The release of Apple’s vision pro marks an inflection point for virtual and augmented reality.
Because Apple’s vision pro has been described by all those who tried it as feeling like literal ‘magic’. The economy and business of VR is changing and needs to be talked about.

This is already kind of happening with social media: people are addicted and are constantly looking at their phone. I fear it will only get worse.

What I don’t see anyone mention to much is this can be an even more privacy invading device than a smart phone.

Next is the built in speakers that can hear and distinguish everything you say or is said to or around you. The fact that it does everything a phone does and more in terms of monitoring is insane. It’s not about the mental or emotional impact of the ar being introduced, it’s about the taking or privacy and liberties that should be the largest concern. Even if 1 out of 5 people own them in a group that means all those around it can be monitored.

I hangout in VRChat every day since over 3,5 years via Quest 1 & 2 PCVR. And let me tell you, the people get crazy addicted to VR. Longterm it changes theire whole character and how they see themselfs. They specially get addicted to the socializing experience. Imagine all your life you spend most of your time alone at home playing games or watching stuff, only having one or two friends and then suddenly you get the possibility to visit tons of other epic places, meet new people, make new friends, party at raves and nightclubs, get into relationships, socialize, laugh, visit events, F with others in all kinds of avatars, all from home without the need to go anywhere. It is a whole different experience than just seeing some avatars on your screen. In VR you are completely immersed into the virtual world, the people you talk to stand infront of you and you embodie your avatar. For introverted people, this is a very good place to better ones social skills at the beginning, but longterm most of them become addicted and exchange theire real life activites and friends, with spending time in VRChat. It has came to such an extent, that I have seen THOUSANDS of people SLEEPING in VR every night. There are worlds for that in VRChat, designed for sleeping next to your friends and strangers. This has become very normal. Also everyone mostly uses thick anime girl avatars and a big percentage of those users who use them since years, at some point become femboys or trans. I don't have a doubt anymore, that standing infront of a virtual mirror for years and seeing yourself as an anime girl, while still identifying as a guy, will change you longterm. Doesn't matter if you want it or not.

The basic design mostly remains the same since the beginning except for the introduction of augmented reality.

I personally won't use them since I'm older than the internet and I've seen how the young are obsessed with their phones. They can't put it down even at work in a dangerous environment. Silicon Valley tech companies have used TOS to install themselves as virtual monarchies answering to no one and enforcing rules as they please.

Once this technology gets small enough, to the size of glasses for example, then we will see mass adoption.

Pfft yeah it won't but nuerolink definitely will

[@entropybear5847]

IMO it's at best just another "drug" on the market.

[@SimpleMindD]

Spot on. The addiction mostly came from the psycho of random rewards like gambling. Not immersive experiences which will fade over time once you get used to it.

[@ElectricAvenue12Ga]

Really, for all are sakes I hope so, hopefully with the understanding of the hole we dug ourselves in with iPhones we could be more mindful about AR

[@daxplatex7154]

It literally tracks your eyes its worse than any phone you can't lie to it

[@silverfish764]

Saddest part is no one can stop it from becoming mainstream.

[@anonymousdonkey.]

Everyone can stop it from being mainstream. The people give the product power, if everyone collectively ignores it and refuses to buy it the vision pro will die out.

[@coltonbrassie3565]

We already ignored the Metaverse.

[@the5thgeneral]

@@coltonbrassie3565Yeah but the Metaverse is garbo, I have an Oculus Quest 2, used it for like a total of a couple of weeks off and on and never even got on to Metaverse, just a few simple games most of my time I used the Amazon app to watch movies in a movie theater. The Vision Pro seems a lot more useful, I’m definitely getting one as my new computer and personal theater.

[@coltonbrassie3565]

@@the5thgeneral Ok. I’m just gonna ignore it.

[@allen57]

@@anonymousdonkey. Why are you guys trying to destroy this product's name just because you can't afford it or have a personal vendetta against apple? this is a good product and i'm not even an apple user myself, this goggles makes things so much easier , just because you're making up excuses on how you don't want to afford it or can't afford it, doesn't mean it's bad.

[@DonovanCYoung]

Back at the turn of the century, people thought automobiles would bring about the collapse of society too. We're hard-wired to fear change. The reality throughout history is that humanity finds a way to adapt... sometimes good, sometimes not so good, but a balance is always acheived.

[@DexterDavidDexterSD]

My smartphone itself is so addicting. Mindless scrolling is a real addiction and I do have moments of realization when I have been lying on the couch for hours just mindlessly scrolling reels. VR headsets were good until they were just allowing us to watch movies but now with this immersive experience and complete control, this would be the bext addiction. Reminds me of the people in wall e who move around in their floating pods with vr goggles strapped on 24x7 Eventually we would get to a point where apple ties up with musk to integrate the vr headset into the brain chip thing. Scary future

[@GtheMVP]

I'm pulling further away from always being connected. I hate everything about the apple/IOS ecosystem too, so this will never be for me. However, I do love VR, and the tech behind their AR implementation here is incredible. One thing about VR I hate is what a pain it is to interact with the real word. I look forward to seeing this tech in devices I can use offline, like Steam.

The future is starting to both look extraordinary and terrifying at the same time

@@Tech-geeky what about that scientists have reversed aging in mice, which means that aging may become a thing of the past in the near future (by near future I mean 15-20 years)….

Imagine if we were all already in the vision pro and didn’t know

[@anonymous4chantroll]

It's not gonna be anything more than another VR headset. Like SJ said in the beginning of the video: "headphones but for video." The real dystopia is going to happen when technology finds a way to mimick sensation (touch/taste/smell) on something like this. THEN you can fully expect people to start tuning out of the real world.

[@tristanblaze8238]

It’s just a another step in that direction. Put a chip in your brain and let it tickle your nerve endings. Some dude was able to walk again with a digital bridge between his brain and spinal cord. Making people feel something beneath their feet by tapping into their brain is no longer a stretch. I wonder if we’re replaying this whole game of life until we get this stuff right. There’s no way we’re meant to be this distracted from reality on this large of a scale.

[@tristanblaze8238]

Technology grows exponentially. The next ten years will explode with a slew of otherworldly innovations

[@Polocation]

Yeah that’s the Point of Life. Finding out New Things

[@Polocation]

Just accept the fact that technology is a Normal Thing

[@randomfools808]

This. It's just a gimmick until then.
