Excited or curious about the Vision Pro? Let’s discuss it here.

This has largely been my take also. The technology in it is phenomenal. But the use cases they demonstrate especially from the consumer side make me question if we want wearing goggles to be normalized in society.
Even with Eyesight, I’d feel awkward wearing this around my family.
My kids have bought 2 different VR headsets for the Sony Playstation. They hardly ever use them. And games was the big use case for this.
Microsoft recently laid off their entire hololens team.
VR is a category that’s dying.
This is like Apple’s Newton. Phenomenal technology that isn’t in the right form-factor for consumer adoption.
I was skeptical. But I find it interesting that Apple never even tried to position the headset as a gaming device. They hardly ever even showed it in VR mode. Pretty much all the use cases they showed revolved around productivity and using it as computing device more than entertainment. Whether it works as advertised obviously still stands to be seen but it got me interested enough that I’ll try to buy one.
