overkill.wtf
crazyCoconuts1091d ago

Yeah clearly not designed primally for gaming

kickerz1091d ago

Whatever happened to Microsofts Augmented reality glasses? That came out years ago and no one really cared lol. I guess that tech is pretty cool. Not $3500 cool though.

kneon1091d ago

Hololens was never going to live up to the hype. I've used them quite a bit when I was working in VR and they are interesting, but getting a clear consistent image in AR glasses is probably impossible. The only way is to design it like a vr headset but with a camera so you can overlay on top of the captured video stream.

Extermin8or3_1090d ago

Microsoft cancelled it completely recently and laid off pretty much everyone involved in its development.

Extermin8or3_1090d ago

Yeah and yet it costs almost 4k loool

OneLove1090d ago

Extermin8or3_ a quick Google search says they haven't canceled it lmao wtf you on?

Bobertt1090d ago

Also it's $3500 so overpriced as usual from Apple. Maybe in 5-10 years it will be worth it.

The "PSVR2 is too expensive" articles died that day.

JEECE1091d ago

Except everyone writing those articles probably spends over $1000 on apple products every year anyway, so I'm sure "the apple quality is worth it."

Umb1091d ago

The way I see it, the price is justifiable in Apples eye's is because there's the 'PRO' word attached to the product.

That there is an automatic extra $1000!!!

StormSnooper1090d ago (Edited 1090d ago )

the crazy thing about the "PSVR2 too expensive" articles is that they did not even make mathematical sense. They were comparing apples to oranges.

DarXyde1090d ago

Yeah.

You won't see my defending Apple and their crazy price points, but I do have a MacBook Pro and I think it's worth it for the sheer productivity value and app suite (I mainly do research, but I also write/publish, do project management, and data analysis). Idk, it just works for my work.

Do I hate their outlandish prices? Yep! They're good and well out of their minds.

VariantAEC1085d ago

@StormSnooper
More accurately, they were comparing Apple's to PlayStation's.

This is the same company that charges you $700 for a set of fucking wheels

The last time I gave Apple any money was for an Apple ][, and that will be the last time

bloop1090d ago

@kneon: Jesus H Christ that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

Eidolon1091d ago

What'd you expect from Apple. they sell a monitor stand for $1000.

fr0sty1091d ago

$3499 and it won't fit over your glasses, so you'll have to fork over even more for special lenses.

Profchaos1090d ago

A products value and worth is subjective a 100k tractor seems pointless to a office worker.

But in this instance Apple has been sniffing their own farts again

DarXyde1090d ago

Unfortunately, I doubt that.

Never underestimate their enthusiasts. They'll likely make a killing in San Francisco, Denver, and New York City alone.

roadkillers1090d ago

At $3500, will any store stock it? The most returned item to Best Buy has to be the VR headsets..

sparky771091d ago

I will wait until the non pro version releases for $1000 but this would be good for someone who doesn't own a Mac or a TV and is likely the only way VR/AR ever become mainstream.

DOMination-1091d ago

Honestly the Vision Pro was never intended to be a mass-market consumer product.

This is more aimed at developers but with the long-term goal of eventually getting the form factor down to a pair of regular looking glasses. As someone with not the best eyes, the health features being touted down the road, automatic lens adjustment and of course advances in AR tech means I'm interested in that end product. Unfortunately, even for Apple, that's probably a decade away.

Having another player in the market will hopefully encourage everyone to push on with this tech to get to that end goal. It has the potential to be as important as the smartphone.

Grilla1090d ago

It’s about the apps also, by the time it goes mainstream it’ll have a decent library of apps ready to go.

Profchaos1090d ago (Edited 1090d ago )

I'd understand that argument if they showed it off in a work environment similar to the hololense but this was basically hey look you can play games and see your photos and watch it on a plane while looking like a total tool we know you want it because we put a logo on it.

If the product isn't picked up by a market segment it will die then all these ideas will never trickle down to an affordable price point.

DOMination-1090d ago

"It’s about the apps also, by the time it goes mainstream it’ll have a decent library of apps ready to go."

Yes exactly , hence why it was announced at the WorldWide Developers Conference. This is a stepping stone to releasing something far more consumer friendly in future. And during that transition, they get to work with third parties to build into their ecosystem.

"I'd understand that argument if they showed it off in a work environment similar to the hololense"

HoloLens journey actually went the other way imo. It started off with big ideals of being a big consumer product before Microsoft established what most others have - it's a cool bit of tech that doesn't really solve problems that the majority of people have. It was even shown at E3, not once but twice to demonstrate games. Then it was put on the same shelf as Illumiroom, never to be seen again.

shadowT1091d ago

they said psvr 2 is too expensive

Jin_Sakai1091d ago

PSVR2 isn’t AR, is tethered to a console, doesn’t have Micro OLED, doesn’t have dedicated audio, has lower resolution, isn’t as bright, and most importantly is a mass market product in which the Vision Pro is not.

mkis0071090d ago

I mean you get what you pay for with psvr2 though...With apple that's never a sure thing...see wheels for $700 and stand for $1000.

1Victor1090d ago

@jin: “PSVR2 isn’t AR, is tethered to a console”

Did you missed the presentation and just skip to the psvr2 attack mode?🤷🏿
The device is tether to a power line or you could buy their power bank for a 2 hours “roaming free”

AngainorG7X1090d ago

@Jin
Vision Pro is AR, don’t bother, they don’t get it

DOMination-1090d ago

"Did you missed the presentation and just skip to the psvr2 attack mode?🤷🏿

Sorry, I don't want to come across as aggressive but that's missing the point entirely. The Vision Pro has both M2 and R1 Apple silicon chips inside. It IS the computer. It runs everything natively. PSVR2 is a completely different type of device. Just because they are worn on your head, doesn't mean they should be compared. If you can't understand the difference in price, then you are the one who needs to watch the presentation again.

Most expensive potential gaming rig ever.

Anomander1089d ago

Except name a big time Apple Game you that have to play and tell me it’s worth $3500? Apple is great at launching new product lines and getting Mass adaptation. The problem with this is I think they priced themselves out and it’s not consumer ready.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio31d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing31d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit31d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing31d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
