I was hoping to see Apple Glasses before the VR headset, which would make more sense. Apple should test the waters with something like Apple Glasses and then develop that concept further when it comes to a full VR headset.

AR is much harder than most people realize. On both the hardware and software/content sides. I see this as a platform to discover and develop yet to be imagined experiences.

I am by far not an apple fan at all! However the M2 chips would be amazing for VR and apple really does put out good products its just notmally way over priced. But with apples ability to create inovative hardware I think they truly have the potential to bring something to the table.

Apple’s take on this stuff will be so wildly different from (and superior to) meta’s, there’s a serious chance we could be looking at another blackberry situation in the making.
Only difference being blackberry was at least successful with their offerings before Apple came and rewrote their entire book.

VR CAMERAS. Apple sells a huge amount of phones each year, and it would be smart of them to announce that next year’s model will include the ability to record footage that will look best in a VR headset. 180+ degree 3D “vr” footage from every new iphone. They could partner with instagram or tiktok to have a VR-feed, where people who post VR footage have a new “feed” people can scroll through. That, combined with the fact that we’ll create lots of home videos and other content that will look better in VR that we’ll want to show our friends and family to convince them they need one too.
It isn’t until we, the masses, are CREATING OUR OWN CONTENT, that there will be ENOUGH content to warrant putting the headset back on every day. If you don’t use it every day, it won’t catch on. Then, AFTER it has caught on, will Hollywood and Sports networks, TRULY compete for that market, not as a licensed gimmick, but as a chance to win over market share.

If the price ever gets reasonable (sub $500) I would use the headset every day to stream video content (Live TV, movies, etc). Also if it doesn’t look too dorky, it would be useful in AR mode while walking around a city. Walking directions. Business websites. Local Weather. The list goes on.

While I loved your points I still think the biggest way it can win people over is one you didn’t mention. That it using it as multiple monitors. I can only imagine how cluttered my workspace would get, going from having way too many tabs to having multiple screens where everywhere I look is somthing different, lol.

Apple could do it buy simply making a version of Logic Pro X for it and positioning it as a must have device for music producers for things like have virtual instruments that you could play or replicating world class master studios I usually use vr to play games like job simulator

Headset’s tragic flaw: Siri. Not A. I. Recorded scripts.
“Here’s what I found on the web.” Not going to cut it.
Apple has to release the control paradigm and bring A. I. onboard with the headset. Else, money down the tube.

If apple gave us access to PCVR games (wireless streaming) we PC enthusiasts would buy it. But they won’t cause apple is apple and want to control all the content

If it had 3d interactions with the gorgeous & humorous Bridget then that would definitely give me the tingles😊 & definitely worth 3k lol, seriously though it would have to be extraordinarily advanced with a full FOV and pin sharp high resolution graphics with 120fps minimum. But battery tech is still severely lagging so hopefully we have a breakthrough in battery tech soon

How about online shopping. Instead of using fossil fuels to go everywhere and anywhere just to do shopping- VR! Imagine how the companies would enjoy far less returns simply because “it isn’t/wasn’t what I wanted” or “It doesn’t fit”! (Without driving up the costs of everything!!!!!)!!!!!

I believe that VR technology is probably the closest thing to a ‘Time Machine’ as I’m ever likely to get. Therefore, I bought both 1&2 Oculus Quests hoping they would deliver but was disappointed. I want that ‘killer’ VR moment when I can put on an Apple headset with combined 8k resolution and CONVINCINGLY travel back through time to a bygone era- say Jack the Ripper’s London and feel what it was like to be a resident when those historical murders were taking place in foggy, lamp lit cobblestoned Whitechapel. I’m 60 years and want mature experiences, not gaming- I’ve bought a handful, but they quickly failed to engage me. I effectively want a VR ‘Time Machine’ similar to the Starship Enterprise’s ‘HOLODECK’! – but on my head with minute detail via full resolution as though I was REALLY there. Or visit Ancient Rome’s citizenry and a Colosseum spectacle etc. Developers please come up with an App. for this!!

They have to let Steam VR games in, just going to ignore PC VR gamers, isn’t that what VR originally started for? No steam I’ll wait for the quest 3 or HTC’s

Apple has already said they don’t care about VR, it’s all about AR. Not sure why all this coverage keeps referring to a VR headset. Maybe I’ll eat my words, but I think people will be very surprised (per usual) by the product and services Apple actually ships with this. And they’ll follow the same approach as with the Apple Watch when it comes to product-market fit. The biggest initial value areas will be gaming (Apple Arcade), productivity and sports/tv. But we shall see.

The one thing that I want to see in an Apple VR headset is that they don’t mess it up. I want it to make people interested in VR instead of making them write it off like they did with 3D TVs.

This is a weird launch they are doing. most of their previous hit product line successes were remakes:
– iPod: took pre-existing and successful portable music industry and made their own mp3 player
– macbook: took pre-existing and successful computer industry and made their own portable version
– iPhone: took pre-existing and successful macbook and ipod (internet browsing and music) and mobile cell phone concept and put it into one singular product
– apple watch: just took the widely used concept of a watch and combined it with their iphone which was already successful (although this wasn’t an immediately success it is now)
– airpods: headphones already existed…. they just made their own pair that was also wireless
but this VR is going into an industry that’s already seemingly semi-failing in what may be a fad or it may be the future. excited to see what happens… big flop? or big success?
