The price immediately put this product into the grave. They should take out all the useless features like the eye passthrough, or the bizarre face scanning, if it’ll only ever be used for calls. If this were to be used in a gaming scenario, sort of like what the PSVR2 does, that’d be a whole different conversation

The front screen is what no one wants in a cheaper version. Don’t cut back on sound and cameras ffs

That’s what they were SO close to getting. Solutions like Xreal Air and Viture are just much more comfortable and less isolating.

Was about to comment this. Those products are actually usable versions of apples vr. And they can be used with any device. Apples use case is so narrow that other companies overtook them out of the gate.

Apple Vision Pro is the best virtual sandbox headset.

Almost nobody needs the best virtual sandbox headset.

Viture looks neat, still missing some things I want to see but they seem to understand what this kind of device needs

nickwitha_k ,

Curious from your perspective what you’d like to see. From mine, Viture and Xreal are nearly perfect, with the exception of Xreal failing to be supportive of open APIs.

I like that the viture has dimming, lens adjustment, an optional android based neckband device, and miracast is neat, etc.

If all you want is a compact screen that’s pretty good, and I’m considering getting one, but I want to see some more stuff like integration with your other devices. I see they have remote desktop stuff for gaming, etc, but I’m thinking a bit deeper integration like using a phone app to relay notifications like a HUD, and I want a bit more spatial awareness (might need to rely on stuff like radio beacons for that like UWB). The navigation also seems to rely on either your phone, buttons on the neckband, or a paired 3rd party controller (no official wireless controller), you could make it a bit easier with something that’s maybe keychain sized?

Imagine if the headset could piggyback on your phone’s AR support + UWB direction finding to let your phone calculate where it is relative to the world, then relay it to the headset which calculate its offset to tell where IT is in the world, it would immediately make Google Maps Live View infinitely more immersive (and overlays don’t need to be perfect, just need to not drift by too many degrees). It would probably be annoying to have to keep scanning with your phone to keep the map accurate though 🤷

It would take a miracle.

I made the right choice back in 2019 when they were recruiting optimechanics experts. It’s a dumb idea.

potustheplant ,

Weird flex, but ok.

echodot ,

Yeah right. Surely it would have been a good idea to take the money for the last 5 years.

werefreeatlast ,

Why? I got a way better job that I like and it has no end in sight. I could retire on this one. Maybe.

Good for sticking to something you believe in. Highly underrated quality in engineers. “Take the money and run like a thief” is such a bullshit attitude

werefreeatlast ,

Yeah the best jobs are all about doing something you like. The moment you stop caring much about being employed there, quality drops and your own reputation is on the line. It’s much better to do what you love. Getting paid 🤪 for it, that’s my wife’s job. She pushed me in the negotiation phase to the point where I was so uncomfortable. But now I feel like that was ok based on the change I brought to others in the company. My pay bump raised the pay for several others. But anyway, do what you love and get paid doing it, like Chris Rock said once…or twice while getting paid to say it.

Im not an engineer but I am in development. I will do the best I can to make as good a product as I can based on the requirements but when it comes to what I will work on I am a total whore. Show me the money and tell me what you want honey. Ill do anything for the right price. No weapon stuff though.

If they can’t get the headset to fit the size and weight of swimming goggles, I don’t think it can get mass adoption
