Welcome to the Vision Pro, Apple’s most complex piece of hardware yet. So complicated that we’ll need more than one teardown to tackle it. First up: Those creepy eyes.
A real semi-transparent mask with a projector with a computer with an open architecture would really be a cool thing. Wouldn’t be VR or AR, of course. Just projecting text and lowres pictures, like Google Glass. But I’d like that, to be frank. Only not just for one eye, that’d cause headaches and anxiety.
It’s a gimmick, that’s all it ever was. Meant to make this look like a sleeker device than it is with some clever marketing.
Typical Apple. Sad when they do that when a much sleeker device or a much better experience actually exists. Like in 2007, ya knaw …
That type of display just isn’t feasible at the moment. We are close, quite close. Likely only a few years away. But at the moment, the only stuff coming close to it would cost at least ten times more than apples already inflated price.
Offtopic - this thing’s ad (by its structure or mood or something) reminded me of a render made by some fan long ago, where there’d be a little thingie (the supposed product) with an unrollable white screen or maybe two (another for keyboard and mouse, but I don’t remember). The thingie would have projectors and lidars and a PC inside, so it’d project the display, the keyboard and some area to be used like a touchpad, and scan fingers hitting that area.
Lots of stuff could go wrong, and Apple has long stopped trying to attract that kind of relatively geeky people, but it’s better and maybe saner than wearing what the article is about.
