    But hear me out … what if you could fade out all the opinions you don’t like. Ultimate echo chamber building in reality.

    Some politicians will rly like this ⊂(◉‿◉)つ Literally all politicians would love that.

    I’ve been amazed at how goofy these apple goggles look juxtaposed with how excited rich nerds are to hoover up new a new apple toy and tech personalities are to talk about a new apple product.

      I’m sure the overlap between people who bought Google Glass thinking it would be the future, and people buying this thinking it will be the future, is just a circle.

      Apple has a better track record of sticking things out though so who knows, maybe this one will stick.

        That’s true and the reason why I couldn’t stand staying in their ecosystem. Apple fans are just insufferable. They gobble up every shit Apple ditches out and cheer them on when they report just another record quarter paid by themselves.

        I’m very skeptical of vr as a general mass market product. But if they’re willing to have another semi-niche system on their line up then this probably will last a long time. There are tons of people who will always be enthusiastic for vr since it harkens to a childhood dream of theirs

      The airpods looked ridiculous. Now they’re a fashion statement. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Better yet, if everyone is wearing these, then everyone can see and hear everyone else as the people they approve of. You could hold a conversation with someone thinking they’re a Democrat while they think you’re a Republican, and both would walk away glad to have found a like-minded person.

      What?

      I don’t understand how what you’re saying relates to the Apple goggles, it sounds like you might as well have said that if everyone wears wireless earbuds, everyone can start hearing eachothers thoughts.

      Did Apple announce some sort of Snapchat filter and live translate function that you’re making fun of, or is the comment just absurd?

        I’m just making a joke about what some Black Mirror version of this might do in some dystopian future.

    Ok so my theory is they’re not doing full 3D stuff on it because the GPU isn’t up to standard so they’re doing the whole floating frames thing.

    But after a couple of generations it’ll be able to do gaming.

          Yeah thats the issue double then. Bought a 3500 wireless item and you have to plug it in 24/7. Probably they dont even deliver a 1.5m cable lmao

            If they’re comfortable and got cheaper, I can definitely see myself ditching my cumbersome multimonitor setup I use for work and home lab to just use something like this instead. Might even trick my employer into paying for it.
