2:32 How Apple Will Launch AR/VR
4:47 Scott’s Take
9:45 Final Thoughts
Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
I think apple is gonna drop ideas that everyone wants but nobody thought about yet, then build a monopoly around the software. Same as the iphone.
Apple is going to report the worst quater till date and they will push back on VR again.
For AR, I would like to see anchoring support, HUD features, increased focus and/or zoom when squinting, and existing AR attractions in the broader world. Plus everything any standard AR/VR headset can do, which is hardly a big ask after how long it’s taken to finally be getting revealed.
Who’s going to want to workout and get all sweaty with a headset on? I don’t see that being too popular. I think the game changer will be A.R. I believe AR glasses will eventually replace our phones as our main screen
Great report , & not only the apple apps but also the proccessor 💐
There is no AR/VR headset or Car. AR/VR is pretty much useless piece of garbage.
3k psh yea aiigh goodluck
This product is not going to go well for Apple. No one cares about VR, Meta Quest Pro, Magic Leap… we hardly want an iPad any more too😩 Apple, just make the Car, make a TV, I would even take a Apple no-code app builder.
Apple will undoubtedly make a great device. But what Meta has done and achieved shouldn't be ignored. They made VR accessible and affordable for the mainstream and now they are reinvesting to make the next gen headsets. Say what you will about them, but this can't be overlooked.
I want ! Much Lighter headset , better fov, a bit better screen and I’m sold
if Apple has a payment plan just like iPhone, I'm in, yesterday. I'd love AR options of background sounds+visuals for relaxation or focus, like oceanview+binaural beats, or my favorite ASMRtists. In VR I'd like quality haptics for partner dancing, martial arts, other not-standing-in-place fitness, maybe a way of making Zoom calls feel more like being in someone's presence. I'm sure that's possible 5-10yrs from now (if we don't run out of air, water and food first).
Whichever company can 1st crack all-day comfort and battery (swappable would be fine) + privacy (glares pointedly at Zuck) + high-res display and passthrough + flawless hand-tracking across apps can pretty much count on my money and nearly name their price ($3k, though . . . oof. maybe). I was so wrong to be focused on gaming/immersive experiences. I feel like we're actually a lot closer to the productivity and digital interfacing meeting expectations, even though most of the industry's energy has been on immersion. A great productivity headset would allow me to do what I do, anyway–spend most of my time on a computer–but way more comfortably, flexibly, and powerfully. Like, straight up, I'm sick of being desk-bound to use my PC or straining my neck staring down at my mobile device screens. I want to be able to travel with large, multimonitor setups without all the weight and expense and setup of doing that the traditional way. I want to be able to pace a room while I work on music production. I want to be able to lay on my back in bed and watch tv on a cinema screen with 0 strain. I want to quickly bring my whole virtual monitor setup in line with my gaze if I lean back in an office chair or stand up or tilt to my side on a sofa. I want to quickly load different monitor workspace presets (with sizes, positions, and open app windows) for different tasks. I want to keep my Youtube video playing while I do a mundane task like load the dishwasher. I want to be able to position and move my arms more naturally to avoid tablet elbow and keyboard wrist strain, while maintaining easy, fast text and navigation input. I want to pull any number of pseudo-touchscreens onto whatever surface I'm nearby to work with a Photoshop brush like pen-and-paper or to control the mixer in a DAW or the knobs on a synth or the playback controls, timeline, and tools in a video editor. VR/AR has a reputation for being uncomfortable but the potential to be way more comfortable than these very position-locked ways we have of using computing devices.
In other words, I think we're way closer to VR becoming an amazingly flexible and ergonomic productivity and digital interface tool than an immersive life-simulator, and honestly, I've come around to believing that's almost as exciting. Meta is trying to make that pivot, but they're completely untrustworthy for the task. It's pretty dubious to trust any corporation with high-res cameras on your face all day, but I'll take Apple over Zuck.
"come and touch grass with me" 😂
I'm gonna use that.
My humble opinion – no VR, but AR. No headset, but glasses – and for what? Face recognition will help identify people I may know, but I am not sure, so it will help me know their names. Navigation. Those two small things in the corner of my eye would sell it.
Apple vr and psvr2 are gonna be sweet!
The iPad is still just a giant iPhone and the headset will cost a fortune and be limited to the App Store
Apple touch max
It's going to have to be something incredibly special for me to take the slightest interest in it
Bridgett has very pretty eyes!
THIS SOUNDS LIKE HUD
Probably they will talk about Fitness and Productivity (more free floating screns) and of course mention entertainment.
I think apple will make the iphone able to take 3D pictures and videos so you could see it with the vr/ar headset
OMG, forget Apple VR, it is taking way, way, too long
"I need this" – nobody
Apple has big plans for Health and eye tracking is one of the best inputs for so many signals other than what’s actually seen in the headset. I feel that they just need to give people an excuse to put this on their faces so that they’d start giving better health data back, perhaps even of psychological nature.
That touching grass part was HILARIOUS! 🤣
who ever this journalist is… maybe she shouldn't invite people to explain how things ill go down if she will tell them to "wrap it up" like gurlllll homie doing you a solid and you over here telling him to wrap it up? smh also the fact that the editing team left that in speaks volume of the work environment at CNET.
It needs to interact with and meld with the screens you already use in the apple ecosystem. A Ui that emulates aspects of your iphone, apple watch, ipad, macbook, and mac but enhances them though Augmented Reality.
I love you and your videos Bridget! You are THE best. $3K is way way too much for the average consumer. It would have to be below $600 to really sell.
Why does she makes so many gestures with her face? It’s exhausting just watching her
iGlass
I would use it for fitness +
