Eh, it’s mostly a liability thing. Cameras make insurance companies very happy

My specific use case is an IT professional that needs a lot of screen real estate but would prefer to live a more nomadic lifestyle. I’ve been toting portable monitors for a while and it works OK, but if something like this negates the need to do that it’d be awesome.

That’s why I’m saying it’s a niche product, but the thing is they aren’t marketing it as anything else, and the price is ultimately pretty reasonable for brand new tech.

Edit: ima stupid. The “it” I’m referring to here isn’t the apple vision pro, that’s dumbassery. I’m referring to another headset called visor that will start shipping next year. In theory.

I can see a good use case if they make a decently functional lightweight headset that can replace multiple monitors, particularly for traveling

Normally I would agree, but the company developing the hardware are the guys that make immersed, which is the desktop integration software all the other VR headsets on the market are using. So if anyone is gonna make anything decent, maybe it’ll be them?

It seems good in theory, and comes in at like a quarter of the cost of apple’s monstrosity.

It’s also pretty niche, targeted at professionals who would use it to enhance their workspace than gaming.

Yeah they pay into the system but get no benefits

I hope you’re right but don’t think you are

They’d use border patrol

Nono that wasn’t a service contract, it was a payment plan on the phone. And you can’t cancel the service until you pay off the phone.

It’s different…. Really….
