> The reality-shaping power of Apple's demo maestros is truly admirable I like the Marques Brownlee takes, he's one of the "30 minutes hands on" guys: ▶ this video He seems fairly well impressed, at least in the first half of the video ...
Can't wait for the eye tracking of the Apple VR headset as described in this video to become more common ▶ this video seems like the most ergonomic way to interact with the computer
People (admittedly access-dependent friendly people [0]) have worn it and say it roughly lines up with demoes. There is no such analogue for Meta, Nreal, etc. [0] ▶ this video
You said: > Everyone I have seen with actual experience USING VR and AR say it is not even evolutionary, let alone revolutionary. Luckey obviously has that experience. Now you're changing to a different argument. Marques Brownlee also has experience with these products and says it was impressive and that there's nothing equivalent: ▶ this video .
> This is how he writes. Maybe, but Marques Brownlee gushed about it as well ( ▶ this video ), and he's not a person that pulls punches. This is an extremely ambitious, qualitatively different device than anything that's come before.
