    I’m not confused at all. The reason people get headaches it’s a tech issue. Not a VR issue. Low resolution screen, low refresh rate, and heavy headsets are the cause of those issues. Technology has not advanced enough to solve those issues. Apple has created the best option so far, but there’s still a lot of room to improve.

    Due to the better tech in Vision Pro I wouldn’t be surprised if the amount of people getting headaches compared to other headsets is lower, but not zero unfortunately.

    I’m not sure how you can say in good conscience that people don’t dislike the price. Go into any thread regarding Vision Pro and price will by far be the most discussed topic.

      That’s because the technology sucks. If it really was revolutionary, $3500 would be a bargain.

      People pay that right now for gaming computers. If it could replace that, it would be worth it. Many people own toys more expensive than that (motorcycles, boats, jet skis). People with mobility issues spend that amount on their wheelchair and can barely go to the Grand Canyon, let alone more remote places.

      It’s just a technology issue. It sucks.

        The technology is years ahead of anything else.

        Why are you comparing bleeding edge technology to a motorbike? Literally the stupidest comparison I’ve seen.

        You clearly just want to shit on the product and have no intention to having an honest discussion.

          This has been pretty much the case in this community. It’s more for people to praise the tech they’re owning right now, and bitch about anything they don’t own. I’m just browsing, not sure if there’s a futurism community. Your arguments would find better ground there, unfortunately.
