The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

    I would quote it as $3500 or thirty-five hundred dollars. It’s a common practice for radio since $3499.99 is read as thirty-four ninety-nine ninety-nine which is heard as $349,999

    This value is too much for any VR/AR goggles in my budget. I’d read this as a thing for very specialized industrial purposes (say CAD/CAM) or a toy for rich people.

    And if it’s just a toy for rich people, it’s not going to be well supported. If it’s a CAD/CAM tool or a tool for disabled accessibility then all the software will be proprietary and overpriced as well.

      Roch people pay for apps, so perhaps even if it is just for the rich, it can be successful. The thing about technology, though, is selling those same apps for less to mass market later is still profitable as it costs no more to produce them.
