OK, pretty cool. Spacial Operating system named Vision OS. pretty damned impressive. It really looks like your phone, iPad or MacBook screen with the background being what you really see. The app icons simply float in your normal vision.

Don't ever sell Apple short. I love technology. It is ever changing and challenging.

 
Just wait for the neuralink integration. :oops:

In all seriousness, I think this will be as successful as the metaverse and 3D TV.
People hate wearing goggles and in an era when everything is wireless, this thing has a cord...for the battery.
The video of the guy blankly watching his daughters play while he stared at/through his device was brutal. Can you imagine trying to personally interact with someone when they can't see your eyes?
It could be interesting to watch a movie by yourself, but I can't see people wearing this when anyone else is around, for work, or around the house. At $3500, the apple bros with disposable income will get it for the novelty, but I think it will have limited success. Of course, I could be totally wrong. Time will tell.

Agree and disagree. But first, one has to understand how this works and differentiates. It is basically an extension of your apple watch, phone, iPad, MacBook, or TV. It simply puts apps up in the foreground while the background is your normal vision.

Each use case is a stand alone use case. I can easily see it being used by people who work at home. This may have way less screen damage to your eyes. Regardless, you can have your desktop or apps up and you look away or at other things. You would end up looking past, or through, the desktop and see what you want to see. So if you are a work at home parent, you can easily glance over to your kid if there is a noise or whatever. At the same time, you can zoom or enhance visuals. So if you've got a small spreadsheet, or want to zoom in to see what the dog is eating, you can do that.

But there are other applications. You no longer need to buy an 85 inch TV. You can play virtual reality games. VR can be built into any application or app as an click on option. You can take photos while hiking as an amateur or a pro. Lets say you are hiking Gacier and think you see something. You can zoom in, see a heard of mountain goats, and take a picture or video without having to reach into your pocket. You can take video too. It can replace a go-pro. It can be used to see the video from a drone. At the very least, it can replace all of those devices with one (TV, watch, phone, iPad, MacBook, camera, video camera, binoculars, etc.).

I can see a doctor wearing one to be able to access information and zoom in on the patient all controlled by voice. Heck with the Doctor, I'll wear one the next time I have to change my garbage disposal and need to follow along with a youtube how to video while still being able to use both hands.

Can't wait for Google/Android to perfect it.

Apple certainly may change the world again, but I'll be very surprised if that happens. The track record on VR/AR is pretty bad.
I work for a 60B global company that invested heavily in 3D TV. It was a spectacular failure. Google 'Army IVAS' which is Microsoft's attempt to take Hololens and make it a functional AR extension for soldiers and replace a handheld on their chest. A billion dollars later, the feedback is that it gives soldiers wicked headaches and it will get them killed. Congress cut funding by 95%. Think about that. AR is so bad that Congress stopped funding it.
Again, I could be very wrong, but I think the disconnect here is that you think these are unintrusive and not an obstruction except for when you wish to see some icons. The video makes it clear that you are sealed in those goggles. There is no natural light entering. You are watching an image on a screen created by a camera.
I don't think you could wear these on a hike and manage to not kill yourself, and I'll say it again, that clip of the father creepily watching his daughters play was disturbing. How often do we hear that you should be engaged with your kids and not on a screen. Now we're saying that you literally are watching them through your screen, and they can't see your eyes.
I also love tech. I sell it and deal with it every day. But I really hope this one does not catch on. Put the phone down and talk to a human face.

Amazing stuff. The device anticipates that you will "click" on an Icon with your pupil.

Another overpriced underperforming trinket from Apple. It looks pretty. That is about it. To date, Apple is the least innovated company in the tech industry. Their best product by a country mile is the AirPod Pros followed by the original AirPod.

You're even negative when you post about things other than Penn State football. Come on, think happy thoughts.
