    There’s a dude at work who has one and uses it for calls. He says it’s for travel, so he can have “bigger” monitors wherever he goes.

    But he always has his camera on, and some AI filter that replaces his face so the headset doesn’t appear.

    And it looks fucking awful. It’s at the lowest depths of the uncanny valley. It’s a facade that doesn’t blink right, that floats around, with a mouth that doesn’t match his speech. Its like it was designed to be off-putting.

      Wait, so you’re saying he uses traditional Zoom or whatever on this computer with a camera? And then he uses some sort of software to hide the Vision Pro?

      And he doesn’t use the built in Persona and the meeting apps native on the Vision Pro? Strange.

      But you might also be confused and not realize it’s not using a camera and AI to filter out the headset.

    I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying it, unless you’re really rich and you don’t know what to do with your money.

    Says it all, really.

    Too bad apple didn’t focus on the existing hardcore market and tried to create a new market nobody wanted.

    LOL you bought Apple’s bullshit. Do you know how much easier my life would become overnight if I suddenly had $3,500 extra dollars? I gotta get a bad tooth pulled tomorrow because I can’t afford a root canal. I have to finance the tooth extraction. Being poor in this country is a nightmare. And these idiots are just having buyers remorse over buying a stupid headset for $3,500? They deserve to suffer.

      Well, no. This thing has higher resolution OLED screens, eye tracking, better cameras and is much more powerful. It’s also pretty useless outside of being a tech demo, so I wouldn’t even compare the two.
