No matter if you feel the price tag is too high, or feel it’s a gimmick that won’t appeal to many, the Vision Pro will usher in a new era of apps and products.
To me, this is similar to when the iPhone was getting ready to be released. Many said it was expensive, had no keyboard, was too big and wide to be comfortably held, and would never sell. That all started to change once people got their hands on the device.
I feel that the Vision Pro will have the same effect, but this is one device you’ll truly need to test out and experience. Based on those that have been fortunate enough to actually use it, it’s not a gimmick.
Yeah, they don’t need to focus on gaming. Getting everything else established is important.
We’ve had VR for a decade now. And we still don’t have a strong ecosystem of apps outside of games. And even then, only a few titles really stand out.
If we can’t move past just games in VR, it’ll be a bummer and feels like so much wasted potential. So far Meta and Valve ain’t pushing that area. And Microsoft actually shut down their WMR initiative.
VR has only gotten to a certain new plateau of quality and comfort. A level Apple feels is acceptable to begin at.
I hope they can prove the market for VR beyond games and VRChat.
