The reality distortion field better be at record levels next week because I still don't get this headset stuff. I'd understand it as an R&D side project to be ready for 15-20 years from now when battery/compute tech might be ready. But this moonshot approach of throwing tons of resources at it and shipping something maybe even this year? Just don't see it working out.
@paul It's not coming. Brace for the avalanche of articles next Monday talking about how it's "facing further delays."

@paul There is no "killer app," nobody wants a face computer, and Apple has been beating the drum of *augmented* reality, not *virtual* reality, but people talk about them interchangably.

AT MOST it's a device aimed at AR developers to give them a common, predictable environment on which to test complex interactions for use on other or future devices.

@jsit @paul Maybe! The game managed to launch on Switch, so anything's possible. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/05/30/no-mans-sky-maker-teases-apple-announcement/
