Yea ... I personally don't get it ... but people are down for it.

The biggest example I've seen people excited about is office work ... instead of screens it's all just a VR. On which I'm expecting to see posts/blogs about why that doesn't work too well in the long term. I just don't see a big heavy thing on your face working out as a product. And while Apple may have done a lot of things well here, they haven't gotten around that essential problem it seems (??) and may have jumped the gun here out of desparation to find new product markets. For me this is a 50/50 as their first major flop in a while (does homepod count?)

*AR its argumented reality not virtual reality. And what i heard its not sooo good because of technical restrictions.

Apple's headset does both AR and VR.

Apple is trying so hard to make these look like goggles you see through that just shows whatever you want wherever you want. So much they put the external display to show your eyes outside.

It's just a VR headset. AR is just really good pass-through, something most already have but isn't useful, mixed on the software side. You're still looking at screens. This isn't new tech, this is existing tech given the amount of development apple does. Just like everything else they've done.

Apple doesn't make new tech, they make existing tech nice.
