That and the price is the problem, in my opinion at least. What it can do looks quite impressive I think and has some nice ideas not really done commercially at the consumer level before.

But, I suspect it’ll be another iPhone. It will rule the roost for a short time and then someone will come out with a comparable product, for noticeably less that will work with other hardware too and connect with other non-apple software.

But, I guess for those in the ecosystem (who already have big pockets already for this kind of thing) it looks really good.

There’s already competing products just like with the iPhone. If this thing succeeds, it will succeed despite that, not because of it.

I don’t know. I saw some reviews, and in the consumer space at least I’m not aware of a device that is putting stuff in shared space fixed in a location and can make virtual screens with the rest of your vision maintained. It’s these things I expect to be copied and homogenised pretty quickly.

There are apps for the Quest that can do that.

Tried the Vision at the mall today, though, and it’s pretty awesome. I had an experience I’ve never had in VR yet - when shown heights, my body actually reacted as if it was real.
