it didn’t support gaming which is basically what a VR headset is for
Yeah i dont know. Its a tool/technology. It found a somewhat stable market in gaming and lots of its development is tied to the gaming sector. But saying that is basically what its there for is underestimating its future potential by a lot.
It was also not meant to be VR but rather pass through AR (smart approach for now as optical AR is still not as high fidelity)
Literally every other VR headset was a superior option, and apples attempt to rebrand the product as “spatial computing” just confused everyone.
Again, thats not what they were going for. Cook is apparently super excited about AR & spatial computing and kinda jumped the gun a bit if you ask me. But this was no “Oh no the gamers wont buy it because of the quest or the index etc., quick rebrand it as a spatial computing device”
This stuff is going to fundamentally change how we interact with technology in the next 100 years but apple adapting things when they had their kinks worked out and are ready for a broad audience made it a confusing product coming from them.
Yeah absolutely. Baffles me too. Wo knows, maybe cook just let his nerdy side get a little bit too excited and forgot to think about customer value.
But I gotta be honest, (even as a non apple user) apple throwing their weight behind this shit makes me feel hopeful that at some point people will feel enticed to actually solve problems with the tech. Im biased though as you can probably tell (◔‿◔)
