They surely need to make it look like one of those other more natural goggles/masks out there that covers your eyes with a seal.
Maybe ski goggles?

Years ago, they said online gaming simulations were helping ADHD and Autism. But it turns out they were wrong. Multitasking might have problems, But in a controlled environment with more knowledgeable doctors nowadays it might indeed help them.
Sounds like the exact type of use case AR is ideal for. Not sure what app can do this right now but if one doesn’t exist I’m sure it’s coming. Maybe IKEA or Lowe’s or Home Depot will make such an app. Good luck with everything 👍
As opposed to looking around a computer monitor? Or glancing over your phone?
He didn't put the thing on as a splatter shield before dealing with his children. He was using it to do work.
I might buy this to help me do my work more efficiently. Too long to explain details of how, but if it works out, it will be making me much more than that! Like 9%😂
The cost is high because there was no way to shave down MVP. They gotta sell their first million to continue to justify the R&D for the version they sell to the next 10 million people.
However even then, it feels like there is some future use case or breakthrough that hasn't been shared yet that justifies this product, since Apple is hungry for volume.
Its three launch bullets seem to be apps, media (production films, experiences, and personal photos/videos), and collaboration. While I'd find these compelling (at a lower price point), I still don't see anything like quantified self on the Apple Watch to get people to say they want to wear one of these for a significant amount of time.
Here is a preview: too expensive, too heavy, too little battery, not enough practical uses, amazingly futuristic.
They are realist, not haters. Apple has had 10 years to come up with app ideas for this and have zero. The best they have are straight ports of iPad apps.
No. You CAN wait 10 years and then get it.
If you couldn't wait, you'd be buying one now. Like me. I'm excited for what ten years will bring in Apple Vision Pro. This will help me be a part of it as it happens.
Not saying you're wrong in what you decide for yourself. After all, I can also afford several, but I'm only getting one for now. So you're only buying one less of them than I am.
It's a super-expensive "computing" device with less flexibility than a $600 Mac mini.
Somewhat disappointed by this ad. I don’t see the Vision Pro doing anything that you couldn’t do better and more conveniently on a Mac.
So many "experts" in this thread without having even used the device. One of the Vision Pro's goals is to reduce the "rudeness" you speak of.
You have a wife and A BF? Interesting life you live. 🤣🤣🤣
What flexibility do you speak of? Enlighten us.
At least the ad truthfully acknowledges the lack of apps.
A million apps on launch day.
I bought that original HomePod, and I still use it to this day.
Actually, I don't use it daily, but my kids use it every day to play music I don't understand at all. (Crab Rave and FNAF fan music.) My interaction is usually "Hey Siri, volume DOWN" or "Hey Siri, stop playing".
I can install anything I want on a cheap Mac. On a $3500 computer, I can only install from the App Store what publishers permit me to.
Observing that it appears to isolate people and that it looks creepy when people wear it around children is NOT “hate.” The kind of extreme reaction many of you have to any criticism, no matter how relatively mild, is just as big a problem here as the actual knee jerk naysayers. In essence, several of you complaining about AVP criticism are actually doing the thing you’re supposedly upset about.
That was key to the iPad's appeal. There weren't many iPad apps at launch, but most iPhone apps would run on it. This meant that you could use the iPad for the vastly better built-in Mail app, and you wouldn't have to put it down and pick up your iPhone to check your checking account baance on your iPhone (because your bank hadn't upgraded their app yet).
You didn't have to give up any favorite apps to use an iPad. For the most part.
And for the most part it's going to be true for the Vision Pro. Everyone's aware of some notable exceptions, and there will soon be lists of incompatible apps. There will also be lists of workarounds. I'm not affected by Netflix (I just unsubscribed after 20+ years for unrelated reasons). Youtube does affect me, but I'll be able to watch it in a browser.
There will also be lists of apps that best take advantage of Spatial Computing. There will be lists of those that use Spatial Computing in annoying ways. And there will be disagreements about which apps belong in which list.
We'll probably have to talk about skeuomorphism again.
The woman wearing the Apple Vision while folding clothes is ridiculous too…
Sort of. But it kind of defeats the whole purpose of noise cancellation. AirPods do WAY too much processing on the sound anyway even without transparency.
Well I have a Quest which is basically the same thing just with worse imagine quality. Also, the wife part was just a rhetorical scenario to be more relatable to the straights on here
I don't know why but this commercial feels creepy to me.
Seeing these people doing daily chores with a blanket pulled over their eyes....
I don't want to sound like a grandpa, but if this is the future.... I can see how some people would elect to wear this over their eyes all day long to shield themselves form the truths of the world.
We can see what social media and phones were absorbed by the masses. Riding a public transport, everyone;s stuck to their phone.
If the future brings this "cyberpunk" type of interaction.... well I gotta say it's both cool and scary..
This commercial did not work for me at all....
