Yeah there's no way it doesn't cost an absolute fortune to make a Vision Pro. The display is nuts, and if reports are to be believed, extremely difficult to make and with a very low yield. Then there's a bunch of other high tech stuff in there.
It's pretty much a polished prototype for Apple to simultaneously explore possible design avenues in the VR space, gather data on and overcome unforeseen obstacles in new VR tech and its development process, and get the ball rolling on VR software development on the Apple side.
The one perplexing thing is that right now VR has two main usecases: gaming and wanking. Apple takes a dim view of both. I think that's something they'll have to re-evaluate as they work to bring out more consumer-focused, sub $1k VR devices.
For wanking; it still has Safari, and Pornhub still exists ππ½
Good luck streaming a 30 to 60gb video.
It works great with my DLNA server and can play in stereoscopic 3D with the moon viewer app
Unrelated. I was referring to the fact that PornHub only has very short and/or very low res video available for vr.
Oh, I wouldnβt know. Pornhub is basic. Streaming 3D porn over a VPN with DLNA is where itβs at
