I'm impressed. It speaks to the strength of the Apple brand. Meta should benefit if this becomes the next thing despite the differences.

Hopefully it will push the AR/VR industry forward.

I’ve been expecting this to be the new iPhone in that I think it has the potential to transform consumer perceptions and the industry. I’m personally waiting for reviews and a hands on test because my eyesight is crap. If it makes it so I can use a non-blurry monitor (my vision isn’t correctable to the point that I can easily read a monitor, and I compensate by using the best and sharpest I can find), it would be life changing for me and easily worth the $4k or whatever the final cost is after taxes and lenses and such.

But, like with iPhone, I think it just gets better from here and that the use cases developed using the high end headset will cascade through the industry.

It will push it in the wrong direction for me. It pushes VR/AR headset to be closed in one ecosystem, low repairability and no software freedom. It should go the other way and a heck lot cheaper than what apple does.

If you have bad eyesight, VR won't help you. The goggles contain lenses to magnify and project the screens to a virtual distance from your eyeballs similar to a monitor.

You'll still need your glasses, I'm afraid.
