oh god, where do I even start?
first of all, the whole article reeks of bias and entitlement. “I don’t like VR so other people shouldn’t have it!!”
then, it all sounds like this guy never even tried any VR headset, or maybe he puked copiously after his first test.
and he’s constantly baiting and switching: “tim cook only interest is in squeezing money from us rather than releasing new products!!”, and right after “tim cook released a new product and it SUCKS!! even my mother said it!”
I bought a Rift CV1 in 2016, I’ve been waiting for some real VR since the first time I tested a rudimentary headset at a tech convention in 1996 playing Doom and some other VR game. it’s sick. I love it. I spent 10 hours a day in the headset during the first month, then I discovered simracing and it was an absolute blast. But the CV1 suffered the lack of direction outside of gaming. the screens were way too low resolution, it needed a powerful PC, it needed cameras, it needed joysticks, had no pass through so all of this stuff really didn’t make it for an optimal experience outside of gaming. I’ve ever since dreamed a way to use VR to work, and it seems like apple did it… or at least is in the process to.
Apple is not Google, so the Vision Pro is not going away. they’ll keep on refining it and bring it forward because that’s the future. you can’t judge it by now, we’re 5-10 years ahead of mass adoption of this tech, but we can already see what’s going to become.
unfortunately the tech suffered a big, big blowback caused by the boom of cryptocurrencies… we’ve all been waiting for more powerful graphic cards in order to cheaply manage VR, but nVidia was more concerned about making easy bucks selling to bitcoin farms rather than serving their loyal customers… and so VR took a hit around 2020 due to lack of cheap availability.
Facebook created the quest in order to detach their product from the whims of a terrible company like Nvidia, and that has somehow helped. but the Quest is and remains an entertainment product, not something that you can rely on for working.
I think the Vision Pro will be a revolution for those doing 3D modeling, or even programming. When the guy in the article says “you’ll get isolated in your tech!!” I think he knows he’s full of bullshit, because cubicles DO exist and people working at a PC screen is now more isolated than ever.
maybe his job is typing rants from the couch of a hotel on his iphone?
Good or not, it'll always be a walled garden, so supporting them just promotes their bullshit.
You people crack me up. Such a small little bubble you live in while pointing fingers about being in a bubble.
If you can’t see the purpose of an eco system that sucks.
To lock customers in, to make others feel excluded, all leading to more profits... It's simple, everything they do is to try and make you buy their shit by making it inoperable with everything else..
I completely forgot about this thread.
This made me laugh out loud. Apple doesn’t give a shit if you or anyone else feels excluded. They are not sitting around thinking about how to exclude people rofl. Allowing a product to make me feel excluded is wild as fuck.
Yes they want you to buy their product so they make their other products work well with each other. OMG like OMG. What a business idea.
I wrote out a bunch of other stuff explaining how designing and engineering works well if it’s focused and can be good but damn it’s not worth it. Sorry you can’t see light through the bubble.
Sorry you're riding that Apple dick so hard 🤷🏻♀️
lol can’t even formulate a reasoned argument. Go right into that insulting. Sound like a trumper.
Yeah, I've said this plenty times before, there's no reasoning with the dick riders. They love to be abused and will die defending their megacorp God. It's pretty pointless.. It's like arguing with an Elon rider..
Wow. You’re really really sad. I feel bad for your parents for having to raise you.
Boo hoo hoo..
You keep ridin' partner
I will keep buying the products I buy. Yes. You keep being a sad person who can’t formulate arguments. I hope you find some friends some day.
Will do captain rider!
Edit: lol, I also love how you devolve to personal insults when all I said was that you were riding that Apple dick. To be expected though. Have fun riding out there brother.
You really suck at this.
