I honestly doubt this will take off, but it'll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

Given Apple's track record i wouldn't bet against it succeeding, but... I don't get it. My oculus that cost 350 does 95% of what the apple device does but costs literally 10 times more.

Its absolutely a ridiculous price tag, but its naive to say oculus is 95% the same

You wanna say 90% the same? Fine, it's 90% the same for 90% less money.

It's really not. Apple are going for productivity. Try reading text all day on your Oculus and see how that goes.

Let’s see how reading text all day on a vision goes first.

This thing isn’t for me, but the screens alone make it worlds superior to any Oculus ever made.

Does yours have _creepy stalking eyes _ on the front? I thought so. Clearly the killer feature that justifies the extra 2000 bucks

Do your research. This has been possible with Oculus for some time: https://imgur.com/Kfmt88E

I feel like Apple is taking a different approach to VR than other companies, making it a more mobile device than competitors.
