re: #31 Eclectic Cyborg

I can think of way better things to do with $3500 than buying an Apple VR headset.

They probably thought everyone was going to flock to it because “oooh! Shiny new Apple thing!” but VR headsets are still (IMO) a niche product and won’t gain wide adoption for a while yet.

The real problem with the Vision Pro is that it should have cost twenty times as much and been marketed to the DOD as a situational awareness helmet system for tank commanders, integrating with cameras around the vehicle letting the commander spot and designate targets by simply turning their head and seeing virtually “through” the tank. Apple is absolutely the wrong company to market that but I’m guessing we’ll see something very similar playing that role soon.
