    So there was a guy in the “viral video” thread yesterday fighting tooth and nail for how harmful the video is even if it’s staged, mainly on the premise thats bunch of people would copy and recreate it. They were getting downvoted to oblivion.

    Here we are a day later.

      Downvotes are a fucking curse. They were never meant for disagreement. They’ve just turned into low-effort echo-chamber creators.

        I rarely downvote. If I disagree with someone that means no up vote most times. Downvote should be limited to spam, harmful or completely irrelevant.

        I’ve been downvoted to oblivion before just because I don’t agree with the hive mind. That to me is scary and people should be concerned that’s even a thing.

    Do you fucking job and then maybe I’ll stop wearing Vision Pro goggles while driving my Tesla.

    it’s basically just hololens right?
    also visionos is not the first “spatial os”, windows 10 was the first. (ever notice how stuff has circular glow effect around it? it’s supposed to show up around the pointer while using the os in vr/ar)
    Microsoft quickly abandoned the idea tho as well as basically the whole uwp platform (which was supposed to bring the same apps on pc, windows mobile, xbox and hololens)

      Hololens is slightly more advanced. At least the last I saw it uses waveguides etc. to overlay the content over a transparent panel. Much like Google glasses, but way, way more advanced (and therefore justifiably expensive - last I saw, again, it was something like $15000). AVP is no different to a $300 Quest (plus internal cameras for iris and expression tracking and obnoxiously bad FOV) - it’s 10x Apple tax.

      Hololens is still alive and kicking btw, but it’s exclusively enterprise.

        You vehemently anti apple folk are fucking ridiculous. It’s more obnoxious than fanboyism. Because of people like you, a lot of people just won’t post about anything Apple because you and 10 of your buddies will downvote anything more than hate towards the company. It sucks.

            AVP screen is higher resolution. There, refuted. Turns out it’s not the same as a $300 headset.

            I don’t even give a fuck, I’m never owning one of these ridiculous headsets. Saying they’re identical and the only difference is internal cameras is absurd, though.

              well if resolution is your main point, then there are cheaper headsets with double the resolution (8k/eye)

    The new goggles have a feature that merges digital apps and one’s surroundings into one immersive space

    Isn’t this just AR? We’ve had that for years. Or is it somehow different from existing AR?

          If you load up an AR app on your phone, it will often overlap the augmentation over the camera image. So I think reprojecting the outside world using cameras and augmenting that in VR is also a form of AR. Maybe we need a new name for this specifically, though? I don’t know. But maybe AVR or VAR?

            We don’t need another name because it’s a very common - almost expected - feature in VR headsets. My headset has monochromatic cameras for passthrough, but it’s still a VR headset.

            Also, often the whole idea is that this passthrough layer can be toggled at anytime or even gradually mixed with the computer-generated reality, so creating another name will just increase confusion.

              I’m not sure about your definition of AR, but if the camera is showing the real world plus digital content then it’s augmented reality.

              Here is some definition:

              In virtual reality (VR), the users’ perception of reality is completely based on virtual information. In augmented reality (AR) the user is provided with additional computer- generated information within the data collected from real life that enhances their perception of reality.

      Ah, you seem to have made a rookie mistake, poor people are using AR, apple users are using spatial computing

        It is slightly different, but in a way that’s worse.

        AR uses a transparent overlay over reality perceived through a translucent surface, or at most a small subset of your vision is replaced. Think sunglasses with a screen you can see through, or a small corner of your vision is blocked by a tiny screen.

        In Apple’s “spatial computing” cameras recreate and alter reality, nothing you see is with your own eyes because no part of the display is transparent.
