I get that there are people who are into this stuff, but honestly, I can't think of a single use for myself, unless the movie watching experience is really, really good.

I'm never going to wear a thing like this in public, and at home, I have my laptop and TV. The TV I'm usually watching with someone else, and this is worse than the laptop...so what's my use case?

They should sell it to Apple. I wouldn't buy this from Meta, but I would buy it from Apple.

I'd guess Apple are already hard at work making something similar and better than this.

They probably are, but this is what vision Pro should have been. It seems that Apple are behind. By months? By years?

In any case, that transaction is not going to happen because Zuck thinks he can actually make it work. It's just what I think they should do.

You would pay three times as much for the same product?

Presumably Apple could do it cheaper than Meta, since they could assume higher volume and are more valued by suppliers.

I'm not going to buy it from Meta, but what I'm saying is that at the same price I would buy it from Apple. I'm far from the only one.

They theoretically could, but they would never do it, as we see with the Vision Pro, which is, apart from being far heavier, also far more expensive.

Unfortunately the appeal for these glasses has dropped once someone dubbed them, "pervert glasses" and it stuck around.

That's not even the same product line...

This as a fully open source device or at least from a company worth trusting would be a great product.

SteamFrame it is! As far as I can tell the SteamFrame lets you install a different OS.

I really hope they’ll care a little more about using this for productivity. I wish the quest 3s would work offline eg. on a plane as my external monitor for my MacBook.

In the keynote they said it supports DisplayPort over USB-C, so this should work great.

Yeah infinite office was vaporware, which made sense since prior meta device video res and ppd was too low for work.

you can't touch type without any tactile feedback. you just can't. there's no way to position your hands correctly relative to a keyboard you can't feel. that part of the "productivity" demo drives me bananas.

I'm not a fan on Meta at all, but so glad that they did this to challenge Apple and hopefully would be able to keep on improving far better than Apple.
