Bridget and Scott are literally the reason I'm subbed to CNET. Such great personalities.

Ultimately if Apple makes this product, the general public will finally realize how amazing this technology really is.

A great video. Always enjoy Bridget’s take on things.

I’m a simple guy: if Bridget’s in the video, I watch it.

I love VR and I'm interested in AR. So, I'm really excited about this. I think there is still a lot of resistance to VR/AR adoption. But I think AR is an easier sell than full VR. And it can be a gateway drug to full VR. For example, there are AR games where you have gunfights against enemies who appear to be in your home.

I think AR could be everyday life, once the product gets small enough.

im personally waiting for AR Glasses. I think this could become mass adapted and im excited to wear these kind of glasses in my everyday life

“Why it’s just not a big iPhone… even though it’s a big iPhone” laughed SO HARD. So true 😂

[CalvinMaighan]

The huge demand for this headset at $3k is for developers.

I would gladly buy this headset for all of my developers if it means they can work with multiple monitors anywhere in the world.

Cant wait until we have a full-dive VR/AR terminal with high fluidity what a time to be alive.

[ftvfuntimevideos]

That touching grass part was HILARIOUS! 🤣

[BruceLeeRoy]

I don't care if it takes a little longer, taking their time isn't a bad thing. You go too many companies too comfortable with rushing things and charging the full price for something half completed.

Hi Bridget, I am someone who been using vr products for over 4 years (Cardboard, GearVR, WMR, Quest 2). The biggest draw for me has been the ability to do everything I can do with a desktop in the VR environment of my choosing: whether using VR overlay software in a PCVR app that allows mods (and therefore customization of the environment); or an app that natively supports streaming one's MacOS or windows screen to one or more adjustable (position, orientation, size, curvature) virtual ones. The sense of ambience, if combined with comfort, ease-of-use, security and privacy that Apple seems to be known for, can (in my opinion) lead to greater productivity than using a desktop alone. In other words, studying pharmacotherapy while riding in a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by mountains in Skyrim, within a tropical cove in Guided Meditation VR, in a spaceship with a view of Earth in Elite Dangerous, or within a Chicago apartment in Virtual Desktop while in reality lying in bed, alone, in a student house is really cozy! When living far from friends and family, VR can help one feel considerably less home-sick!

I would imagine, like Meta, they’ll tackle it from every realm they can (fitness, education, productivity, gaming, leisure) to justify the high cost. And maybe like the Apple Watch, iPad, and HomePod, it’ll start to catch on once they iterative it a couple of times

[MichaelAlbaugh]

Very excited for this. I just got a Quest 2 and love it - but of course this isn't a hunk of tech that I will lug around everywhere. I'm looking forward to seeing how Apple polishes it on the hardware front, then provides an effortless platform that makes sense to everyone. I have faith in Apple to knock this outta the park.

[BitsBytesBobs]

They will announce it in Jan, as Sony have the PSVR2 coming out in Feb 23. Meta the Quest 3 in the fall of 23. Chances are, Apple will launch this in summer, early fall.

[tomschmidt]

I think that this video makes a huge mistake at assuming that this initial AR/VR project will be aimed at home users. I think it will be firmly aimed at professional users where $3K is not expensive at all. Eventually over the next decade this technology will slowly move to home markets.

[mymovievideos]

what's really impressive is that we only had one apple event this fall with new products. Normally we have 3 events when they release the new MacBooks and more Christmas gifts ideas. Apple is smart and they are trying to stay low key this holidays season with almost no new products. This can mean that there is definitely something new coming out in January and I am so excited to see what they have build for us. I am for sure we will see this in a couple of weeks just as a peak of the product and then they will announce and say coming this summer of 2023.

I don't own or plan to own any Apple products. I just enjoy getting my tech news from Bridget

[mirelgoi]

Anyone else here thinking we could spend the last resources of this planet in a bit better way?
