I wonder if the virtual facetime avatar falls asleep when you do. If not that would be great narcolepsy cover.

One of the dumb 3d avatar tools you can use right now is 1000% better than the uncanny valley junk. Also gently caress any person/company forcing cameras on (not saying your's does).

Wasn’t there thing about Apple employees saying it was undercooked, but Tim threw a big fit about making it happen sooner rather than later? It would explain a lot.

He wanted another "One More Thing" moment. Guess the Apple Watch didn't cut it. *Also the one more thing doesn't hit the same on pre-recorded video.

I was hating on this, but $3,499 is really not that much money if it really does pull off a completely immersive experience with lifelike video, is enjoyable to wear and there are useful apps, $3,500 won't even get you a decent vacation and Apple will almost certainly offer attractive financing on them. If though, I got an Oculus Quest for Christmas and it was like the coolest thing in the world for like a week and haven't used it since then.

So I’m understanding this correctly, when it shows your eyes on the exterior, it’s a video feed of your face, not a pass-through right? Just seems outrageously creepy to me

If this wasn’t so incredibly out of the affordability range of one of my friends that is like 85% home-bound, this would be unironically awesome for him. It’s all the stuff he wishes the Oculus Quest was, but also when you’re largely bedridden it’s hard to make the money necessary to afford $3500 electronic gadgets.

I guess if you have a super tiny office where space is a premium, but you don’t need a super high-end PC for basic office needs and you can get some tiny computers these days. And those allow for things like, you know, looking at another person’s screen to collaborate on something. And will be a fraction of the cost. A TV isn’t even a good comparison, as a TV can entertain a room of people compared to the strictly one person use of the headset. Like the consumer use of this is basically a bigger display with some extra bits that can largely be replicating by having your phone with you when watching a movie. Even the iPad, which is a fairly niche consumer use case, didn’t debut at this premium a price.

I mean, I think the headset is preposterously expensive and is going to fail. I just think comparing it to what you can get to outfit a living room is a weird way to frame it, again, unless you legitimately are just talking about TV screens

And most people in the US can’t afford a $3,500 sectional and coffee table. They’re settling for the $500 sectional and $50 coffee table from Big Lots or Walmart.
