What's your opinion on Apple's googles?

It does nothing new but seems to be very polished. I'm not sure it's worth 3.5k $.

I'm not informed about it.

How does it compare to the Valve Index (for 1.080 €)?

Does it do anything better or differently?

I'm certainly skeptical it'll be of interest to me due to the technical accessibility and price - of the Apple brand in general, and I expect this to be no different.

Looking at Wikipedia

The Vision Pro is a standalone device that runs visionOS, a derivative of iOS designed for extended reality software and controlled via motion gestures, eye tracking, and voice input.

Yeah, I have no interest. I don't think it's a useful product in terms of resource use and price. That won't stand in the way of people buying it though. The price is high enough and the brand brandy enough that Apple will make it work and it'll be worth it for them.

It does have a ridiculously high resolution, which paired with dynamic foveated rendering could mean super sharp visuals. The display is also uoled and it has pancake lenses. Essentially, if it was able to connect to a PC for pcvr and didn't have the apple price markup it would be my dream VR headset.
