It won't. Sadly. Can't justify spending 3K on... family calls, tiresome multiscreen development environment, finally - games? Won't happen unfortunately.

> tiresome multiscreen development environment

...that fits in your bag. This is huge for folks like me that want to travel without lugging around a large display. If the visual integrity is there, it's gonna be worth it for me.

Yeah, the resolution will make it or break it for me. I tried working in a valve index using Simula and couldn't really get into it. Despite technically having much more screen space and screens, it felt like I was much more constrained.

exactly I don't know how many like 4k monitor is just sat in front of you and that physical device is only I don't know smaller than a 10 inch iPad so that's it's incredible

The scope for games on this is pretty narrow without the dual independently tracked controllers you get with the Quest/PSVR/etc.

They'd have to work with hand tracking (low accuracy, no buttons or sticks, no haptics) or a conventional console controller (limited immersion).

Nearly all existing VR games are built around dual controllers and would need significant reworking/compromises to be playable on the Vision Pro.

No clue, but I'd assume this is like any other pro Apple device that will have a bluetooth or some external device SDK and 3rd parties will make controllers for games.

You missed one, porn.

from my...market research...vr porn super disappointing.

This first version sure but if they're able to bring the costs down and maintain the relative power it's a pretty neat implementation of the idea.

maintain.... competition will catch up and/or will do it better for a lower cost. It took years for other companies to get close to iphone performance. But now Apple is entering an established market already where fb is throwing big bucks.

The original iPhone was also a bit of a waste of money so that doesn't really disprove their point.

iPhone was an immediate iPod/phone/web browser/email replacement on day one.

It’s day one utility was one of the best ever
