Perhaps I’ll have some magical transformational experience trying it on, but I just don’t understand this headset at all.
Apple had a chance to pitch why I should care, and they came up short. Why is this better?
“But imagine a future form factor!”
Okay, well if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bike.
They compared it to the original Mac, iPod and iPhone.
But on day 1 those products were immediately and obviously better than anything that came before them.
Mac? An easy to use computer.
iPod? A better Walkman.
iPhone? A computer to go!
What does this do for us?
@phill They seem to have purposely excluded a lot of VR/AR type of demos and focused instead on using mostly 2d apps in a virtual workspace.
I think this was intentional. They want to sell this as a laptop replacement without screen size limitations. All the other stuff will be a bonus: Gaming. AR/VR specific applications etc.
The challenge, IMO, is going to be the App Store. If it doesn’t allow arbitrary software downloads like the Mac, it can never replace a Mac.
@phill I think the pitch was a big desktop computer to go.
Not mobile as in iPhone (yet) but more like a a laptop replacement that’s a desktop replacement as well.
