Gonna be wearing a $3500 head computer while doing menial tasks around the house, as the average normal person does. But then also I'll be wearing it while driving like a psycho.

Imagining being fully into immersive mode on a plane while watching a movie for 2 hours and then getting jolted out of it by the person next to me grabbing my arm Sounds like hell.

BRB, making an extended battery battery pack that doubles as a weight-lifting belt. Extends battery life to 6 hours and the headset can track your form and reps.

I'm not even mad at the price. I'm mad because it looks like you only get flat 2-D gaming, and all their demos looked like something the Quest line already delivers.

Man that part where the lady was sitting in her living room and then her daughter comes in and tries to connect and this weirdo lady just keeps the goggles on. It’s so hosed up. It was like they were trying to emphasise how weird it is.

The reality is that the most exciting thing from WWDC was the change to replying to people in messages, I hated the tapback thing.

Yeah it's not the hardware/form factor I'm mad about, it's the fact that their demo was floating windows. They're doing what PocketPC phones were doing right before the iPhone came out and redefined the experience. Also lol at not acknowledging what the goggled person looks like on facetime (unless I missed it because I had to... jump on a work Teams call).

For $3500 I would need the OS to be much closer to MacOS than iOS/iPadOS. I've tried using my iPad as a work machine and it's bad. The only gaming it showed was like flat screen gaming with a controller. No Eleven Table Tennis? No thrill of the fight? The movie watching looks cool and I do watch TV/movies by myself fairly often but I also often do that with other people so it's not like this replaces my TV and stereo. It's a cool device but it's $3500 and it doesn't replace my laptop, doesn't replace my Oculus, and doesn't replace my A/V setup. Tough sell.

The external battery supports up to 2 hours of use, and all‑day use when plugged in.1

Boris Galerkin posted:2 hours on charge iirc Alright, so to be faaaaair. I read somewhere that it's a USB-C charging cable that goes into a battery. The Apple Battery is 2 hours. There is nothing stopping you from getting a big USB-C external battery and plugging it into that. Still LMAO at $3,500. For that price just throw in 2 batteries of different sizes you cheap fucks

The battery life doesn't bother me because there is no way I'll spend 2+ hours wearing that thing on my face. I just can't think of a cool MR experience that sells me on spending $3500.
