@@loki2stunt too goofy

Haha smart contacts is taking it a bit far, that’s physically impossible

@@wiacco Sure, it is now. Check back in in a few decades and we’ll see where we are lol. I know for a fact people have toyed around with the idea so it’s not entirely science fiction. I mean, people actually do have ideas about how smart contacts could be done but obviously the tech isn’t there yet. But you know what else, fifty years ago it used to also be physically impossible to make flat screen ultra HD TVs too because the tech wasn’t there yet, but here we are with everyone having multiple of them and they are cheaper than ever. Just wait around long enough and there will definitely be some sort of smart contact lenses. There’ll definitely be smart glasses that are the size of regular ol’ glasses before smart contacts are a thing, but mark my words, friend, one day we will all be using some form of augmented reality contact lenses!

Honestly smart contact lenses sounds too invasive

@@STSGuitar16 the military is easily 20-30 years ahead in technology than the rest of the world. They might have the answers for true wearable Vr/Ar tech.

There is this large problem of the size of available materials. There are physical limits in what you can do with silicon and circuits. They can only get so small before the physics stop working. Perhaps one day we will have contacts that can display a signal beamed in remotely. But you’re never going to fit circuitry and power into something that small, it’s physically impossible in the universe we inhabit.

Why? The logical implications, once the government gets these are bad. Read the book Snow Crash

Why would this make you more optimistic?

@@HS-mz1lh Wow the comments are getting worse and worse.

100%

I mean that's great and all but the iphone had an immediate use-case - replacing the Blackberry. This has no clear use-case yet.

It will be more smaller sizes. It will support more hands 🙌 gesturer. So we can get rid of computer screen, keyboard, mouse. The battery can last long for 8-12hrs

This isn't as innovative as the first iPhone was. AR & VR headsets gave Apple much more to build from than they had for the iPhone. As a result, this is instead more refined. The downside is its astronomical price, which makes its market nil - for this first model at least. It'll be interesting to see the next model, presumably aimed at actual people.

It'll be the size of a regular pair of eyeglasses and you will be able to feel your VR surroundings such as temperature, water, or pain.

This can be done in a phone or a computer

​@@Nagria2112 They may be taking on some of the cost if they can't afford it, like meta. But if they do it, then like meta, it will drain a lot of money

@@Nagria2112 It doesn't have the Pro in its name for nothing. Apple will definitely bring a cheaper version to the market, as is the case with almost all models, iPhone Pro, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and so on.

thats literally the point. the first generation of all Apples new tech is always over priced and marketed for those who will invest in its growth and development. give it 2 years and a celebrity cosign, a subscription payment plan and everyone will stop complaining and adapt as usual....this is absolutely the future.

They take existing tech and sell it for thousands more than it should cost. So innovative. We've had hand tracking in vr for 5 years now. The quest and index even have it natively with an install.

@@Sammysapphira Even though they harped on not needing a controller watch how they'll release one later on as a pricey add-on. Not all VR experiences lend themselves to hand tracking. I honestly can't see this taking off for productivity. There's really nothing a VR headset adds in that space to improve on. If this thing doesn't build a solid gaming ecosystem it's dead in the water. That's the ONLY use case VR can justify itself for and it's ironically the one thing Apple didn't even bother to showcase during the keynote.

@@lammyjammer6670 re: gaming ecosystem. This is just absolutely wrong and I think Apple is really onto something here. Right now, pretty much all consumer VR stuff is targeted at gamers, but as you can clearly see, it just doesn't work. The market is just too small and people don't really care. _Not_ focusing on gamers and going the productivity route is exactly the right play from Apple here.

@@jangxx Quest Pro are collecting dust and they have a similar focus. You can also do most of these things already on even a regular Quest (with full wireless video no less!). The productivity features are not the reason those are selling... I've used those headsets myself for virtual desktop work and the experience compared to actual screens is simply inferior.

@@lammyjammer6670 And why is it inferior? Maybe because the screens just don't have the necessary resolution and the hand tracking is simply not good enough? I.e. exactly the main things Apple has improved here? Personally I would love to have one of these to replace the shitty screen setup at work, but I can't justify spending this much money on it.

@Deejii Varissuo $1K for a haircut?

@Deejii Varissuo if you spend that much on a haircut youve got other problems my dude.

@Deejii Varissuo 1k on a haircut? Dude

would be a lot cheaper if it wasnt an all in one machine - who is buying this instead of a laptop anyway?

​@Deejii Varissuo You did not learn to cut your own hair during quarantine? It was the time to mess up all you wanted, trial and error.

This is Apple!! They will not release an inferior device to lower the price. Cheaper iPhones are just as good even while they lack a few features! You never feel your phone works worse than the Pro models...

Well the iPhone is inferior to the iPhone pro, so is the iPhone SE. They have to make a cheaper version otherwise it's dead on arrival.

Yes, exactly. It’s the future but not this specific version of it. A more affordable normal version is necessary. This is just the absolute best like if you told apple engineers “do the absolutely most crazy headset”

But they have to release the first expensive version in order to ramp up the technology.

Indeed first gen is always super expensive

Im more surprised that he could make such a surprised face like he stumbled upon a grimoire

Lately he's been so unenthusiastic about tech that I feared he would quit RU-vid for a while. When I saw him excited about the Vision Pro I knew Apple was going to deliver on their promise. This looks like the biggest technological leap since the iPhone.

you need another mans opinion to have your own?

@@stockholmpublishings2937they actually tried it first so their opinion kind of matters

My thoughts exactly

Yeah I don't like that he's hyping and taking people out of context.

As in copy, rather than spend the $10b R&D that Apple put in.

They can continue to release inferior versions of Apple products, but virtual/augmented reality will always be a stupid fad.

"Same technology at reasonable prices" tell me you know nothing about engineering without actually telling me.

or steal... people think everything could be done cheaply without thinking about how much these countries/companies steal from the OEM with subpar quality components. People want to buy Mercedes at Walmart and they are disappoint when they get a toy car instead.

Is indeed good. Balanced professional overview that other tech journalists should aspire to.

brown nose much?

#metoo

As can be seen with the quest Pro, you don't need to have a facial interface touching your face. It can be open. So heat is not a major problem. A much bigger problem is the two hour battery life. That means, we are nowhere near replacing a mobile phone with something like this headset.

the M1 chip doesn't get hot, check out the 2020m1 maqbook air, no fans and you can be doin cpu and gpu intensive tasks and the Mac doesn't get hot.

I heard a reviewer saying that there is actually a small fan starting after like 20 minutes and gently blowing in your face. I forgot who it was though

You have the VR BALANCE with comfort strap? That was the only thing that worked for me. Took all the weight of the front. I have it on all my headsets

@@laartwork Yes bud, I have a DAS and 3d printed mounts, and a custom 3D printed mount for an additional battery on the rear to balance my headset better, there isn't anything you can offer that I don't already have or have tried, I also have a large fan on the floor blowing upwards to keep me cool and a ducted refrigerated AC in the room, also a dedicated AP6 from Ubiquiti mounted directly above my play area, I also had a full bunji setup before good wireless came about, I have over 300hrs alone in FO4VR and over 600hrs in Pavlov, so been there done that already, owned and used, the DK1, DK2, OG Oculus, the Rift, Dell WMR, Quest, Quest 2, Vive, Vive Pro, my go to is the Quest 2 with Wireless PCVR, so I do know a little on the subject, until these things are like putting on a comfy open set of sunglasses, they will never be widely accepted.

Not difficult at all with an M2 and R1 chips. You will be wearing a powerful computer as any used for CAD, especially with that giant 4K screen. Process simulations will now be capable on a giant screen to train Operations personnel, we do that on an iPad now, Pilots train on iPads, so I already have a multiple of Engineering Tasks lined, price is pretty cheap when you are in Oil, Gas Mining, Space, Astronomy etc, Industrial Engineering will jump all over this.

To be honest, i don't see it useful for 3d design. Its easier to design in 2d and extrude or cut. It feels more of gimmick for that application. The skill curve to design in 3d is quite high. Its not as easy as it shows in movies

@@Random_dud31 well first of all it will bring the skill curve down. Its a lot more easy to get into modeling in VR or AR, it is more intuitive and self explanatory. and of course there are advantages to designing in virtual space, you cant move simultaneously and effectively along all 3 axis with a 2d screen. There are professional designers already using programs like Gravity Sketch in their workflows, you can take a look if ur interested, with time and development they have a lot of potential

@@Matts3dbuilds Your not in the Engineering loop , we have been designing in 3D cad for over 20 years. It’s called work, not games, it’s where Oil Plants, Mining plants are designed. Concrete Foundations, Buildings, Piping, Electrical, Mechanical, and Process Diagrams, And Flow sheets.

I see this as something you can wow your customers with in a presentation but not much more than that. There is no tangible benefit working with stereo projection and I doubt anyone wants to work with something strapped to their face either.

Nah, motion sickness is way worse. Nothing worse than being taken out of immersion because you can’t play at all.

It's definitely the motion sickness. I can't stand the Oculus Quest for more than 5 minutes.

@@georgimihaylov5432 how is any headset every going to fix motion sickness? it happens when the felt motion does not fit the seen motion

Motion sickness has not been a thing (from fps perspective) for at least 7 years now. Unless you use some low-refresh rate HMD, but most are ocer 90hz. Weight is an actually ongoing issue and I don't see Apple have solved it (they wont even disclose the weight). So feel free to be convinced yourselves if you dont believe me.

@@adamjensen2304 i cant imagine motion sickness being a problem for the usecases apple advertises. Early headsets did have a general problem with it because their tracking/screen refresh rate wasnt good enough. Now thats long in the past and people generally get sickness when they are doing something in VR that is far different from what their body is actually doing, like running, quick turns (without their actual body turning, only avatar) and ,especially for me, falling. I only ever get motion sickness from fast paced games, especially if they rely a lot on joystick movement. Ive introduced many people to VR and few have problems outside of games. Id like to know how it is like for u guys, but please mention the platform you are using

Apple getting into the industry will surely boost investment into VR/AR/MR tech at large, which is great, but at it's current price it's too expensive for mass-market adoption. If it, despite the price, manages to be at least somewhat successful, and Apple shortly after comes out with a much reduced cost version (say $1,000 or preferably a bit less), without reducing the quality and functions too much, then I think the stage is set for these types of devices, from lots of different manufacturers, to quickly become common place. I would love to see these work with PCs, not just Macs, and to be useable with for example Steam or to play VR games that's been released for Windows. Apple has never been that serious about gaming, and even when they've made some minor hints towards moving in that direction in the past, nothing has really come off it, so there's no reason to think that this time will be any different in that regard. I think, first and foremost, that games and porn, will drive mass adoption of this type of devices, and not office work, and Apple has never been supportive of the first two categories I mentioned, so unless they change their stance on that, or allow them to be used even outside their own eco-system, their impact is likely to suffer from that. I don't think the average office worker would want to wear a heavy device on their head all day rather than just have a normal screen, and most managers would hate not being able to see if the people working under them are on facebook, watching netflix, or doing the work they're actually supposed to do... Once these devices becomes as ubiquitous as smart phones are today, that's when I think the group Apple is targeting in their marketing material so far for the Apple Vision Pro, is going to start really using them in their daily work in a more common place fashion. They're targeting the last group that will adopt this technology I think. If the popularity of this headset is poor, it can set the entire industry back a decade, as investors could pull out if even Apple fails to succeed in the space.

Normal average people paying for $3.5k glorified VR/MR headset? sorry ... "spatial computing" :)

What!? none of these "journalists" are completely full of shit, bootlicking shills.

Logical point to **wanting an iPhone.

It will be a cool toy at best I cannot picture anyone bringing this thing outside their house especially given it only has 2 hours of battery life and you will look like a total nerd

Thanks for your look into the future of technology, mystic Meg. All your other predictions have been so spot on.

When this same technology becomes as light and comfortable as a pair of sunglasses though it will be more convenient and powerful than an iPhone.

if i can buy a 8k cheease grasde or this, i would choose this...... its literally have the price AND includes a screen.

Watch the video, at the end he says that there is no way it could sell at the same rate the iPhone originally did, but as it’s a new way to interact with technology that will slowly get popularised, it absolutely is “the new iPhone” in spirit.

​@@mythbuster6126a little bit of clickbait is the norm for RU-vid

The tech isn't even there to enable what you're describing.When that tech turns this concept into regularly shaped ar glasses that's when this is really gonna blow up and become the new "iPhone".Unfortunately we've got at least 3-5 more years until this can happen in a way that will be worth it while also being sufficiently cheap.

Developers also need to make good software and they need to have some sort of supported controller so you can play real video games when they come out instead of basically mobile games

agree. it's not the device but the way they are trying to present function for headsets. next iPhone? hardly

@@15Stratos3-5 years is a massive stretch. I can see a much better and cheaper product with useful battery life in 5 years, not one also in a super compact form factor

@@khiyabarrett1459 Made by who? Apple currently has the best mobile chips with M2 and now R1, so until someone comes out with faster AND more efficient chips nothing is beating this.

Y... you mean like... bulleted talking points???

Seriously, I hope the checks were worth it. They all have the same taking points but not really sure those points are anything but opinion.

Everybody's getting rich.

So you only binge shills. How original.

The dizziness is mainly because of 3 things: Lower resolution, higher latency and lower frame rate. Meta Quest Pro: Resolution: 2K per eye, Latency: 70 ms, Frame Rate: 45-60 FPS Apple Vision Pro: Resolution 4.5K per eye, Latency: 12 ms, Frame Rate: 100 FPS (What reviewers claim to be) TLDR: Apple has 100% solved dizziness and 0 reviewers experienced any

​@@well7885 what about eye strain? Looking at something so close to your eyes causes a lot of eye strain on some people. I got an Oculus for my birthday. I never had dizziness or motion sickness but I had a lot of eye strain and some headache after only 30 to 40 minutes of use.

@@well7885 The reviewers only were able to use it for 30 minutes so that doesn't prove anything

@@Blakostructr People start feeling dizzy within a few minutes of using a bad VR. I myself am a primary example. Tried my roommate’s quest 2 once and felt dizzy almost instantaneously. SO bad that never put them on again. One reviewer jumped around and tried her best to get dizzy as she easily gets with other VR devices. She felt absolutely nothing

Very true statement, but smart watch and iPad industry was dead on arrival prior to Apple stepping in. With that said, this product won’t reach mass market until Apple releases an SE model at $1500 to $2k. Believe it or not, this will fly off the shelf at that price point! When this happens,, I predict it will impact iPad sales! Especially the Pro line!

@@Aggie4life77and macs too!

Someone will clone it and sell it for $157.00 in two years if they've succeeded at all with anything here.

@@tomasinacovell4293 impossible. There isn't anything that comes close hardware wise because Apple owns the M1 and R1 chips.

Picking a niche market with no market leader that they can dominate is what Apple has done repeatedly since the iPod.. mp3 players, smartphones, smartwatches, wireless headphones. That last one had a pretty dominant market leader in Beats by Dre; instead of competing for dominance in the market, Apple just bought out the competition, then a few years later announced AirPods & removed headphone jacks! I don't think Apple would have even bothered making this thing if they didn't believe there was a market for it.

Exactly. I saw this happening with Google Daydream. Nobody's talking about it today (it was unfortunately discontinued by Google). I still have the Daydream goggles in a drawer. At the beginning, I was super excited and used it frequently. But as time passed, it felt a little bit inconvenient to dig that rig out, switch to the Daydream mode on the phone etc. At some point I just forgot about it. It didn't help that Google didn't keep improving it, though. I see exactly the same fate for Apple Vision. People will be super excited when they start using it, but soon the battery won't last long enough; soon they'll want to share with other people what they are looking at right now ("look at this picture", "look at this on this Website, what do you think?"), then they'll see that this thing will get in the way and, without even noticing it, they'll use it less and less, to the point where strapping it on the head again will feel like a chore. They'll skip using it one day, then two, then before they know, they'll have forgotten to use the thing for an entire week. It will be useless by then.

The "next iphone" doesn't literally mean the next mobile computing device. It just means the next revolutionary tech device that isn't just for industry professionals. Like the video said, it's kinda like what personal PCs (both Microsoft and Apple) did for computers that used to be complex machines only for trained technicians and engineers. Laptops weren't even really revolutionary (in the acute sense) since their sophistication was very gradual and happened alongside increasingly sophisticated desktop computers and smartphones too. So portability isn't necessarily a requirement for this type of tech to become "the next iPhone", just think of it as potentially "the next iMac" if that helps. (Also I'm not saying I agree that it's going to be as revolutionary as the iPhone or iMac, I'm just explaining that the video never said portability was the reason behind the comparison.)

The reason I know it isn't the next iPhone is because ColdFusion is making a video about it 😂

Give it time, this is gen 1. It will advance rapidly just like iPhone until it reaches maturity. End goal is similar to a pair of glasses with the same feature demoed.

This...... Everything is more and more portable over time.... But this goes against that. It's a complementary device but not a replacement at all. Won't be seeing mass adoption.

Great catch! Crichton is sorely missed.

@@Wrigggy I guess the only ones you could forget, that you're wearing them, are the Focals. Still waiting to hear about those from Google.

And Tilt5 actually made a working product that kicks Microsoft's but for breakfast

@@scififan698 Tilt 5 was an intersting hint, didn't know about that, just watched a test video. It's a very good idea, very well executed, with huge potential for 3-D construction use. But not for general industrial use - its far too limited to special surfaces with its possible Viewpoints, which makes it similar to a monitor - with the addition of perfect 3-D. Its a perfect 3-D Screen, but not a Holo Lens successor. Holo Lens can do AR everywhere in and on any sorrundings. Apple has taken a way more excessive approach: It completely replaces your real world view with a real time recorded image of your sorrounding. But it can alter it completely as well, which makes it brutally disconnected from the real view. Its strenghth is the perfect resolution, contrast and responsiveness to your body movements and awareness of sorrounding events. It could color all your surfaces in your flat in psychodelic colors, while you could still move around as if it was their real looks. Or make a completely artificial sorrund view, with the obstacles in your flat as Fences and Glass Walls you cant pass through, but look through.

Microsoft does not have the platform to make their version succeed. It has been a disaster at anything hardware! It could never have worked even if they brought it out today!! And at $3.5k, it's just way too expensive when the completion is so much better at the same price!! Apple's world is just perfectly set up to receive this device and enough enthusiasts will buy it to kick it off and encourage development it into a better sleeker, lighter and much more efficient device!! Three years after its release, it will be ubiquitous!! think iPhone 3GS!!

I feel like Microsoft self sabotages in the name of serving ads and forcing users into a funnel

@@nixl3518 I agree that the Vision Pro will be most likely be received very well on the long run as it gets improved over time - but only in the apple eco system. That can grow because of this new product line, if it gets more afford- or desireable, but it will not conquer the world like Android of Windows did. Why? Because of the separated and rather closed apple hard- and software system. As a consequence it excludes many crucial computational fields - like experimenting nerds, historic grown complex software suites, niche usecases, low cost usecases. Apple has grown to be one of the most valuable companies in the world by doing that, so that's not a shortcoming, is part of their success formula. But: That leaves ample room for other companies to compete in that usecase space, following the lead of apple once again, but without the restricting constraints. Microsoft may seem to be the underdog, but I'm not so sure. As Ideas and Usecases for AR grow, the companies and nerds will quickly take a closer look at Oculus, Tilt and Hololens. Why? Because it gives them the freedom to develop on a way more scaleable, more affordable system and starting on humble ideas. Something Apple would not accept in their confinded App quality control that cares more for quality of execution, than on promising, but in the beginning barely usable ideas. the Apple Vision Pro will help Oculus, Hololens and Tilt by its mere existence in the high price consumer market.

I already do that with the Nreal (now Xreal).

@Spin Lock PDAs were a thing for a decade before the iPhone but Apple innovated with the touch screen. The current AR/VR solutions seems crap compared to this.

@Spin Lock > PDA’s are the same as smartphones LMFAO, after saying that, every opinion you have is irrelevant and you should keep it to yourself.

@Spin Lock The AR/VR headsets that you are thinking of that "dont cost 3.5k" are not industry-level devices like this one, even though thats not what it markets itself as. Anything even close to the 1000 dollar range has nothing in comparison to what this headset is trying to do lol, so dont compare those devices to it. The Vision Pro is literally packed with industry-level tech that in execution outmatches everything else in existence in the AR and VR space, and AR/VR solutions that even come close to this caliber are all over 5000 dollars. That says a lot lol. This device is innovative because it is pushing more advanced tech (industry level stuff) into a package that FOR ONE is portable, which in it of itself is a wonder because of the sheer amount of power inside, and TWO... is more affordable to the general population than any other vr headset in it's calber is by a longshot. Its vastly more advanced than something like the Meta Quest Pro, and, while it is (significantly) more expensive, it is paving the way for future technology in this space to be more affordable as time goes on. Hope this helps you understand, dont just get fired up about something like a price just because of not looking deeper into WHY it cost what it does :)

They have no intention of leaving the iPhone, it will continue to be their bread and butter for at least another decade, the mark ups are enormous, it's where most of their value as a company comes from.

True iPod

Vario XR is actually the industry standard for MR and it's only for corporations since it's priced at $7,000 plus subscription, and any serious corporation is buying them like peanuts. It's the current best headset money can buy. You can check out what it can do. Now Apple's Vision Pro however, looks to be even better and it's literally half the price. When you think about it that way, Apple has actually realeased a cheap, industry leading, working product to the masses. Never thought I'd be saying that about Apple ever in my life.

​@@jovanleon7 Yea, the $3,500 price tag doesn't seem all that surprising to me when you consider that people can spend a couple thousand dollars making a beast of a desktop PC. I'm still shocked that people are okay paying around $1,000 for a freakin smartphone when you can buy a powerful and extremely portable laptop for either the same price or just a little bit more. So a cutting edge VR/AR/MR headset that, as far as I can tell doubles as a computer, for $3,500 seems to be within the range of what I would expect. I'm not saying I think that's an affordable price for regular people, I know I'm not getting one, but I feel the same way about other high price tag tech that is already out there too and people seem happy to spend their money on. Like all new tech, it's going to take a little bit for the value of the tech to become intuitively understood by people. We'll see if that happens quick enough for Apple to move units.

the compelling reason is its your computer on your face. You no longer have to sit at a desk to get serious work done. Video editing on a train home is a breeze. Catching up with all the news while you're chilled out on a sofa. Its the ultimate in getting work done when your eyes are the driving force. If you can't see it then maybe you don't need it. I think of those people I've talked with that do a lot of work with multi screens or ultrawide monitors where there just is never enough space. They want this badly. This is as many screens as you need at whatever scale you need them to read comfortably. that's wild to me. Imagine photoshop where instead of having a hundred menus and too many to count nested panels you keep bringing to the front to get at what you want. You instead have this large canvas to work on with all the controls you need spread around it like a crazy plane dashboard. Just everything you could need to edit photos, or do vector work or whatever the niche graphic job is. All the controls are there always to just look at and use. Apply that to business software. video editing where the time line is as long as you ever need it to be, as wide as you can look. I don't know how much developers will take advantage of all this day one. Giants like Adobe often taken years to come to terms with new hardware but that's the dream I think its selling. A new way that's easier to get stuff done you do on your current computer.

3500USD, I'd rather have an ultra high end gaming PC personally

exactly. these tech you tubers guys are brain dead. shows how much they are in the pockets of these tech companies

You wrote this on your flip phone?

@@chiquita683 You wrote this on your apple watch?

Ah yes, because a newer version will never be released. This is the end of technological advancement.

@@HellSpawnRulerOfHell Yea they'll release the Vision Pro Slim and it'll cost a thousand dollars extra. Truly carrying humanity into a bold new future.

Yes, it is an excellent review. All done in a voice as smooth as caramel.

Agreed. Love the voice. Just a small detail here: the 5000 nits are compared to the values of other headset after they gone through the lenses. While the 5k is before.

it's like how the iPod propelled mp3 players (it was not "new" technologies -- mp3 players had been around for years before the iPod came out) to new level, or the iPhone "revolutionized" smartphones beyond Blackberry (which was very successful)

May be in 25 years that tech will be ready

It'll happen.

Dude, it's already available in existing VR glasses. It annoys me how everyone is talking about it all as if it was all new. It's just that Apple made it perhaps a little bit more polished, but the others are also mind-blowing. I assume you didn't try the latest VR glass available out there right now.

​@@valberm it's insane how apple fanboys think apple invented everything and how apple always acts like they are the first to do something.

What does that even mean? Every VR headset is a screen that's showing you the image in real time. Absolutely fucking insane that Apple fans think this is new tech

I've never owned an apple product in my life. It's just that the latest VR headsets do a good job for *virtual reality* and the latest AR headsets do a good job at *augmented reality*. Apple seems to have combined in such a way that neither detracts them from one another. I'm not fan boying over anything. Just simply saying it's impressive tech.
