Support NeoGAF

[Draxon Gamer]

They finally got to the VR part of the conference gamers care about, the below embed is from Youtube so expect stream compression.






Waiting for price reveal.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It already looks expensive.

Oh no! It has a single cable!

 

[Kilau]

See the wearers eyes looks goofy for some reason.

 

[GHG]

Looks really slick.

Needs to have support outside of the apple ecosystem for me to consider it for anything though.

[Sethbacca]

Honestly, pretty slick looking. Maybe someday we'll finally get out of VR/AR as a niche market.

 

[Draxon Gamer]

So guy was right that it wouldn't use controllers.

Tim has lost his mind.

 

[Trogdor1123]

The extra screen thing seems kinda odd to me…

 

[March Climber]

Apple likes skiing I guess.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Did they just trademark an actual biological scientific term?

EyeSight?

 

[ManaByte]

Oh no! It has a single cable!

It’s not tethered to a console or PC tough. The cable is connected to a MagSafe battery pack that clips to your belt.

If you remove the space between words, you can trademark anything these days.

A cable is a cable is a cable.

[ADiTAR]

May update later when it's finished, but I don't think their apps are that attractive to move to this. They need to show Photoshop, Zbrush, etc.

Also the cable attached to your hip is a deterrent.

 

[Bernoulli]

Can be a nice replacement for laptops if screen is good enough

 

[feynoob]

Price for 1.5k?

 

[Trogdor1123]

Waiting for the no man’s sky announcement

 

[Tomi]

This is great, but this is nkt for gaming i think

 

[Kilau]

Yep goofy, I could only handle 10 mins of that cringe fest.

 

[Draxon Gamer]

If someone gets close enough to you they'll randomly pop them into your VR view.

Lots of people will troll with this.

This is great, but this is nkt for gaming i think

They mentioned games already.

 

[MiguelItUp]

The eyeview on the outside thing looks hilarious to me

 

[Bernoulli]

Price for 1.5k?

Price at least 3k

We have just trademarked eyesight. For the visionally impaired, you must pay us royalties. Consider it, a PrivilegedTax*.

*Which we have also trademarked.

Agreed, definitely since they're positioning it as a "PRO" level item.

Looks slick but facetime isn't facetime if they can't see you.

 

[Alexios]

gamers care about

They've only mentioned AR, spatial computing, eye, hand & voice controls, when others are close your eyes are displayed to and they to you. Some neat things like 3D camera included (And indicated when you're recording to others nearby) but I guess that means you gotta be wearing this thing when "living" your experiences you want to "relive" in 3D later on the device. Zero things gamers care about. I suppose you could potentially game on the giant 3D movie screen but meh. Edit: 100 + Apple Arcade titles available to play in this mode (with standard game controller support). Meh.

 

[GHG]

I'm not sure who they are trying to sell this device to.

Fucking photos? Are you kidding me? You think mom and pop are going to spend $2k to view the photos and videos ok a glorified VR headset?

It topped this trademark. Apple for future goverment.

Google is finding it difficult to trademark the word 'glass'

So is this an AR/MR headset? Or is it a VR one and they have cameras on the outside?

Apple is selling $1k stands,

 

[Bubba77]

wow instead of having your head stuck in your phone, you can actually have your head stuck in your phone. Including taking 3d pictures while wearing them. Cool family moment? Wait, put on that headset so your kids get to look at that ski goggles during the precious family moment.... And oh facetime is so great, except for all the other people you are on witn that are looking at you with ski goggles on......

I was hyped for a better gaming headset. Ugh

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Does Apple really think people want to have a VR headset strapped to their head during an 8 - 10 hr work day?

I also notice that in Facetime they curiously didn't show how the person wearing the headset appears to the other people on the call...

 

[Davevil]

That shit will flop so hard

This thread was made before the segment started so not sure where the confusion is. I only said that this is the segment of the conference gamers were anticipating.

It worked with masks, and seems to still do.

[feynoob]

Price at least 3k

typical apple price.
I would ask someone to pinch me, if they did anything lower than $999.

 

[March Climber]

Enthusiasts.

 

[Draxon Gamer]

NBA2k23 announced

Over 120 arcade titles available day 1. They finally mentioned video games, still no price yet though.

 

[GHG]

Looks like there might be some kind of collab with Sony. Dualsense front and center of the gaming section.

The problem is that it's apple arcade only from the looks of things and we don't know how powerful the chip in the device is.

 

[Davevil]

Enthusiasts.

 

[March Climber]

They made Bob Iger dress like an apple employee?

Didn't think I'd see the day.

 

[Dream-Knife]

It'll be interesting to see of this becomes a status symbol.

It honestly looks dumb af, but casuals are idiots so it might sell.

 

[X-Wing]

They absolutely did it.
These fucking mad men did it!
Other companies have been picking around with VR and AR for decades and failed to make it a product that people cared about.
Here is Apple, breaking that all apart and building a product that people will want.

Sony PlayStation M2 powered handheld when?

 

[Bernoulli]

Movies in First person

 

[Sethbacca]

So you're telling me I can watch the Mandalorian from the comfort of a speeder on Tattooine? Shit, I'm sold.

 

[ADiTAR]

This Disney stuff is prob all coming soon, as in never. What if all I said was a lie.

 

[xBlueStonex]

This thing is gonna destroy the PS2VR in sales.
