I have long been skeptical of AI/AR because I also don’t feel like being strapped in like that. But I can see this as being useful for dedicated tasks: surgeons, building or repairing a PC, inspecting a buildings. It will be more of a professional tool than consumer tool I think.

Possibly, but Oculus already exists, and has existed for a while. Did this market materialize?

Honest question, I don't follow Meta/Oculus news closely.

I have no opinion on this device or the Oculus, the thing I can say is that the Oculus is not an AR device, only VR.

Yeah... I have some news for you:

Shrug. What's the purpose of a smug attitude? You did none of the work, you have nothing at stake. Just sitting in the stands, talking about how you would have thrown the ball better.

> talking about how you would have thrown the ball better.

I did no such thing.

In fact, I said that I disagree that this is a DoA product. Apple will probably rake in some cash with this.

I don't understand your reply. You talked about the difference between the Vision and the Oculus, and then reply with a link to the discontinued Google Glass?

[surgical_fire]

I asked if the business market for those devices ever materialized.

You replied that Oculus is just VR, while the Apple thing is also AR.

I pointed out that Google Glass (which was an AR device focused on business customers) was discontinued. It seems that this market either does not exist, or is far too small to be meaningful for those trillion dollar companies.
