Apple Vision Pro will be available beginning Friday, February 2, at all U.S. Apple Store locations and the U.S. Apple Store online.

I honestly doubt this will take off, but it’ll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

    Oh.

    So you can expect at least three revisions of this before they inevitably release one with optional controllers for when you need any amount of precision. And you’ll need a Apple Vision Pro 4 to be able to use them.

        That doesn’t sound like it would work, except for very basic PSVR1 style games, where again they were hobbled by poor controller setups, where you could pick between several options that were awful in different ways. The Oculus Touch controllers were so much better for literally everything, and at this point are over 7 years old.

        I mean, they can be fun too, Astrobot is pretty neat. You just can’t compare them to a full fat experience like Half Life: Alyx.

        4K per eye is great resolution, more than anyone really needs, but they’re going to be relying a lot on woolly hand gestures, and as such is going to struggle even for simple games like Beat Saber.

        There’s an argument they’re not going for gamers here, which is fair enough, but answering emails while having my glasses pressed into my nose isn’t something I’m particularly interested in.
