They did mention Apple Arcane games and being able to play Unity games didn't they?
Yeah. By VR gaming headset people generally mean a headset that effectively acts as a monitor and input for your gaming PC or console.
Came to say the same thing…

It was a trial run and was used in the field for engineering maintenence.
Things like have schematics and drawings up while doing a repair. Doing a live assessment on a video call with live annotations.
In the end woe were looking for things to do with instead of it being a tool we needed for a job. I was happy to see the back of it when I returned it. It was cumbersome and not helpful for our use case.
If I was in the market for a new home office work PC and new monitors (I'm maybe 2/3/4 years away) and this looks as good as I think it might become, then yeah. The price is about the same.
Bye bye desk and office chair. Hello arm chair.
Seeing as my eyesight is fading but I don't wear glasses *yet*, that it's possible to put prescription lenses in is good too.

Haha Yea
Thanks, that makes sense and confirms my initial skepticism.

Yes, if it works as well as the videos demonstrated, I would buy it.
Having said that, I am wondering if this will reach the UK. I have a feeling as it is only USA initially that it might be gen2 that goes global.
Maybe it is just due to manufacturing rates, but felt, with the long release date, that this may be a beta model in effect, bit like the first Google Glasses.
It is expensive, but as I commented elsewhere there are plenty of us spending similar amounts on PCs and other tech, or foreign holidays.
In the meantime, I’ve bought a Quest 2 to try…

Apple is already bidding for coverage of sports leagues (mostly in the US), could be part of their long-term plans.

I think things like this make sense, as it'll bring adoption rates up for kit like this, when there are feasible, every day uses such as watching sports, or playing games etc - I'm super interested in the educational aspect at the moment.
but but...
Monitor is different to AR/VR. You definitely need higher for AR/VR to make the experience natural.

Samsung has been working on a competing headset
But after Applenunveiled the vision pro, Samsung realised their headset was too far behind the features Apple was capable of and the headset couldn't be salvaged so the thing was scrapped and now Samsung is working on a new headset that's closer to what Apple is doing
This Samsung headset was going to use an Exynos 2200 SoC, which is very underpowered compared to the dual SoCs in the vision pro
