I have no idea why google glass didn't take off. But integrated reality stuff is awesome. Of course these will sell.

This is certainly a game changer and I plan on buying one as well.

Only the beginning.
In terms of how phones have changed throughout the years this is similar to the first smart phones on the scene. It can be used for so much, for better or for worse. |

Going to need some of these! Being a desk jockey and wearing these at work would be amazing! 2 hours on a charge, I wonder if you can plug in at your desk and wear them all day?

I think it will fail because wearing that shit on your head is goofy. On the other hand if it doesn't fail the crying from all the people that bought previous VR headsets will be entertaining as hell.

View Quote Really loving the premise of eliminating monitors at my desk. The way Mac handles desktops is incredible... And remove the conventional bounds of a desktop is even cooler if MacOS gets further integrated into this. Gaming is the only purpose for Win machines in my home at this point and in-home Steam broadcasting has allowed me to throw them in a closet thankfully. This and Apple's push for Mac gaming could make for an interesting few years! |

View Quote That charge duration isn't reassuring. The early reports say the display is LCoS, which consumes a lot of energy. When you burn that much juice, guess what the byproduct is? Meta just tried the same route, and their version failed in large part because it turned out to be hot...not a great attribute for something strapped to your head. |

I've been a somewhat early adopter of tech gadgets since '94. Always been tech savvy, but I knew eventually it would outpace my interest other ability to keep up.
This may be my stop. |

My last company was using it so you could walk up to a set of 28 parts, and it would walk you through putting them together. You're seeing everything in live, but it has prompts, motions showing you how to do it. We were just scratching the surface of it when I left too. |

Unusually thoughtful piece Slate (unfortunately) canned from Big Technology, a newsletter from Alex Kantrowitz.
"Historically, Apple has succeeded by pushing existing product categories well into the future. The iPod, Mac, iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch are all results of Apple management’s insistence that technological limitations are often artificial, and its engineers’ ability to prove them right. Yet that ended up impossible with the Reality Pro. Try as they might to whittle down XR device’s size, Apple’s engineers simply could not do it. Their glasses got hot, the components proved unshrinkable, and they needed an external battery. As a pair of lightweight glasses, Apple’s device could’ve ushered in a new era of computing. But as a ski goggle–style mask with an external battery pack, it won’t meaningfully extend the use cases beyond the current spectrum. Apple is a sexy company, but a battery pack erases its mojo." Apple devoted seven years and probably several hundred million to this project. Nobody understands why they went forward with LCoS. Several years ago an optical engineer was comparing LCoS with MEMS LBS (which I follow, occasionally ) and he said (para) "until someone repeals the laws of physics, you just can't get there with LCoS". Microsoft tried, too, which is why MEMS LBS is in H2 and IVAS. You have to wonder if Apple sank so much money into development they're now just desperate to recoup...anything. Warning, entering a sanity-free zone |
