Has anybody seen the movie WALL-E?
It's probably a bit of a stretch, but I feel like this is somehow the genesis/precursor of the hoverchairs that all the adults use for everything.
(God, I hope not.)

Have you ever seen a group of 20something friends at dinner together where each person was on their phone ignoring the others? At least with the Apple headset they would be deliberate about their intentions.
Wouldn’t be so sure about that. Now they can look at their screens and maintain eye contact. Sounds like a win/win to me.
That’s hilarious. Geezers like me will probably assume they are just a group of wholesome and very nearsighted kids.

First reviews I saw on YouTube are quite disappointing. They really ship it with a powerbank and even without it this thing weights about 600 grams. I cannot imagine wearing this thing all day and do work or eh … what the fuck are you gonna do with this besides games and watching videos??
Games? It doesn't even have controllers. There's going to be no HL Alyx on this thing.
The only interesting thing I've seen is that Disney have suddenly woken up and decided to put their 3D movies on it, so hopefully they'll end up on the other millions of VR headsets as well, or at least get released in a format I can steal and watch however I want...
The ecosystem will grow around it. You need to build it first, and then devs will build their stuff on top of the hardware you build.
I live in So Cal and in a couple weeks there will be a vintage computing fest. Maybe all the haters and people downvoting you could show up and find out what people used to pay $10,000 to put up with. It’s like they want nothing novel to exist.

Like mold.
These things somehow look even dumber than Google Glass, but Apple made them, so I guess they are the height of fashion now...
