I wish they would apologise for the apologies! “I recorded on a sub woofer amp low resonance wavelength while syncing with a hi amp feedback blah blah “ Don’t hear anything wrong and dunno wtf they’re on about 😂

You’re just used to hearing videos with terribly recorded sound.

The second part is REALLY rough, maybe if you don't use headphones you won't notice, but for me it's really bad, just not unwatchable bad.

The apology is FAR more annoying than the sound quality 🤷🏽‍♂️

How can you write it off?

Since he bought the device, used it for his "work" (making videos).... Also a really good accountant can write off your tooth brush if you want.

My question is why did he buy a tax write off in the 1st fiscal quarter?

That's the future... ewww.

Been done. Look for the movie "Virtual Revolution" renamed "2047: Virtual Revolution". Mid film but the subject is VR and how everyone spends their time there instead of IRL.

That’s funny because their entire screen would most likely be filled with clutters like on a desktop computer. As above so below.

Or if you could connect into their virtual space, like walking into their house and it’s just open apps lying around everywhere half finished movie sitting open with another one overlapping it. Virtual clutter

Wouldn’t they be tripping over stuff? Could be an end to endlessly buying breakable things that will end up in landfill by replacing them with virtual goods (can’t stop buying stuff, what would happen to capitalism…?)

I'm a fan of Charles Stross' Accelerando. It's a weird read for sure.

Mid comment

@@conduit242 Is that you Charles?

@@psilynt1 Yeah, I think Pamela, the "conservative Dominatrix" character kinda grinded my gears. I mean at one point she even SA's the main character. Also felt like the book should have started one or two decades in the future. But it is competently written. At some points it almost reminds me of William Gibson, (It's clearly written to be cool) although the prose is nowhere near as good and the tech mumbo jumbo is actually real for the most part. In fact in parts it's quite brilliant talking about the importance of Neural Networks, rise of small drones etc things which were far before its time. It's clear that Charles Stross knows his technology

Or you'll lose everything and... be happy?

To be fair technology like this tends to get significantly cheaper as they try to make it more accessible even if it is apple

They should give you a massive discount (or us?) if we are disabled in any way in which it would actually help those who could really benefit from it. iunno I'm naive. lool

Heart warming. I would absolutely play some game with my parents or grandparents if I had any.

Just get a few extra monitors. It really helps. Just having a second monitor I got from the thrift store for $30 has made it so much easier for me to multitask on the computer when I need to have multiple things open to look back and fourth between them.

Isn't that what would be in your house without the headset also? Except for longer and with a lot more boredom?

@@notreallydaedalusyeah i hope so because boredem and inrospection is healthy.

That's why people get addicted to VRChat app. People literally live their life on VRChat, as it slowly subsitutes their 'real' life. It has been an old topic in VR community

Yes, all tech like this has a potential for poor side effects. Look no further than smart phones and young peoples inability to focus or hold an intelligent in person conversation using full sentences.

I think all tech has adverse effects on mental health to some degree or another. The song "The Sound of Silence" is about the very thing you're describing-- how people become lost in a digital world and stop talking to one another. But we also forget how much tech has enabled communication. There are benefits and downsides.

@@arthurdent9281 In a way that is as convenient or slightly less so than regular glasses?

@@Blankult Sure! The wireless part isn’t the hardest part when you are talking about a format similar to regular glasses. The lenses are the hard part.

Totally agree. It's a fun novelty sure sure, but just not something I'm going to use all the time. I kinda like not having things on my head. Even my glasses annoy me.

@@shalabazertheboltstruck8645 where did I put my incognito window?😅

I found a loophole in our health insurance that let me basically get a free Fitbit. Half my coworkers ended up jumping on it as well, since the terms were pretty generous. I lost it like two weeks later.

I think I piled that laundry on top of it last week

I hate it when I leave my email in my fridge…

It was weird. I thought it was going to be a bit with a payoff later - like, this is what using VR headsets does to your self-confidence!

I think there's a use case there. Of course if you can't use your hands that could cause an issue. They do have some accessibility options that might make it possible.

Indeed, quadriplegics are one of the use cases. I am one and I have been using my iPad using nothing but my voice. The accessibility feature Voice Control has been a godsend. I was really excited about the Apple Vision Pro and what I can do with it using the accessibility aids... that is, right until I saw a video by Brian Tong which makes a deep dive into the accessibility tab. And I was disappointed. They have not thought of alternate voice commands to replace the hand gestures. Hopefully, future versions would incorporate that and allow me to use them as well as I use my iPad currently. And not to be argumentative but the device is indeed XR since it does incorporate elements of VR especially when you are in the immersive environments or watching a movie in theatre mode. But your son is right; right now, AVP is primarily AR.

Right, and we haven't even discussed the fragmentation of reality and choosing to live in one's own echo chamber, which is already happening due to populist politics and selective media consumption.

This kind of tech (most probably not this iteration) definitely has the potential of making life much easier in multiple scenarios, for example in anything that requires designing something with human scale in mind, be it exhibitions, buildings, events, renovations, interior design, set dressing, etc. Someone else in the comments talked about piping, that's actually a great idea, imagine having a blueprint of your house that you can see through on top of the real thing, it would prevent many accidents and make repairs easier, not to mention the fact that you could have a tutorial playing right beside you. Or imagine being at a conference or convention and having contacts in real time (ideally by willing users), or having the possibility to record and transcribe in real time what the relator is saying on stage. I could also see this being useful in medicine or other scenarios where having your hands free but still being able to quickly access information might be crucial. I mean, there are many possible uses for a layer of information added on top of reality, it's a bit like asking "what is a computer/internet useful for". Unless you where asking about life in a broader sense, like finding meaning or something like that, but that won't be solved by any particular technological gadget so it would be a pointless - and I would say unfair - question to ask, just because it doesn't solve all of humanity's problems it doesn't mean it's without merit or applications (nor does this mean it won't create issues, just like computers, Internet and the smartphone have).

Same could be said for any technology. Had smart phones really made life better.. Did laptops and tablets make life better? When I was young we would sit together as a family watching TV. It brought the family together with a shared experience. Now it's easy to stream anything but something is lost. It seems technology makes life better but was life so bad without it? The years before mobile phones you would go out more, interact more in person. I think it was a better time

Ya. Isolation in society has been a growing thing since 2000. Ever since the start of smart phones.😢

As a sociologist, you'll be very much aware that the forum to answer the questions you ask does not exist. There is no "public forum", "national conversation" or other such bollocks that can't possibly exist beyond the local level. Nobody is in control of this.

Joe doesn't need to look. The companies making the HMD's need to look. Instead they are trying to reinvent the wheel, all of them, on their own.

Definitely 😁

Yep!

In ten years, because you clicked the notification icon, Joe will walk into your living room to show you his new "video." He will sit on the couch, taking the place of the cat. After all this time the cat still thinks you want her to come over when you look towards her and start talking. Your next cat will probably be virtual. Through a mix of narration, screens, and immersion, Joe will show you his content. Afterwards he looks to you waiting for approval.

This is a solution looking for a problem😂

@@realGBx64 that's every tech product of the last 15 years

In the end I only used my Quest 2 for flight sims. Now it has been at a friend's house for the past 3 months. I would probably never buy a VR headset again. It was an interesting oddity, but once I had the experience I no longer desired it.

Eh it depends on the types of games you play. I play a lot of flat screen games ported to VR personally and with those it improves the experience. (No Man's Sky, Skyrim, Lethal Company, Phasmophobia etc) If you only play the big expensive AAA/AA titles then Yee you're probably wasting money on your VR headset because they're few and far between.

I've gotta be honest, the novelty is powerful but it does wear off over time. I think that's why people struggle to maintain their VR habit. (having said that, I know some people who are real enthusiasts and never get tired of it. Different strokes, I guess)

​@@joescottIt depends on if people are social or asocial.

RU-vid harassed me mercilessly on that one until I watched it.

@@JC012732 the future is now

@@drsbutler the military has had this tech in the F-35 for over a decade now.

Yeah, but isn't this VR thing going on for a decade now? Mobile phones were already a success when apple took the next step with the iPhone. VR has never been a success for the 3 decades it's been around.

That's sort of exactly why I'll never get into the augmented reality thing. Even if they're not just using it as a vector to deliver ads straight into your eyeballs from every angle _today_ - recent history suggests they'll do it _soon_ . So, no thanks.

yeah but the kindle fire glasses would probably cost $300 instead of $3500 lol

​@@joescott best bromance on youtube

The problem is full head tracking consumer VR headsets have been around for over 25 years, the same old problem exists on the latest iterations, most people do NOT want to wear them for many hours every day, there is simply no getting around it.

@@Battleneter I honestly think that the weight of it has to be intentional. If it didn’t get to a point of discomfort then people would instantly find ways to never have to leave it and want to live their entire lives through the thing. Battery life and heavy shit are the only things saving us from ourselves right now lol 😄

Vision Pro only has stationary content. Their microOLEDs do have a lot of motion blur when you look around though.

Described it like a undercover cultured gentleman and thought qe wouldn't notice 👀👀

Exactly. Me and my buddies resort to just hanging out in Wander. We jump around place to place around the world and use that as conversation starters. But it would be so cool if we could just come to our own immersive virtual living rooms and hang out

Discord has a watch party option in its chat rooms

I’ve been anticipating this, and have actually been working on a spatial object communication protocol for the past few years that would allow multiple goggle wearers to see and interact with the same virtual objects. Kind of like TCP/IP for AR.

Smartphones existed for 10 years before Iphone

@@tedarcher9120Exactly. We had the technology for the iPhone, apple just decided to come up with that game changing form factor. The technology for AR glasses does not exist, only the technology to strap a phone to your face does, and that can only get so good.

They really should have put the computer into the battery brick. The future of smart-glasses is going to be much like the current smart-watches. The accessory device is simply a screen/camera with minimal processing power, the main processor is your phone/home computer. This will minimize the size and weight of the accessory, making it more acceptable to wear. I suppose the Vision-pro can link up to your Mac and use it as an AR screen. But it still didn't need to put the processing of the vision on your head.

@@miodragpetrovic1447 mostly fan of feature phones here - apple made touchscreen phones accessible, which is a revolution in on itself

it's not as far away as you think

They’re already ready to go. Apple just has to approve their implementation.

Ads on a device that costs as much as a vison pro? That alone is enough of a reason for me to avoid it.

I can't imagine they are wearable for long periods of time though.

Exactly!

"We're already getting bombarded by hundreds of notifications a day on our phones to a point where notification fatigue is a thing." Err, nope. Got rid of my last smartphone a few years ago and don't miss having one.......:)

i mean, you can just turn notifications off? Wait for this to become cheap and nerds have developed open operating systems for it, then it's absolutely fine. Like i recently got a google pixel of all things, which you can easily install lineageos-microg on, and then you have all the comforts of a modern phone with basically none of the drawbacks. Donate to the open source nerds if you want the future to not be dystopian.

This. Plus advertising. You think billboard and flashing neon signs are annoying in the real world, wait until they can pop into your face

He's real until Apple embalms him 😂

☺️ Thanks for saying that.

Tech will much prefer the see though ones like HoloLens. Unless they like risking losing fingers.

Sounds like you want the Iron Man helmet. Unless Joe is playing the getting ouf of the car and walking around town as a gag, actually my first thought is "When will they adjust the driving laws to class these as distractions like cell phones?" "Hands free" won't be the defining rule to wether you can use this while driving. This is like having a driver able to see a TV while driving.

@@cynvision I'm sure even if the wording of the laws doesn't explicitly cover these, any sane cop would stop someone doing that, and any sane judge would back up that charge. HOPEFULLY. lol

I’ve thought of that actually around a decade or slightly more ago when I was a young teen. My idea is an actual smart glass windshield, instead of just something you must wear, say smart glasses or a VR headset; whereas the windshield on the car itself is actually the screen (2 way view so you could still see out of it like normal glass. Essentially, it would work like an advanced H.U.D. for driving/traveling with obvious safety features and restrictions. It would provide road conditions, directions, temperature, a compass, GPS based location, etc. And most importantly to your comment; it would use advanced A.I. to highlight (with differently colored outlines for example or target boxes/rectangles similar to a digital camera or video camera) other vehicles traveling on the road with you, pedestrians, parked cars, etc. and possible threats/possible dangers to your vehicle with chimed or blinking alerts or even automated avoidance emergency maneuvers. How cool would this be?!

I just leased a 2023 Subaru Ascent, and it and many other new vehicles have a version of this. It's not in the form of video, but in the form of lights or beeps.

I still prefer the feel of books.

I don't entirely disagree with you, but this is Apple we're talking about. They have a way of making things 'cool' and pushing tech forward. Google, on the other hand, is notorious for starting projects and abandoning them in their infancy.

​@@joelverrierTIL google is like my dad

honestly google was ahead of its time there. we didnt have the tech or the reason for it. but we're here now

Google glass felt like a cool prototype to me. Great idea that was ready to be played with and made into this functionality.

I'm along a similar vein, however I've always imagined it as a neural implant for the human interface. Been fun watching neuralink come along -.- (cookie if you know what that is) With possible arrangements/levels of the tech where for whatever reason (Say there's teirs of implant price, or space constraints in your head, whatever) you can improve aspects of the functionality with contacts, audio implants, or even a cybernetic eye with a microchip, some interface with your rods/cones, and a private, encrypted, hard coded wireless (or even wired I suppose) connection with the rest of the "system". Not to mention possibilities of implants with the rest of your body once that can of worms is opened enough to have people doing any of that for entertainment. Then again, I suppose like a pen/paper, a phone, a computer, etc, it just becomes a necessity at some point. Most likely its going to replace phones anyway.
