> Commentary feels a bit lazy. Seems to operate on the assumption that it's not different than previous AR/VR offerings in any way.

Quite typical for vice to be fair. What I find most interesting are the reviews from people who have actually tried it and are really impressed, especially those who would normally be skeptical of VR&AR.

Nobody has said this is a 'game changer' just that they seem to be giving the attention to detail that Apple are known for and for those who HAVE actually tried it, it seems it might actually pay off.

An aside : As for the pricing, it's almost redundant these days to comment on Apple's pricing.

It can be the most technically impressive AR/VR device in existence (and it truly sounds like it is), but that doesn't change the fact that it feels goofy and out-of-touch and has no real long term future.

I really don't think people need to try the device to form the opinion that a future with people walking around with expensive goggles on their face (recording 3D videos of their kids during birthday parties) isn't really a good one.
