I mean Apple is probably being extremely cautious after the current Meta Quest Pro debacle.

They have to absolutely land the software, which is why it is delayed and why the Quest Pro is struggling. Their biggest rival is floundering after putting a ton of resources into it, so you have the opportunity to slow down and make sure you nail it.

Investors were demanding Meta put out something after going all in on the “Metaverse” instead of the ad cash-cow. They pushed out the mediocre Quest Pro and I wouldn’t be shocked if Zuck “steps back” from Meta within the next year.

It is always funny reading comments like these as someone who is in the medical field. As the other comment stated, No, computers will not be replacing any pathologist or radiologist anytime soon. Medical imaging goes beyond just identifying a lesion on an image (and even that is very difficult cus lesions can look different from person to person). Clinical context is very important. AI will help streamline their work/make things a bit faster but it will not be replacing any specialists anytime soon.

AI has not even replaced truck drivers or McDonald’s workers fully and you think it can replace specialists that take a minimum of 10 years to train?

Only thing out there doing anything is the quest and for $400 it’s amazing but you really need a PC so after all that it’s like $1400 minimum. But even the quest 2 by itself is amazing. Truly hard to understand why it’s lower GFX are ok without trying it. VR is more about immersion than amazing GFX. Unless you have a PC.

I can name several departments across the country that are extremely short staffed, specifically with Pathologists. Their solution is to improve the efficiency of their current staff through these semi automated solutions. If you aren’t concerned about automation coming for these jobs, you probably are not talking with your finance department.

If you combine that with the automated nature of NGS and how it just spits out a report, this is where the industry is heading. Multiplexing is a similar story - no pathologists wants to look at these crazy complex slides all day scoring and counting. They can barely manage single color stains always complaining it hurts their eyes. At some point, the limitations of human diagnostics is going to be seen not just as a cost savings measure but a benefit to the patient. When that switch happens, although it can be gradual, it creates a profound shift in the industry that can spread rapidly.

Really? I thinking about selling my quest because I never use it. I use my index daily and got a quest because I found it on sale for $200 and thought it would be good for traveling. I just went away for a week, and brought my quest with me. It was so uncomfortable, and the tracking felt so terrible, graphics so bad that I couldn't play for more than 15 minutes before I decided I'd just rather be doing something else. Even when I use it for the purpose I bought it for, it's just not worth it wearing the damn thing imo. Honest to God I'd rather play on my cv1 for the better tracking alone. That might have to do with the type of game though. I play first person shooters where you need finely tuned tracking.

I know you get good graphics with pc, but it's still just way less comfortable, and the tracking is so much worse I would never use it over my index at home.

Not sute why the gpu is relevant, but I have a 3090ti.
