The tech itself is cool I can't lie. That is what is in all the sci fi of modern day. Nobody will use it regularly until what you have to wear is indistinguishable from regular accessories.

Same thought. I don't really care much about the AR aspects of VR googles. I feel like I can see why people might game in them, etc, but for AR stuff I don't really get the appeal. I did recently see a walkthrough of how to use and the features of the Apple Vision Pro and I can't deny, the tech itself is really cool, I was pretty excited seeing the walkthrough. I just don't really care about the applications of that tech yet.

Interesting. I see it the other way around and believe it's only AR that'll be a real benefit (once it lasts indefinitely and is tiny or even implanted some time in the future). Pulling out your phone to navigate somewhere is cumbersome, for example.

Sure, but in its current goggle form, I'm probably not gonna do that. I'm more okay wearing goggles by myself to game in, than walk around with goggles to interact with virtual stuff in a real environment. I'm a huge SciFi fan, and I see the potential for the future tech, just not there right now. Still doesn't make the current iteration any less impressive, the tech inside the apple vision pro and the programming making it all work is extremely impressive to me.
