VR/AR technology is still in its infancy. All tech giants like Apple, Meta, and others have a long way to go before we see a comprehensive product that can be a game-changer. Open models indeed have a pretty good track record, but they carry their own set of challenges too. It'll be interesting to see how the next Generation shakes up.

[@stoek]

As someone who does XR software, I would say you are very incorrect about being in it's "infancy". XR is already more advanced than the non-users think, they think about XR in future tense when it's actually already there, until they get to experience it properly. People experiencing it properly for the first time keep telling me "I didn't think it was this good already", and everyone has been mind-blown by it. I don't like Meta's data practices but Quest 3 is very good for the price and after trying to resist it, I now use it when I work from home. Bigscreen Beyond is my favourite for the size and Varjo XR 4 is unbelievable when it comes to image quality. There was NO SCREEN-DOOR AT ALL in my opinion when I used it. The price is only going to come down. Apple's headset is actually just very scammy- costs too much when you get more for less.

[@orangejjay]

At the end of the day, all of these are just attempts to control people and have a new platform to bombard fools with ads. Most people who have used a Quest or other VR pick it up and then put it down. The separation it creates isn't fun and worse, they're closed ecosystems that tie you down to a single company and whatever the hell they want you to experience. No thanks. They say fools are easily parted with their money and we can look no further than VR to see how true that is. Hell, I even had a Quest because I wanted to see how cool it was ... it wasn't. It sucked. Sold it and then the person I sold to ended up selling it too. 😂

A "wearable bracelet" because a bracelet is usually not wearable? As far as common sense tells me, a bracelet is something that you wear around your wrist since maybe the stone age... and earrings, something (probably a ring) that you wear on your ears.

I haven't expected a mention of the C= Amiga, that brought back memories. In fact, the first ever VR experience I had was from a company called "Virtuality", that had Amiga 3000 (I think it was at the time) with a huge headset, and a couple of games. In one you piloted a combat airplane, and the other you were in a kind of platforms shooting pterodactyls or something like that. I was clunky, of course, but it was fine. At least, I didn't have any motion sickness from it.

[@CrispyPotatoChip]

Demand is low, inflation high and competition high.

[@triopical6884]

$500 is pretty low for what it gives. Also, before the Quest headsets, most VR headsets back then were above the thousands. There's nothing stopping you to get the cheaper $250 Meta Quest 2, although I believe that Meta plans to release a cheaper and better successor this year, called Quest Lite.

The neural interface he was talking about was referring the ctrl lab neural bracelets their working on. Basically a wristband that reads your muscular movements to bypass a need for cameras for handtracking.

[@d-rockanomaly9243]

Yes, and there is also technology that utilizes the fact that even you think of a word subconsciously you verbally, very subtly, move muscles in your throat. The very tiny vibrations are enough to determine what your thinking of. If I'm not mistaken this Tech was first introduced by an MIT student who created the technology for his thesis about 4 or 5 years ago.

[@arxaaron]

Thanks for the Amiga acknowledgement. The 1980's era computer history stories often overlook that the most innovative and forward thinking technology of the time was found in the Amiga. Sadly, winning the game wasn't a matter of who manufactured the best computer and OS, but came down to who could manufacture the best marketing hype (and Jobs was a master of marketroid hype, especially when hyping himself). in example: When Atlanta was making it's bid for the '96 Olympics, Georgia Tech created an elaborate, state of the art, multi screen, multi-projector, multi media promotional presentation run from multiple synchronized random access videodisc players with multiple synchronized digital audio channels for multiple translations. All of those elements were controlled by a single Amiga2500. The video screens were arranged in a semi-circle around a translucent 3D relief model of Atlanta which was backlit by simple still graphics from a Mac to highlight the venue locations featured in the videos. Again, a single Amiga2500, with it's multi processor design and multi tasking, priority preemptive operating system controlled and synchronized every device and every element of the multimedia extravaganza, including telling the dumb terminal Mac which still graphic to display. The sophisticated presentation reportedly played a big role in Atlanta hosting the 1996 Olympics. Now guess which computer system got ZERO mention in the press and which was portrayed as the brains of the setup??

[@JonnyInfinite]

I had an Atari ST. Went to a 286 in the early 90s and it was like going backwards with DOS etc

[@LCTesla]

Commodore's management also did everything in its power to make the Amiga fail past its initial release. If I recall correctly most of the engineering team just got laid off at one point. That company had some really talented people working at it but its upper management was wholly unprepared to succeed in the late 80s / early 90s IT market.

Metas platform is getting more closed off by the day. Pretending meta is any different from Apple in this regard is laughable. Meta is a far more serious player in the vr gaming space but apples headset is miles ahead on a technical level especially in terms of the display color accuracy and PPI. You can still sideload games onto the quest but they’ve been making that harder, making you register as a developer which is similar to how people circumvent apple’s restrictions on iOS and I’m sure their vr restrictions too. Neither platform is remotely close to being open. However if Mark doesn’t see where Apple is trouncing them right now then he’s delusional and meta has no hope of competing with them in the future as their headsets only get cheaper. People see the quests as gaming devices, Apple is trying to get people to see the Vision Pro as a lifestyle device and in that way they are completely running away with the lead in terms of being seen as a true productivity device or even tablet/laptop replacement for some people. I think Apple needs to devote more focus to gaming because vr gaming is definitely the most compelling aspect of VR but I can see why they’ve focused more on entertainment, to get broader appeal and that broad appeal will translate to more and more sales as they can bring the cost down.

[@Blatantist]

nah the passthrough quality obiously isn't better, he's coping. but the headset, for functionality, absolutely destroys the apple device, which for now at least isn't anything more than a "look at me i'm rich and stupid" jewelry

[@Adam-xg1ch]

lol quest does nothing better than apv and zucc knows it@@GraveUypo

[@BeefIngot]

"Meta is going to be the open model" Hardware is locked down and requires signing up for Facebook. Yea... ok zuck

[@fernandoschuindt1665]

I have a Quest 3. In terms of software, there's a lot of openness to it. It has an "everything is set" layer that you can easily bypass and set your own configs, graphics, back-ends and there's even a third party app store. I even know a lot of people using pirated software in it. Pretty wild the things you can change/adapt with a little bit of time and knowledge in IT.

[@tylerlaprade642]

Not true anymore

[@kuboteusz]

Everyone has Facebook anyway

[@marred2277]

Yeah, didn't really get that point either. Microsoft is open? Apple won mobile? Linux ( Android ) is the most installed OS, so yeah, don't get it.

[@Dekatelon]

You don't need a facebook account anymore (mainly thanks to german law that prohibited the sale of Metas VR headsets due to exactly this reason)

that is such a weird video from Zuckerberg, but it's kind of fire that he just thought "that's fine I am gonna post that"

Not a big fan of Zuck but I can see he'd be kinda sick of people falling over backwards for apple products that lately have more and more often been neatly wrapped apple versions of existing tech.

[@Manivelarino]

Quests's open model? that forces you to register before you can even start using the thing?

[@drprdcts]

Meta has been surprisingly open in the open source community. Think React.js, Llama LLM. I'm quite happy with their direction. They know that Microsoft with OpenAI is completely closed off, Apple is closed off, so they HAVE to be open to survive.

[@MK73DS]

I mean he did say Windows is an open operating system...

[@creeper6530]

Apple does the same tho

[@ameknite]

If you compare it to Apple, everything has an open model

[@Imperial_Squid]

​@@MK73DSyeah that whole paragraph was kinda wild, interoperable would probably be more accurate, it certainly isn't open though lol

[@GabrielTobing]

1:51 The thing also is that with the quest its vr capable, which means yes, you can play beatsaber, vrc and more.

[@ST-online]

Honestly Zuck makes a good point seeing he could just jack up the price on the new quest device but seems like he’s determined to keep it affordable

[@Sinrigh]

I also do agree that brain chips probably far outweigh wearing giant goggles

[@bielgaucho_real]

From all the 500 videos I watched about Vision Pro, this is the first one that criticized the Passthrough. Every single other video praises it as the best passthrough yet. Now I'm intrigued.

[@tripnils7535]

A couple people have critizised it actually. When you don't have good lighting, you get constantly missclicks.

[@Mark-xw5yt]

Same. Seems like that was THE big feature that everyone was saying they innovated on

[@blahblahblah5924]

It's not the same. He's not mocking the Apple Vision Pro.

[@Gandhi_Physique]

I want a more modern phone with a mini physical keyboard. I don't like digital buttons that much tbh.

[@snil4]

I will go out the same as steve balmer too and remind that until now VR has only been successful as an entertainment device mostly because it couldn't find any other real life usage and most people getting fatigued after a few hours of use.

[@Eagle3302PL]

@@snil4 Few hours, most people get motion sick or get serious eye strain after like 40 mins. VR is very far away, and ass long as it's gonna boil down to strapping a very high brightness screen to your eyeballs it's gonna suck and be a myopia generator, simply because eyes are not designed for that. VR needs a breakthrough in the form of eyeball implants, brain implants, or some completely new screen technology to become properly mainstream and comfortable to drive daily.

[@Endrit719]

next step would be to integrate this in normal glasses, currently the state is the huge PCS that were back then and then reduced to laptops

[@Steph6n]

"that tech is at least months away" 2:33 lol

[@WolfPhoenix0]

I've missed hearing Fireship's hot takes. This one was especially spicy! 😂 VR always seemed massively overhyped to me.

[@mrkiky]

It's pretty cool but I dunno if it has any purpose in the mainstream in the near future tbh. Even for games it has too many drawbacks to become the main platform.

[@tripnils7535]

Nah VR is amazing with the right hardware and games. Most people just never experienced modded PCVR games wirelessly. It's a game changer.

[@mrkiky]

@@tripnils7535 Still only good for a niche though. Movement sucks and it only lends itself to some genres. Plus its super high effort compared to regular gaming.

[@wakematta]

Windows was the open model ? since when? Since they integrated ubuntu?

[@BrBill]

I guess they mean open marketplace as opposed to iOS's walled garden. But MacOS lives in an open marketplace, and that marketplace was not invented by the IBM PC or its clones; such a market existed with all home computers that came before it.

[@zvndmvn]

Truly the Biggie/2Pac beef of our time.

[@pieterrossouw8596]

Lots of people are becoming increasingly aware that too much screentime is damaging in one or more ways. Strapping a screen to your face seems like the wrong direction. Also, I doubt I'll be any more productive with this than I am with just 2 basic external monitors, my laptop's display and more than a decade of muscle memory. The virtual display for work thing is a gimmick. Maybe with like Neuralink or something there can be a step forward but right now some cheap Dell 27" monitors, a good mouse and keyboard is peak productivity as a Dev - and it doesn't cost 4 grand.
