I think the head strap was really nice.

That's the only good thing I can say about the Apple Vision Pro.

They got really mad if you actually called it a VR headset though. It was a "spatial computer" lol

hell, remember when they made a car?

Remember when they made a charging mat?

wow they were working on it until 2024 and only stopped it for AI 🤣

they keep chasing after the trend

AR/VR is actually cool, but it’s just incredibly niche, for the foreseeable future, for so many reasons.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

My biggest problem is that I have to either order contacts or order special lenses just to use it. Trying to wear glasses in VR is very cumbersome and annoying, plus you risk scratching the lenses. They need to find a way to make the headset smaller and easier to wear, and have it automatically adjust to your vision as well (which will never happen until they gry rid of that pointless law that requires you to see an overpriced doctor every year to get a prescription.)

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Yeah, exactly!

I was thinking of motion sickness, too. VR/AR makes a huge fraction of people sick, literally.

I love VR even though it does take a while to get used to and moving around in it makes me super queasy after 20 minutes or so unless I am actually moving.

However, I find the most uncomfortable feeling comes from leaving VR after an extended time in it. It feels like you're dreaming and can't wake up. Everything just feels super weird for about an hour or two after taking the headset off.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

Gotcha. I'm like the Zuck in the sense that I don't get sickness in VR, so I forget that it's a major issue for most other people. Full joystick locomotion with all the motion sickness assists turned off is the only way to go for me. (They break immersion.) I never got headaches from 3D movies and games either. I really miss that era of PC gaming because the glasses were a lot less cumbersome than a headset.

I feel really bad for those who have motion sickness issues with games; happened to me one time when I was drinking too much one day and then made the mistake of hitting the live resin. So I completely get why those who suffer wouldn't want to touch VR. I sure wouldn't if that was my normal experience.

And the "metaverse" was going to be a thing

[–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

was that before AI and bitcoins were "inevitable"?

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think that was between bitcoins and NFTs

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The future is blockchain! Until it wasn't.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

And web 3! Or was it web 2.0?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What do you mean "remember"? Didn't the Apple VR headset launch only a year or two ago?

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

I don't remember

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 2 hours ago

OMG, I completely forgot about that thing.

Hey the Newton ruled.

It was just too far ahead of the hardware.
