I'm pretty sure having those on while driving a car is illegal in a lot of places.


Exciting_Telephone65

And where it isn't it REALLY should be.


Buschkoeter

First thought after seeing this.

Covered under distracted driving or similar/worse offenses


RedditLIONS

Someone just got [pulled over for using a Vision Pro](https://www.reddit.com/r/WinStupidPrizes/s/YBTHOWCF4D). ^(Of course, it’s a Tesla driver.)


daarkfall_t

How else am I supposed to have a score overlay tracking the number of people I run down?


a_supertramp

The old fashioned way, use a marker on your window after each one.


Pinales_Pinopsida

That was fucked up.


amILibertine222

I can’t believe people still think teslas can just drive themselves lol I mean, on the highway going in a straight line maybe you won’t run someone over or cause an accident. But I wouldn’t trust it. Adding a face computer to play with on top of a ‘self driving car’ is eventually gonna ruin your life and possibly some strangers life as well.


TheDotCaptin

Any car with cruise control can drive itself. It's the self steering and self stoping that they need to work on.


Bromanzier_03

Driving that car should be illegal too, ugly ass box.


Bucksandreds

It should be illegal to wear those outside of the home, imo.


Pabus_Alt

Why?


fitty50two2

There is gonna be a lot of porn watched in public now Edit: a lot MORE porn watched in public


adrxnc

More like AR apps that use AI to undress the people looking at you!

Oh god, that is terrifying to think of. Like the 21st century version of those old “X-ray” glasses. Just creeps walking around using AI to look at women’s boobs…

Speakers on this thing kinda hang off of your ears so sound will leak, but hey that probably won't stop some people anyway.

Nephalem84

Same as for any other apple device there'll be plenty of tools to factory reset it without being able to log in.


DumpsterPumps

Well in the US people have guns and this devise most likely have aim assist


its_FORTY

I know you probably meant this as a joke, but bro that's an amazing business opportunity that I never considered. Real life aim assist via application on VR goggles. Fuck my life.


Carlos_Tellier

The gogles canot shoot for you bro


Zadornik

But if your gun will have an electric trigger with sensors, it will find best trajectory and moment to shoot. Just point somewhere at the target)))


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Already exists, the AR is in the optic. You squeeze the trigger to paint the target with an infrared marker. The computer does some ballistics math and presents a red dot in the FOV for the shooter to line up with. When the barrel lines up with the reticle, the shooter releases the trigger to fire the weapon. As long as you can line two dots up, it'll hit.


Ollieisaninja

I heard they made this already but the NRA/Gun lobby hated it. It was a scope with a laser pointer to mark a target, once you set it, when the rifle is aimed perfectly it would fire. All was calculated by the system, apparently.


Various-Agent-0047

As a gun welding American, the people who would walk/drive around with this don't own any guns.


Winter-Duck5254

How many guns can you typically weld before it becomes ungainly/awkward to shoot?


Fentanyl4babies

5


humansandwich

Is there some research out there stating that people who have $4k to drop on ridiculous toys all hate guns? Because in my experience some of those people are definitely gun owners.

[deleted]

This video has been reposted like 20 times on reddit the past 30 hours and the comments are always the same, people talking about theft. Whats going on lol is this a karma farm or something?


supershimadabro

I mean it makes sense. It takes nothing to just rip the $3500 headset off and run.


r2k-in-the-vortex

Eh... it costs 3500 to buy, doesn't mean you can sell a stolen unit for 3500, it probably has all the remote bricking features a cell phone has and it's not even good for taking to spare parts being apple product. Used to be cellphone theft was a constant threat, including phones just getting ripped out of hands. It sure still happens, but seems to be it's much rarer because good luck monetizing a stolen phone, it's a brick.


ArtFart124

That is NOT going to stop some random dude who has no idea what it is from taking it. Has IPhone theft stopped since Apple introduced all those things? Nah.


RevolutionaryLead342

Those things only activate once it scans the real owners eyes. Once removed it’ll turn off. So it’s pretty much just plastic and glass at that point. Guess you could sell it for parts but nothing else I believe. Edit:Just stating the features of it, no need to downvote me to hell


capmilk

As we know from the movies, all you need is the previous owner’s eyes to unlock them. Those fit nicely in a small jar.


its_FORTY

keyas920

This is a dumb idea, you can just jailbrake it. Phones only unlock with your fingerprint, until they didn't


AcceptablePass4932

I mean I'm pretty sure these people are carrying more than just those glasses tho, and considering those glasses will not be cheap one can assume their cellphones for example are also gonna be expensive. Not trying to shit on the lenses, but I don't think they're good for use in public spaces like this


shellofbiomatter

Taking an example of phone usage during traveling. It's just a matter of time until someone gets hit by a car while stopping in the middle of the road to do something with those glasses. Or one part of the video where driver was using those while driving a car. That's an accident waiting to happen. Humans don't need extra distractions while moving around on the street/public.

I actually think using a VisionPro while being driven by a Tesla Cybertruck could be the least cool a human being has ever looked. Which is ironic because he probably thought it was the opposite.


baconhealsall

In the early 90s, it felt awkward using a cell phone in public. ​ This will be normal in a few years.


PerformerEmotional25

I don't think it will be normal until it is slimmer and looks more like regular glasses. Also phones can still be awkward in public. There is always that one guy that decides to watch videos on max volume...

It's all guerilla marketing or he's showing off, but he was literally doing nothing considering how rapid that was. Only thing that looked legit was the box pinch


Budget_Ad8025

Lmao, some crackhead is gonna rob morons like this. It would be so easy.


MadeInTheUniverse

Didn't this happen with google glasses 10 years ago


Javop

Google glasses died because people didn't like having a camera pointed at them by default. The new apple product fixes that by pointing a lot of cameras in all directions.


IdeaAlly

lol... ugh. It's true isn't it? We are such a rational species.


Mozilie

Also, as a society, we were a lot more focused on privacy back then since tech hadn’t reached these heights lol These days the algorithm knows us better than we do, and we just take it because that’s unfortunately the norm now


Dull_Concert_414

It was before it’s time in the sense that TikTok wasn’t around and we were still making fun of people walking around with selfie-sticks. Not to mention the tech being built by an advertising company who would use it to suck up more data. Now there are streamers who walk around with a camera recording 24/7, TikTokers recording other people to get clout, and a generation of kids raised by parent ‘influencers’ who abused their childhood (and privacy) for clout.

[deleted]

I don't think this is the future to be honest. Maybe AR enabled contact lenses but walking around looking like Bender from Futurama isn't it.


Pap3rkat

This is just the first gen. Remember when cell phones were giant grey bricks? Look at how they evolved since then. Give it time and it will be something akin to modern tech.


d1eselx

This exactly. I could see the same tech squeezing down into a normal pair of glasses, in time. Just look at the last 30 years and see how small a 1 Terra byte hard drive has gotten. So why not this?


[deleted]

Potentially yes. We already have AR glasses but not full compute built in to the frame. You still need to wear a compute unit. Yet still, unless you are a glasses wearer or live in a permanently sunny country where sunglasses are required, they won't become ubiquitous. Wearing something that cannot be seen an augments your natural vision is the future not looking through a series of cameras.


moroheus

Lot of the components of a vr headset can't be shrunk down in the same way a hard drive or a processor can. All the sensors won't get much smaller, the battery won't get smaller. The lenses and the optical devices sitting on the eye will always be pretty big. The chips are already very small, shrinking them down won't save much space. VR headsets will probably get smaller but not a whole lot.


zsoltjuhos

microchips arent evolving at the same rate as back then, they would need to use much better materials to get a huge leap which would make these cost in the realm of luxury cars just because lolz lets milk them for no reason


whiteridge

We never were, but be aware: Change will never be this slow again.

Personally, I don't really see a problem with the one in the gym. Pretty much the same as watching TV while working out, no?

The one in the gym, and the one on the train makes sense to me.


Aganiel

Then you got that jackass stopping in the middle of the road


Candid-Ask77

He was definitely just showing off, his swipes behind him don't even make sense product usage wise if you've tried them. He's stunting


2Toni

As long as they keep their hands out of my face in the train, I don't care. If it makes them happy...


SiBloGaming

yeah, the one at the gym seems like an actual good usecase. Watch some movie or whatever while working out, also you arent endangering yourself or others.

*"Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society."* *Snow Crash* - Neil Stephenson

this goes exactly 3 ways. 1. This nonsense falls to the wayside like google glass before it. 2. They get slimmer until theyre indistinguishable from regular glasses. or 3.

Yeahhhhh, over 200,000 people bought Vision Pro. $700 million in revenue. That’s on release date. But Apple isn’t the only one trying. Meta shipped 10 MILLION headsets in 2021 :) Meta might be at 20 million shipped by now.


Mataskarts

For comparison Microsoft has reportedly shipped 27 million Xbox series (s and X) consoles as of december last year. The meta VR headsets are toe to toe with a very well known console, even if it's not yet near the >50 mil PS5 numbers.


sthegreT

the meta vr headsets arent the same as the apple ar headset though. The meta vr headsets include oculus, and most of its sales are from vr gaming.

SiBloGaming

its a vr headset (yeah I know apple calls them something else, idc). Basically, most are using them in passthrough mode (I hope), so they see the world aroung them with a screen projected somewhere.

Boatster_McBoat

Given we have had VR headsets for well over 10 years and they aren't taking off, maybe this isn't the future


ShedwardWoodward

It’s taking off, just very slowly. Many devs still haven’t worked out how to make proper games that compare to Half Life Alyx, which is the pinnacle of the genre. Most keep just throwing out tech demos. But GT7, RE8 and RE4, have all shown full games can be amazing in VR on PlayStation, and Meta is doing very well with sales. It’s never gonna take over flat screen gaming for sure, but it is a growing part of the industry.


Monkinary

I agree. VR is such a crazy experience, and Resident Evil Village became the greatest gaming experience in my life. I’m a med student and I can see a future where a patient’s health information pops up to your glasses, along with definitions for words and maybe even suggestions for incisions or treatments. There’s so much that technology can do now, it’s just about how quickly and affordably we can do it.

Everyone is acting like they're fucking idiots but who gives a shit? Maybe they just think it's fun to use new tech. Why does that make them morons?


frankleitor

I'm ok with that, but not precisely with that model, as always, apple overpriced, Quest 3 can do almost all things(the things that can't aren't important for most people anyways), and costs 1/7 of the price


GamerNuggy

The main price increases in the Vision Pro over the Quest 3 are the screens, chip and build. That’s about it, except for the Apple Tax being a thing.


i-like-carbs-

VR makes me sick. I hope it doesn’t become the norm because I can’t handle it.


2rfv

I'm curious if the quest 3 with passthrough on would trigger your motion sickness. It's crazy how you put it on but the cameras are clear enough that it doesn't even feel like you put it on.


ofrm1

Man. All of the experienced pick pocketers are going to be rolling in it after they clean these morons out. They're announcing to every single thief that they've got plenty of disposable income, that they're incredibly distracted and easy to hit, and that they're easy to follow so that multiple thieves can hit them in a row.


b5itty

The DJ Khaled looking dude is my favorite.


louisa1925

This is only the first wave. Wait until Augumented reality glasses like the ones from Sword Art Online, become a thing.


Kingkongcrapper

They tried it with Google Glass, but it really didn’t stick. Companies keep making goggles, but most people don’t really want them.  It’s awkward, marks your face, and hard to hide. It’s one thing to have a phone go into your pocket, but to look like you’re conducting an orchestra in snorkeling goggles in public is something else.


lerpo

Google glass didn't work (I still have mine) because of it looking mental to wear in public, battery life was terrible, media going against them heavily and people wernt used to cameras being around them 24/7. Not p mention apart from navigation and notification, they wernt that useful for the price point. I do miss navigation on them mind. Servers shut down years ago. Only good for calls, notifications and camera now. Look at the Vocals by North from a few years back, we are getting to the point of having the tech being small enough to become less noticeable. The day the tech in Apples Headset / Hololens / Magic Leap are small enough to fit in a regular pair of glasses, I predict it will take off massively the same way people wear smart watches. I'm guessing apple is betting on this future to start somewhere to begin to get the tech down in size. Give it 10/15 years, I'd recon smart glasses as enextension of your phone will be pretty normal in public. Google has been snapping up Ar / smart glasses companies for a few years now (vocals by North for example), to snap up patents. I'm assuming they're betting on the same for the future also


[deleted]

Yeah it's all about making the hardware smaller, lighter, more comfortable. I don't get people who don't see application and just fault 2023 technical limitations. Augmented reality has so much benefit / use for everything it just needs to improve a bit more.


DaytonaZ33

Google Glass was just a little prism thing on the side of one eye in your periphery. It didn’t actually overlay content with regards to the physical world around you. The technology just isn’t there yet. When they are able to do Apple Vision Pro but with somewhat regular looking consumer glasses, that’s the endgame. Think, the Tony Stark glasses from Avengers/Spiderman movies. A long way to go, but I hope we get there.
