I dislike apple for a lot of reasons, but the Vision Pro is bringing some pretty advanced new tech to the table.
This isn't Apple's typical MO where they stick meh hardware into a pretty looking case and jack up the prices.
This sort of tech has to start somewhere, and that's always at a high price point.
What's new and advanced about this? Hasn't it all already existed in some form? It's just been Apple-ified, no? It's just a VR headset, an actual AR headset is something like HoloLens.
Beyond the tech, who is even the target audience for this? I only see it as a gimmick, one for just Apple geeks to buy. One of the reasons 3DTV's failed is because nobody wanted to wear the glasses, so why would anyone want to strap this to their face just to do something they already do or could do on their TV/computer/phone?
You can already pretty much do everything this can with an existing VR headset in one way or another, for a lot cheaper.
It's a bizzare product.
Have you looked at the specs?
I am also perplexed by the product but there are no affordable headsets offering their resolution/framerate combo. And with OLED screens? Nah, not even close.
