for nothing
I love that! Wearing the AVP while ironing clothes and folding laundry.
I'm going to remodel my bathroom in the coming months and have been (3D) modeling the new bathroom in SketchUp. I would love the ability to walk into the existing bathroom and have the Apple Vision Pro superimpose the new layout and fixtures over the existing walls as I walk through the bathroom. 🤯
Imagine doing that with any kind of home renovation or even an entire new-home build. That would be insane.
(I'm sure it's been done on other VR headsets, but I fully anticipate a much richer experience with the AVP.)
You were the one making the point.
Rewatch that part of the video. Look around the periphery. Turn up the volume.
Not sure what else to suggest - the clues are all there.
I “think” there should be AR apps on iPhone that can do what you said. AVP will be much much more immersive of course

Yeah, I think the FaceTime avatars are synthesized - and I do have I doubts about how acceptable an experience that will be. But AFAIK, the outward projection of the wearer's eyes is a faithful reproduction.
At 0:23 the lady was packing/unpacking luggage with AVR on her head before she received a call. Isn’t it? If she scheduled that call, it is more understandable but still overkill, if it is unscheduled, I have zero idea why she wore it.

Have you never had a show/video playing in the periphery while doing chores? Personally I do that all the time and glance at the screen if I hear some interesting bits. On the VP you can basically do the same thing while having that video go with you as move around doing other things. I think it’s a perfectly suitable scenario.
I don't care how good the cameras are, I have more respect for my family than to speak to them though AI googles. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't feel comfortable speaking to anyone through them. I think that's rather rude, actually.
I watched it again and the Dad-Daughter interaction is so bad. I can't imagine being in the room but not being present for your family. Everyone is already addicted to their smartphones. This is just going to lead to more anxiety and ADHD. Multitasking spreadsheets and making toasts for your kid at the same time is disgusting.
um…. wear that to play something in background and glance? It is possible , just I don’t know if I will do that unless this thing is super comfortable and dead stable while I move around …

What about those of us who can't sit down with our families to watch a movie on a big-screen TV, because they died in an horrific car crash and we were the sole survivor? Or because mummy and daddy are serving life sentences in prison for molesting our baby brother who ran away and has never been seen again.
So we are all alone.
What about us, eh?
