Apple Vision Pro
- Thread starter wco81
- Start date
That's the acquisition that happened in May that I already mentioned.
I'm still looking for a possible explanation for large area CMOS, one thing explaining it is redundancy, multiple pixel drivers on CMOS vs. TFT (glass) because that's allowed by silicon (vs. TFT that should be around ~150nm feature size as of now ?). BTW in that thread they say the cost of displays is half of whole parts cost. That's about the MSRP of lesser headsets, and this should be a flimsy throwaway product sometime, ouch.
At that resolution, I can well believe it.
Apple is expecting to make far fewer units due to component shortages.
A friend also drew my attention to Unity being the development partner. Not Epic and Unreal, for obvious reasons!

Hmm, so within my estimate of 100-200k units even though the manufacturer expects they could make potentially between 300-400k (if it was less they've have said fewer than 300k for example or fewer than 200k). Interesting.

The only thing suprising is SVT, streaming virtual texturing is so far back in the pipeline but I suppose we'll get to know why.
Interesting study and the reason I think the isolation aspect is wholly justified even if the cost is currently burdensome bulkiness (not for long presumably), and the passthrough is less interesting than this and with its high pixel per degree quality the AVP is breaking new ground:

Looks amazing but I really don't like the battery on your arm design. I assume with it being apple it won't be possible to tether it to a PC? That will presumably make gaming options extremely limited given it will also lack the Meta ecosystem.

They're more interested in the 'spatial computing' side than fully immersive VR/games. Broadcasting via Steamlink to a big virtual display will be cool for 30 mins before getting neck ache. Not $3500 cool though!
The question is whether gaming is big enough of a market to sustain the development of these devices and content.
Meta tried to tout the metaverse, a virtual place for people to interact in various ways, to go beyond gaming. That hasn't worked out.
Apple is trying to tout "spatial computing" like it's a new UI/UX paradigm. Remains to be seen if that will have broader appeal beyond gaming.
They have no choice it's variants of "room scale" bc. display technology is still short of eye resolution by >30% ( 40pixels per degree vs. 60 - with insane 5-10w per eye silicon backplane). So no fonts, close up, far distance. Even if it wasn't short there would be content bottleneck these gaussian splattings are still far cry from a better lightfield Lytro was showing off before selling off to google.

So, apparently the headset may help to cull the human race of stupendously stupid people.

Some people are wearing Apple's Vision Pro while driving a Cybertruck or crossing the street
Apple's user guide for its mixed-reality headset explicitly tells owners to avoid using it "while operating a moving vehicle."

Please don't use the Apple Vision Pro while driving
In most of the United States, it's illegal to wear a headset like Apple Vision Pro while driving, but a Tesla owner decided to do it anyway.

oh wow that is really bad. I hope apple can figure out some way of stopping this. Wonder if they can use external cameras on the headset to look for a steering wheel/ windshield and disable itSo, apparently the headset may help to cull the human race of stupendously stupid people.
