Apple Vision Pro launch pre-view testers complain about weight, comfort, even headaches::Reporters given pre-launch access to the new Apple Vision Pro have reported concerns with its weight and comfort, with at least two writers reporting notable discomfort using it. While there are undoubtedly positive experiences to be had with the product, it wasn’t just discomfort that was problematic.

The photo of the woman wearing VR goggles with a shit-eating grin on her face while supposedly having a conversation with somebody really speaks volumes about how Apple envisions us to interact with one another in 2024. Good grief, I abhor absolutely everything about this.

The goggles make her look stoned.

Wearing googles while having a convo is almost worse than being on the phone, its very antisocial.

I wonder what the "Glasshole" equivalent will be.

Whats weird is that I’ve used VR a lot and if I’m talking while in it or to someone who has the headset on, I don’t mind that there isn’t a personal connection there.

However, I get what this is intended to solve. An upgraded version of this that has much much better quality would actually be really cool and more natural than one might expect.

I don’t want to live in VR but I think this stuff is useful to be able to use VR while still being in the same environment with people.

I think the context really matters. If you start a convo with someone who was already gaming, its less weird. But if your sitting on the couch with a loved one and mid convo they start gaming (or looking at a screen), its a lot more antisocial.

I personally don't get the point of this product though, it feels to me like Apple making the same mistake as Google Glass, but I guess time will tell if this really takes off.

I think the stoned look is just her default look, googles or not...maybe "resting stoner face" is a thing 🤷‍♂️
