I doubt it’s for their fun headset since they’ve already abandoned it. I’m sure it’s going to be taking data for mapping or some other dumb bullshit with AI to describe what’s around you because you can’t fucking use your eyes.
I was trying to call out that dude as an idiot without getting flamed for it. Seems like they’re doing a great job of flaming themselves though. I knew it wasn’t abandoned.
This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.
In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.
Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.
the tech giant has suspended work on the next Vision Pro and is looking for ways to cut costs for a cheaper model that could ship by the end of next year
It absolutely does not. Which non-shitty version of their currently absolutely shitty headset did you think was going to be the magic one that actually works the way describe and advertise? Lolol
If you haven’t read or looked into this, it feels almost wrong to just boil it down for you.
Watch one of their stupid commercials about it, then see if it works at all the way they delict it working. It does not. All it is now is a wearable monitor for desktop viewing. Things it does not do while clearly depicted as such:
gaming
multimedia presentations
stream to other headsets
have ANY sharable user positioning data (local or GPS)
collaboration with other headset owners
wireless anything (it’s got a heavy ass battery pack)
literally has NONE of the apps that it had depicted it had in some presentations at initial dev announcement (Netflix, YouTube…etc), though they are usable in browser
Anyway, you get the idea. There’s more, but why bother.
I like shitting on Apple as much as the next guy but the Vision Pro is an impressive piece of gear from an engineering perspective. Unfortunately, much like pretty much all VR headsets before it, it is suffering from a lack of an ecosystem.
All Apple changed is to pivot away from a focus on bleeding edge high end hardware in this new segment and instead grow a userbase by means of a cheaper base product (likely missing one or two bells and whistles). Developers don’t like to produce apps for platforms nobody will use, even if they get thrown some money to do so, because it is a poor long term investment. So Apple’s best shot at this is to get Vision devices onto as many heads as possible.
It absolutely does. I’m not sure why you’re trying to spread misinformation, but Apple clearly hasn’t dropped VR or the Vision Pro, and your own source proves it.

Apple is so bad now. Ugh.
Abandoned it? What?
They’re just stopping development of the Pro to focus on the cheaper model so not necessarily abandoned

Why do you think the headset doesn’t work as described or advertised?
Its price is the main complaint I’ve seen.

You can play steam games on the Vision Pro via a PC.

I never said that. WTF are you talking about?
Yes you did. If you can’t remember your own words, you can literally just scroll up.
Yes. They did abandon work on the gaming and multimedia improved headset. What about that is wrong from the article?
