| I don't know if Apple's "vision" will catch on. But this article is at the "Old Man Yelling at Clouds" level of analysis. Many new platforms, form-factors, gadgets, categories of devices , etc. start as "expensive novelty bullshit for rich people". Yet some move past that (and some don't). The author might want to think, for a few seconds at least, about why some do and some don't and whether this one could. The comparison to Google Glass is particularly lazy. The approach and tech is so different I don't think there's really anything to learn. Any why even write something like this: "no matter how much they boost it, no normal human being wants to wear goofy-ass goggles so they can attend work meetings in Minecraft." Hur dur! I think this refers to Meta's clunky/crappy VR meeting software. Apple's approach is obviously different, right? And perhaps Apple will figure out how to make it less clunky and crappy? (Meta may too eventually, but doesn't have that track record). BTW, nobody wants to attend work meetings. Neither VR goggles nor other tech are really the reason. I guess this is just a long way to say this is a thoughtless throwaway article. |
