Sometimes, you release technology not because you think that first generation of the product will be a hit but because you want to establish your presence in a market so that you are a player if the niche goes mainstream. I am willing to bet money that they are getting in now so that when smaller lighter headsets are feasible that they will be part of the conversation amd have a mature product and OS. They will use the time to refine the products and OS. It might still fail. I'd guess they are likely thinking there are years before it is more than a niche market.
In possibly 5 years (or sooner) power requirements will be drastically reduced because of the advance of nanoscale architecture in chipsets. Displays will be better in all regards also. Optics and the collection of external environment information may be able to change with computational photography via light sensor coating of components (we'll see soon enough if it's possible) and broader adoption of "A.I." in devices. But rest assured, a very light, portable and less obtrusive version will eventually be available.

If it only did one thing, create large floating high resolution displays which could be moved around and pinned wherever you want, that might be enough for most people. THAT is the "killer app" in my opinion.
Yep. Too rich for my blood and too bulky for me for the time being, but if there is anything that will get me to buy one in the future, that will be it.
I currently do most of my work in less than four square feet of table space ... or a spot on the couch. If I could have a whole virtual room to work with, I'd be happy a very happy man.
Imagine a house completely free of screens and displays of all kinds, except for those shown in individual pairs of glasses for each person (and shareable whenever movies are being shown or games are played). I could get used to that once headsets are more than half their current weight and bulk.
I couldn't agree more.
"Netflix and chill" could get a little awkward with the current format tho.
I suspect for the most part if you're sitting next to someone during "movie date night" you'll not want to block out your surroundings, for the most part. And I bet future iterations of the AVP software will be better about being able to define who and what you want to be able to see at all times. For example, you might be watching the news on TV in a park or while walking your dog, but you still want to see your dog. It's also possible in the future you'll be able to pop on your AVP and tap into your car's camera and sensor network and you'll be able to "see" through your car while driving. That could be a huge safety improvement.
All I care about is spoofing it such that my wife thinks I'm watching a movie with her, but I can really be working on something else.
Ha!
"You're right, dear. This season of 'The Bachelor' is the best yet!" (Meanwhile, in your own headset you're composing and editing.)
Needs a trigger for a quick instant replay for the last bit in case she asks a question about the show though.
The carrot weather app guy is so funny
Gimme Blender on this and I'll start saving up right now.
there’s quite an underrated immersive video in a rehearsal room / studio with Alicia Keys and band….it most definitely feels like you are in the room with them….theres sure to be a huge shift to stereoscopic videography
Yes, once 3D modeling, CAD and other visualization software comes to this, it’s going to explode for businesses, architects, schools…
Gravity sketch on quest2 was ace on the VR project I art directed in ‘22 , the remote multi user thing was mind blowing - blender would be next level though, but getting the interface to do the precision will be the trick… I’ve tried a few versions of it in the vive over the years but it’s always been a bit sub par. There is a new project out that’s working on it quite quickly at the moment that I haven’t yet tried and that’s actually looking like they’re getting it right, but it’s one tool at a time so a long long way to go…
@NeuM A lighter version of this will replace screens for most people who work with computers in the next 10 years.
Completely agree.
That I'm looking forward to also!
(feels a little creepy too though, like were being groomed to prefer just sitting in a tub of nutrients watching a simulation all day)
Idiot question: when viewed on a regular screen, the screen recordings introduce a level of fisheye distortion that’s absent in the actual experience… right?
When reality becomes increasingly worse, create a virtual reality (a little like drugs, only one that can be controlled) or maybe…..just maybe.
this is kind of spot on. I’m a total fan of AVP but simultaneously weirded out
I wasn’t there but apparently on Sunday one of my nieces declared loudly in a public space that she’d much rather be on a screen than in real life, my partner said the look on some old geezer’s face that overheard was priceless 😅
IAA audio becomes attractive again:
Host apps need a multi window mode, maybe something that would also work using multiple iPads.
I think a combination of virtual synths and virtual DAWs placed wherever they are most efficient and without regard for physical wiring and cables, plus a physical keyboard/control surface to control it all would be the way to go.
they should implement the new visionOS APIs. I'm about to do it with my web browser app (currently focuses on japanese language learning thru reading, but i'm generalizing it shortly once i finish the youtube mode with adblock) https://reader.manabi.io
It takes some extra work and might be tricky for apps developed in cross-plat tech, (not sure yet as I haven't learned the new APIs yet) and I don't know off hand what AUM and Loopy Pro etc. used
also apple has a new way for apps to communicate directly called extensionkit for ios and macos. it allows apps to directly send data to each other, or run functions/UI across each others apps. it would be a serious upgrade for music apps to start doing this for things that are a pain in midi or auv3, or an interesting way to extend/modularize app behaviors across apps.
whoever can do visionOS well is going to get a big advantage in new interest
i've started building a music app, auv3 + host for recording, playing back, and remixing loops and multilayer stem-loops. as well as 256 layer stems for entire looped songs, so you can bake in some range of modularization. plus midi modulation looping (scaled across the 256 layers, so you have 256 "takes" baked into a recording for playback/reuse). and i will start the work with visionOS, multi window optimized flow. record stuff in aum, play it back with other instruments, etc
btw apple is rumored to internally have 2 mac screens running on visionOS. so hopefully that gets released soon. wwdc is soon.
this will be sick for mac + ipad (or even just visionOS) simultaneous music making
auv3 keyboards should be detachable to place on a desk surface, with the rest of the window at eye height
Whilst potentially useful I don't find this creatively inspiring at all, it's a bit like a digital prison cell, "you will finish this track or remain in DAW purgatory forever...." (at least you can take the headset off, for now)
