Doesn’t Apple tend to be very anti-porn? Not allowed on the App Store, and they tend to have lots of restrictions on the content that apps can show. It seems like you’d have to jailbreak it, which Apple probably makes as difficult as possible.
Sounds like this might must be a video format issue, and there are a LOT of apps in the App Store that play videos that are not natively supported by the OS. I don’t see why Apple wouldn’t continue to approve apps that support other formats and codecs.
VLC not on Vision Pro yet?
Not yet
No porn and general indifference to gaming. The tech is really cool, but I still don't know what this thing is for .
The Apple Watch was the same. “But why do I need it?”
In the business we know that greatness comes from iteration and time. Apple doesn’t give a single shit whether this first release is all that and a bag of chips. In fact I think the crazy pricing is deliberate - to set expectations that this is not a mass market device quite yet and it will take some iteration and development to make it great.
I keep seeing “people won’t buy it because it’s too expensive” listed as a con for this device and I’m just like LOL dude that is the whole point.
This is a Tesla Roadster. Expensive as shit and impractical. Also revolutionary technology and the basis for much more in the future.
What are you talking about dude? All I'm asking is one actual task or activity that this thing lets people do that they can't do better through other means.
Hilarious. You sound exactly like people shouting down early smartphones. They can’t do anything better than a computer! They don’t even have physical keyboards!
If early smartphones had stood still, the doubters would have been right, too. But obviously nothing stands still in technology. You have to be very brave or downright stupid to look at the first release of a product and say its entire category will never amount to anything.
Lol all I'm asking for is one with example of that here and you can't do it. All you have is MBA word salad.
I really like the idea of augmented reality workspaces, but I don’t like the idea of waving my hands around at the ghosts in front of me. I just want it to let me click and drag my windows into any area in my vision, but still primarily utilizing a real keyboard or track pad to interact most of the time. I guess I sort of want my laptop or other handheld device to be like a remote control, so there is the visual queue to the people around me that I’m working on the computer and not having a schizophrenic episode.
You can do that. I have my keyboard paired to mine and am using it to extend my MacBook’s desktop. It’s awesome.
That. Is. Dope.
Maybe I’ll have to do one of those 30 minute demos.
The only downside is that if you shift into VR from AR, your keyboard is occluded. Not so bad when you’re already typing but hard to find if you need to do something locally in meatspace and then need to come back. I feel like they need some training to keep the keyboard from occluding if it’s detected.
If you read the article, this has nothing to do with porn.
The built-in video player doesn't support SBS 3D video, but third party apps do.
I remember when this video was brand new…
