@finickydesert no doubt about it!
The same cost of a high end PC, even a Mac!
Hopefully this makes other vendors to start competing more agressively and technology breakthroughs happen more rapidly... And eventually more accessible prices
Yea. My intuitive feeling was that Apple underestimated how intrinsically awkward the essential product of a VR headset is, didn’t realise until they were too far in, and decided to just power through.
I’m guessing it makes business sense to them because they have services now that put content on screens, so giving people more ways to watch stuff on screens makes sense to them as a form of synergy. But that presumes people will use the thing at all.
The gaming side is really cool, but VR is also used in some children's hospitals in a number of clinical trials to help lower pain/stress in pediatric patients, so it definitely has some uses outside of the gaming side. I'm looking forward to other uses like this and how the whole thing eveolves.
