regarding the AAPL Vision Pro - and you know I'm a big techy (heck we wouldn't have all these systems and technology here at Breakpoint if  I wasn't), I have used VR headsets for years, I have the Meta Quest 3. Clearly the AAPL with regards to the crazy sharp resolution, eye tracking, and processing power is amazing. That said - again big problems are the weight - it's crazy to me that AAPL's headset is 120 grams heavier than the Metal 3, even with it's battery taken out of the headset itself and worn on the hip. The Meta 3 has the battery in the headset, imagine how light the Meta 3 would be if they also removed the battery from the headset - maybe 250 grams lighter or 1/2 pound. AAPL loves to insist on premium materials aluminum, metal, glass, but really until the tech gets smaller, you gotta keep it as light as possible and if you use plastic instead to keep it light, that's fine

The other thing about VR that I've noticed over the years, I'm not sure what the term you would use for this but when you first try it, it's just amazing. The Meta 3 was a huge jump from the Quest 2 with the AR and ability to place giant screens around the room - the other day I had 3 youtube videos up  like 80 inch TV's surrounding me LOL.  And some of the games from AR where it maps your room and you have aliens coming out of the walls and around the corner is really cool

but...here's the thing, on every VR and AR headset I've used - like I said above, when you first use it it's crazy amazing, but for some reason it wears off VERY quickly, within a week or two. That's been the case for every headset for me basically. It's like at first this is the most amazing thing I've every seen, I have to show my friends - then 2 weeks later you are are like meh....  It's crazy how quickly the honeymoon phase drops.  You have this thing with other tech too such as new phones and tablets, but it's more of a slow degrade, it doesn't fall off a cliff in a 2 weeks.  Maybe part of this is that it's affecting your brain and eyes in weird ways you are not aware of - even if you don't get motion sickness it maybe causing some sort of uneasiness in your brain that you are not aware of and that translates to your subconscious causing you to lose interest or not want to put it back on.

In that Verge article we see the same effect I just described, people are blown away by it first, then after a couple weeks they are ready to return it

anyway figured I'd share my thoughts/experience - and no I have not tried an AAPL Vision Pro - unless one of you wealthy generous guys want to buy me one as a gift
