I’m really looking forward to what they bring in the 3d space. As someone who loves 3d content and makes it myself this makes me very exited. The headset of course is prohibitively expensive. I own almost every vr headset from the cardboard and up, but I’ll never get the vision pro. I really hope enough people do though so that the tech can progress and become affordable for normal people.
It’s also been limited to the US only so that’s going to reduce the number of sales.
I get why they are doing it, because of the custom fitting, but it’s not like Europe doesn’t have Apple stores.
I don’t think the reason has anything to do with custom fitting. Apple has stores all over, just like in the U.S. I reckon the main issue is Sony being unable to produce more than 400,000 headsets worth of displays in year one which naturally makes an international release difficult
I have a set of xreal glasses and 3d youtube videos, the only real source of easily available 3d content I have, and 3d works amazing on them. Having each eye have its own display will make 3d content look so much better. Much less the advanced screens and the apple polish they put into everything. While I’m never gonna buy into the apple ecosystem I do hope they can user in this type of 3d content because it can be great.
Oh no … 3D …
I hope it doesn’t suck. I’ve really loved the sense of scale in the 2014 Godzilla-movie by Gareth Edwards. I hope they don’t cheapen the aestethic any more
Apple works hard to make sure they don’t seem cheap. Their content has been top notch. But it can be really easy for 3D to make a movie worse. I think you’re right to be nervous.
I’m inclined to think 3D makes movies worse because it’s only typically used for gimmicky effects partially limited by the active/passive glasses. When you’re wearing a full visor and your entire field of vision is essentially “generated”, the illusion of 3D should become much more immersive than what could be offered by a red/blue or active shutter glasses.

It makes sense that this could be really cool. But when it’s rendered for 2D screens it still needs to look great and not feel gimmicky.
Oh well let’s hope I’m wrong
Fuck yea
