Microsoft Reacts to the Apple Vision Pro 

He could play John McClane's grandfather and team up with Justin Long to play in the newest hollywood blockbuster cop show "To Live and Die Hard in Cupertino" comiing this summer!

You tried toо hard too long. Not funny.@@murder.simulator

You cannot compare Sam with someone who has only two personalities. :/

Uhh Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Sam

Does PC include Linux?

That got a very good laugh out of me, perfect closing joke.

Ruthless 😂

My window's phone was awesome.

Ironic 😂

Funny enough I would still be happily using my windows phone I bought for cheap in 2016 if it worked on our modern cell networks. I hate my andriod phone.

ROFL

Hentai community would've loved that. Ah, what a tragedy it never came to be.

Leave Kim Kardashian out of this.

@@fakumadda1632 LOOOL

I really wanted a hololens and it does basically do everything the vision pro dose except I don't believe they actually made a true commercial version and the lack of apps would have killed it too ... I miss windows phones to be honest, I just wished that the Microsoft teams back then gave more crap about the apps which could have saved it.

I'm so annoyed with Microsoft for never diving into the consumer market. I was waiting for years to find a $999 AR headset and they never did it. Now it kinda looks like they fumbled the bag. Hope they enter the market soon!

I had the first HoloLens and it was amazing what it could do even when it was 4 or 5 years older than most of the other tech that was out. It was still Head and shoulders above most everything in some areas. Was thinking about purchasing the second version but was holding out for something that was more a consumer level adaptation. Disappointed that Microsoft never pushed in that direction.

@@robertmunafo5039 I also think it's a missed opportunity. I tried the HoloLens myself and it was really amazing! The field of view is small but the screens are very bright. Best of all, it's technology from 9 years ago.

Honestly, first time hear about it

🤣🤣

💀

🤣 well most of their cult members are dead inside already so 🤷‍♂️🤣

Apple has been very quiet about tamagotchi 2023 sorry AI, Perhaps too quiet, Im getting very suspicious that vision pro is actually a sophisticated plot to get people killed, by getting them run over, and then replace them with AI powered AVP Avatars, their families would never know, because they wouldn't have any actual contact with them to tell the difference 😂

With poverty accelerating, a lot of us will look very much corpse-like soon, assuming we don't get vaporized in nuclear war by crazed politicians. But at least the wealthy have new status symbols to flash at the impoverished masses while distancing themselves from the miserable reality they're creating.

Haha

They've sold 300k units since launch. Meta on the other hand has sold 17 million of just the Quest 2 and apple will easily surpass it in the next generation. Not even close in terms of marketshare. Apple has already sold over 200k units.

People say the same about the iPhone and Mac, and yet the establishments you mentioned are full of them. I know you're desperate for Apple to fail, but maybe give the apps a few months. The engineering ones are interesting, like the formula 1 car which explodes to see all the components to scale.

@@jire9831 That's not true, they expect to sell between 300k and 400k by the end of this year. They sold out the presale, but a lot of those devices will be sent back. If you ask me, this one doesn't seem like an Apple product.

Much better to have kids rich and happy than poor and angry ;)

I mean it's right there in the name... tupperWARE... tupperWEAR? 🤔

ROLF nail it

You think he's gonna shell out thousands to make a video he'll clear twenty dollars in ad revenue on?

​@@danielhall6477😂😂😂

no bro it’s the HoloLens

Timing really has been a bitch for for Microsoft. But that too is part of the equation for a successful product launch to the masses. Have you forgotten about windows xp tablet edition? I wanted one of those motion computing m1400 tablets they used on Stargate Atlantis. They looked so cool and futuristic. It even had a fingerprint reader back in 2004. The concept was great but the tech wasn't there yet. The cpu power, the battery life, mechanical drives plus those things started at 2000 usd. That's 3250 usd in today's money.

Unfortunately they're removing the WMR software. Once that happens with headsets will be paperweights. There's no open source alternative, Linux support....even steam vr needs Microsoft's app. Real shame, I love my Lenovo Explorer.

😆

Yeh I would assume because it is in the early honeymoon stage those idiots are wearing it for as long as possible & complaining they cannot do certain things whilst wearing it as per your example of looking at their phone. hey could of course simply remove the bulky $3.5k piece of junk off their head & do the tasks they can do with said piece of junk

Reminds of Siri in it first came out. I wasn't impressed as I've worked with speech engines. How often do people use Siri today?

@@MrAkaacerpeople still don’t use Siri all that much. Google Assistant is so much better

@@MrAkaacer I know a guy who uses Siri quite often, but even back then he wouldn't have thought of it as revolutionary. Mostly just a very slight time save over typing

I’m sure if you could easily afford an Apple Vision Pro, and bought one, you wouldn’t complain about or make fun of it. Critiquing how others choose to spend their hard earned money is pretty low. Why do you care? Jealousy? The need to feel superior? Or are stuck in the 1990s? Lol

It’s a full fledged computer, what type of idiot says there’s no use case for it. Maybe it’s not for you which is fine but there’s certainly a reason for people to buy one. Additionally without consumers there won’t be enough reasons for developers to support it.

@@1nine8two39 First of all if you use your brain a little then you would realize you can buy far better computers from both apple and elsewhere with 3500 dollars! Secondly im not saying why a single one of them is sold, sure there will be people who will buy it before there is use case for it. But it is entirely sold out? That's just dumb people buying any apple product, most probably to show off their stupidity! You can't use it for even simple surfing right now unless you enjoy that ridiculous 3D keyboard ofc...

​@@1nine8two39consider how many people are struggling to pay energy bills and food bills...I honestly can't wait to see more of these things in public.... $3500 ..... Mugged and sold for 500. Would you then have been mugged twice? 😅

In many industrial use cases, you're not even allowed to impair the employee field of view for safety, like a surgeon operating or a utility technician making repairs in a power pole, so the Apple Vision is a no go from the start. They definitively serve different purposes.... but my guess is that if Microsoft could get away with not making the hardware and just selling the software that runs the business applications, they would probably ditch the Hololens as the hardware is less profitable.

*but without an app because Google

in military too

@@dualnon6643 And without tracking you, because they’re NOT Google 🤷🏾

Frs

At least Google Glass was see through. i mean they could have designed that to be in some normal glasses instead of making it look futuristic & distinctive

@@triax7006that’s why I really wanted it to happen

If you talk only about phones then yes, but its nothing impressive cause there is only iOS to compete and its unfair to say cause Windows phone didn't have big lifespan but if it did it would definitely allowed sideloading apps.. I mean they made Windows which suggest that sideloading would be allowed If we compare OSs with programs support Windows is best by far

I would use Windows phones if they would come out again, I liked the look of them, I didn't like the Windows 8 theme, but they moved past that.

Windows phone was good. Microsoft literally wasted the potential of Windows phones. If Microsoft added an option to play older pc games on it natively then it will become a huge success.

@@karthikeyan53exactly

Exactly

Yeh for industry etc it is a good thing, but for the general public outside of said industry it really has no use especially as these are just VR headsets with passthrough larping as AR. About the only time it may take off is when they are like regular glasses & you can simply control what info is displayed sort of like a heads up display. None of this garbage where the whole field of view is filled with so much info you cannot se anything else in front of you

It includes a battery on board

@@michaelcorcoran8768you can just mount the Vision Pro battery to the back.

both are ugly to me

The hololens 2 are like 6 years old, a newer version would be so much slicker looking than even the Vision Pro.

HoloLens aren't made for looks, they're made for work.

LEGO -s don't have fingers.

I agree

Hololens 2 is great and with Edge you can create apps of all streaming services with one click. There is really no other app I would need for it as I just mirror my PC screen to it for games

Agreed, He's more entertaining than most actors in Hollywood these days

HoloLens is/was really forward looking. Indeed, HoloLens was marketed only for Pro users - unlike the Apple Vision Pro (can you actually release a consumer device for 3.5k and get away with it? :)). However, I think the projection technology has failed HoloLens. While it allows the HoloLens to get away without the advanced see-through cameras, it has two major problems: (1) half the field view of what the Vision Pro has, and (2) not-so-great contrast especially in bright environments. These limitations change the experience significantly. I really wish Microsoft continued their development for HoloLens.

@@GeorgeM76 Same

Because intelligence and humour only goes so far

I'd consider one too. They look cooler. But it's Microsoft software which means it'll be a complete pile of clunky cluttered w@nk.

Microsoft fired most of their Hololens and WMR teams and the WMR subsystem in Windows is already scheduled for removal. Might not be the best time to buy into that dying ecosystem. Also Hololens itself has a terrible FOV, so it's pretty much unusable as a VR headset.

@@grumbel45it was already removed from W10 and W11. Buy a HoloLens and run Linux or steam os on it instead

@@grumbel45 It's because they want to go all in on AI and Cloud. This is basically the smart phone all over again. They had smart phones in the 90's and early 00's then failed to make them something for ordinary people. Same thing all over again.

@@HontasFarmer80exactly

Stop body shaming

But the apple one apparently also has a limited FOV. Prob not as limited as the HL2 but I don't know for sure. Kinda sucks there's no tech reviewer matching both up against one another

Thanks Arnlold!

I wouldn't mind having such a thing as my table in the living room near the couch and TV. A control hub for the home ofc with a swipe towards the TV function to switch the video output to the TV

Linux is not company
