Yeah and the overlay video thing - green screen without needing one basically!
This has been a packed hour (and no mention of a headset yet).

I’m extremely impressed by the screen on the front that shows your eyes.

Same, it turned out way better than I imagined from the rumors. Though I wonder what’s the expense that went in just enabling that feature!
I have to say… not quite as impressed or at least surprised/mind blown at the ‘dashboard’ and flat apps. It actually felt exactly like how Meta handles it. But no question the fidelity etc. will be big jumps forward.

this all seems too good to be true. i cant wait to see a demo of what this actually looks like.
If you have a headset on in FaceTime, how do others see you I wonder?

In FaceTime on Vision Pro, aren’t your guests going to be like “Uhhh…you have goggles on your face.”?

Whoa. Right back in a moment in time with 3d camera. That is wild.
I’m interested in what the people you’re FaceTiming with see?

They still haven’t sold us on what or who this AR device is for. Everything is single people consuming things.
This will not be “the next big thing”. This technology is still entirely too stupid to be used in the real world. This whole product cycle has been “Buy buy buy!!”… Yeah, as soon as I pay my rent, feed my family, hopefully put tires on the car, then maybe I’ll look into… wait, no I won’t because I have absolutely zero need for a headset…
My quick hot take as someone who backed Oculus on Kickstarter etc. and feel that AR/VR is inevitable.
This is cool. IF the pass through camera experience is truly leaps forward where you can almost forget you are looking through a mediated experience and cameras. It does enable the fully opaque AR experience that Magic Leap and Holo Lens hasn’t provided. (The latest Meta headsets do, but the camera quality is quite poor.)
However, it did not feel like the iPhone introduction to me. If Meta Quest etc. were the Blackberry to iPhone, I would say the Blackberry kind of already had things 90% figured out… from what Apple’s shown so far. But Apple is applying their incredible scale and technology and resources to bring its specs about 5 years forward. It feels largely brute forced in that way vs. driven by inspired and unexpected experience design. So rather apt perhaps for a Tim Cook era of Apple.
That said, VR and AR? Absolutely magical and transporting experiences at their best. So there is some foundation to this there.

For something like PS VR2/Oculus the killer app is the games, which you can have experiences not possible on a flat-panel. Here? I’m not seeing anything which isn’t comparable or better on a normal computing device. And it doesn’t help that so many of the things they show are things which are better shared with people, and not alone.
Lenses with correction is something I wish other VR headsets, instead of relying on 3rd-parties.
