Amazing use of the available technology though. I believe the biggest downside was that it caused dizzyness.

eyePods would have been an epic name.

This is code for, “we spent a lot of money but it sucks.”

Cheaper is better. I will wait longer for something that isn’t outrageously priced.

Something can be mainstream without the vast majority of people using said thing.

As literally the only other existing version of the tech to reference, how can you not mention Hollow lens when discussing this technology?

Microsoft tried it one way and virtually failed, apple saw that and is course correcting. It's absolutely connected.

It’s not quite mainstream yet. Outside a decent sized niche in gaming and porn, a vast majority of people are not using it

Somewhere in between probably

So, like... Three years? Or seventy?

Always post this.

What? The demand for a $3,000 toy isn’t overwhelming? Shocking.

I’m sure Apple sees the sales of the Meta Quest 2 and figured they need to re-engineer their device to hit a similar price point to be competitive.

PC users don’t care about the performance difference. Specs matter, except for when they don’t.

Have to love posts like this that are absolutely clueless. M1 has redefined the benchmark for high performance energy efficient ARM chipsets. M2 progresses further on this. The fact you're comparing it to your shitty phone processor and RAM shows you know zero about this topic.

If you hate Apple, cool. But please educate yourself or refrain from posting your highly objective and misinformed opinion.

It's not for the "slimness of the machine" it's because of a unified memory architecture that's only achievable by combining components with the SoC. So many misinformed users here blasting Apple over something they don't understand at all.

Uses his PC and his Samsung Phone. He also has a Small USBc DAC

I know people who get motion sick playing regular video games on a stationary screen, so it's an inherent flaw of VR/AR.

Yes, although the benefit of a strictly AR device would be that since it takes less processing power, it would be a smaller, thinner and lighter (and less expensive) device. So there are trade offs for both.

There's only three features to AR and all three are missing from all current projects.

Reliable general object recognition so that data can be put onto normal things,

an open-protocol data ecosystem that would allow banal data about the world to be shared,

and most importantly, stylish, high quality, unobtrusive glasses reasonably indistinguishable from normal eyeglasses.

Tldr all the things that would make AR awesome are things we can't do.

Makes sense to call it “mixed” if It can perform both VR AND AR. On that note it actually sounds like an improvement as opposed to exclusively AR which would overlay digital to a real world display or even a feed.

Apple’s cash reserves have dropped by over half in two years, from $100b to $48b.

AR is apparently a very expensive solve.

Apple doesn't have anything...
