especially in the memory section that was uthopian as hell... When the price will drop let's get ready even for more isolation! (to be fair the price is lower then expected I don't get why people are freaked out, the tech is indeed impressive, especially if it's going to work as well as shown)
The thing I do appreciate about the 2-way passthrough is that it’s a visual cue to tell the people around you if you can see them or not. That’s a thing I’ve wanted to have for AirPods Pro and Max; Some visual that tells people around me if I’m in Noise Cancellation mode or not
I'm sorry, but this made me think of a scenario where I am sitting on an airplane and some rich dude next to me slowly looks over at me with his eyes on the screen, and this image is just so fucking creepy and hilarious lmao
@@KellyBergaminiyou automatically presumed only rich people will buy this 😂 When loads of content creators are going to buy this either on credit card or something
Look at it like this too if a person knows you can't see them then they'll start doing some fucky shit so maybe we not let ppl kno we can or can't see them...thts my 2cents
As a dad one of my regrets was always videoing the significant events of my kids instead of just watching them and being present so your comment on the ‘oddness’ of capturing events with the headset really hit home
I was very surprised they used that as an example. Instead of saying you can take 3D photo of some environment, things for art reference, car you want to buy to show someone in a cool way they used the worst example - sitting in that next to your kid instead of doing something with them. Who decided people will love it?
Yeah that was bizarre. How could you be staring at a display in front of your eyes while those significant events happen. I don't care how realistic the passthrough is, you are just not "present".
@@cyjanek7818 it to get people talking. Controversy is the best advertisement. Also you come out ahead of the critics, that will point something like this out and you can normalize it early on.
Yeah I’m sure it’s weird watching a parent with glasses starring at their kid… but I’m curious to see if the experience of the user feels more genuine. Since you’re not looking at a device, like a phone, but through it…
I've had the oculus for a while, it was revolutionary when I got it and I loved the idea of being able to have extra screens and a nice work environment. But quickly you realise your eyes get sweaty, hot and sore from using the device. The battery life isn't good. The device is heavy on your face. You look ridiculous and aren't going to wear it outside the house. I haven't used it in months. Will this device have the same pitfalls? Perhaps it will finally crack the VR market because of the loyalty of the fans, but the price point is so high, how many people can justify the price.
This is a first gen product to market, I don’t see it taking off in the consumer space but I do see it being very competitive in the enterprise space and government space. Specifically, being a strong competitor to Microsoft HoloLens. Give it a few generations to see where it really ends up going. I was a early adopter of the 1ST gen HTC vive and a few generations later cost game down and the product got soo much better One thing that apple is doing which is massive and gets me excited is the fact you can get custom prescriptions for the lens. As someone that wears glasses, it was one of the key factors that stopped me from using VR headsets since it requires me to put in contacts among other prep work.
A big hurdle for VR is when you have guests at your house. Game consoles, TV, even phones are all acceptable to use. But someone visiting doesn't want to sit there while you're in VR. The dad at the birthday is a perfect example. That is too socially unacceptable for now
I don't know how common people like me are but I've been waiting for a usable headset like this since I was a kid. I would pay any price no matter how expensive it is for me.
It's the coolest thing ever how MKBHD ends up beating everyone getting this video out first, and he's just calmly speaking like he's in no rush at all. Great team over there.
it's prerecorded and scheduled for upload - he was able to do that because he was invited to try it out so he knew what would be presented and then in the end the cutters just needed to add the official material once it was released.
The fact it can copy whatever you're doing on your Mac (including complex tasks like video editing) and just transfer everything to the headset is probably the thing that feels most futuristic about this. It'd be so cool to move your work from screen to screen across devices like you see in Sci-fi shows
But what utility is there if it's already on your computer? It's just mirroring bro it's on occlus already or virtual desktop. All this will do is destroy any chance of a realistic home VR market with that price tag. Apple doesn't make games so what is the point of this thing?
@@thenickseditious of course Apple doesn't make games, so the other devices companies. You didn't watch the presentation? They introduced a Chinese gamer creater, they're open for developers to create or bring their games into it. Think before speaking
I worked on the custom chip that handles the IR LED illuminators for eye-tracking. Of course, being an outside vendor, at the time we weren’t even allowed to know it was for eye-tracking! This was almost 2-years ago and it’s cool to see it come to fruition.
Great explanation. It’ll be really fun to try out and experience it that first time. Can’t imagine I’d buy one and use it a lot though, not yet anyway.
2.67M subscribers but 26 likes? (first) _Actual comment:_ *_Honestly, I don't understand how the hand gestures are convenient. It's just not familiar._*
I believe in a few years when people are getting used to it and the technology isn’t that expensive anymore, it can become a pretty normal thing to own and use in a variety of ways
I must have lived under the rock because I just found your channel, subed immediately and got to say I love your chilled and very scientific approach. Also you ask the right questions in your reviews and are not biased at all. Love it man, keep up the great work!
@@Mrlordfaso One of my friends has a Harley Davidson motorcycle ($25k) that he takes out a couple of times a year to ride. Another has a good size motorboat, (I guess? about the same price range) that he uses about the same amount. Other friends have RV's and 4 wheelers or mc's to go with.... and of course these are not the only toys they have either just the priciest. None of these guys are rich (US standards) and not even upper middle class. One friend who is upper middle class has an airplane...
I'm really glad Apple gave you a demo because you're one of few reviewers who are qualified to grasp what this is and report on it accordingly. Thank you for the insight.
he gathered little to no techinical specifications, only detailing the miniscule and irrelevant software portion, again with very little knowledge on what to actually ask about. real tech savvy youtubers are never allowed to speak about things like this until they are releaaseus such that apple can control the media 100%. he literally gave nothing other than the expected addition of their patented mems lidar, which is 10's of thousands of dollars to purchase outside of apples patents. they got an amazingly useful patent for cars keeping people alive and hoarded it for themselves, for an ipad to scan rooms for no reason at all. they had to do something with it so they half assed some vr room support and made a rediculous product to prop it up. he did very little other than act as a platform for apple to broadcast.
I love how you keep me engaged thru ur style of commentary like I feel you excitement and the way you speak feels like a normal convo that doesn’t tire my ears
I’ve watched several tech UA-camrs review of this, and yours is by far the best. You really do a good job describing the experience and what it would feel like to use it. It’s so easy to get caught in the hype and excitement, but you seem balanced while still clearly explaining what was exciting and standout. There was a lot of thought and introspection in how this came together
@@boneszy he was fairly balanced considering. I was expecting some hype for the butterfly or to explain how game changing 3d video would revolutionize how we capture memories, and he was spot on talking about how awkward it would be in practice. He compared them to existing VR and AR where Apple has a way of doing something that others are doing while acting like it’s totally unique. What Apple does is implement better, and the eye tracking is amazing, so not surprised he was a hyped about that
I was literally dying when they showed a father recording their kid's birthday in the presentation. Imagine being a kid blowing out candles and your father is wearing digital ski goggles ffs apple 💀😭
I think the proper way to do this is to use iPhone to record the 3D video and then view it with Vision Pro, seems iPhone is close to have(if not already) a 3D video capable hardware
But that's less the fault of Apple but rather a matter of context. If Apple says "the eye-tracking is novel, the best out there and the hand tracking works well", then we'd just perceive it as the sellers advertisement, whereas when Marques says it, we're inclined to believe it. And in fact it's a false dichotomy - Apple chooses who to give test-space to, so you ought to consider Marques review as part of Apple's advertising campagne just the same.
Hi marques would you suggest this gadget for the visually impaired it seems quite viable as windows can be as large and as close to a persons eye as they need however was wondering if I could get your take on if
@@opinionated_take 6DOF means in a nutshell - 6 Degrees of freedom - Basically how the element ( also you ) moves inside a 3D space is being tracked and fully used. What we just saw is basically a person just sitting and doing something on a 2D flat screen just that the screen is projected in front of you through the headset. 6 DOF would be if the person would move in that space based on his headposition ( X Y axis and X, Z axis) and rotation. Its complicated but I hope I could clarify it to you :x
I have realised this earlier & I would stick to it, no background music in your videos, no sfx, no crazy fonts or graphics moving around, yet I watch them till the end. Hats off to all you & your team for such amazing content.
Question: when others are releasing foldables, Apple announced a VR headset. 1. Does that mean Apple is not planning for a foldable anytime soon? 2. What will be the future of foldables now?
@@avnash09 Foldables are a gimmick because you have to take glass, which has the property of weakening when bent, and make it not have that property. its like making water that isnt wet. All Z flips fail around the 6 month to 9 month mark, the tech isnt there yet at all.
These types of devices won't become mainstream until they are a lot cheaper. However, nothing has a low price when it first comes out. The device itself seems very impressive.
Thats the problem, one of your friends or family will start wearing these around everyone. Will be made fun of for a while, then someone else will want to try it. Im starting a SubStack and writing an article...Just to respond to Apple Vision, our eyes are the windows to our soul. One company will own our thoughts, this is much more of a big deal than people think. The more elegent and seamless mixed reality becomes, the more hackable we become
people have said this about vr for decades already... rinse repeat. no, it's never going to be good and you're going to regret the 3.5 grand you shell out for this glorified Virtual Boy
@@marcus_lyn Never is a very long time. Personally I think AR, not VR, is the future. Things overlayed onto the real world, inevitably there'll b personalised ads on communal billboards ala Minority Report etc. Once this tech shrinks over the decades to be on a contact lens, who wouldn't want that sort of overlay of maps, messages, internet search based on what you're looking at etc?
I just realized after finishing the video that 95 percent of the video there was no background music. I just think it proves that your explanation and analysis are very well explained and that it doesn't need music to make the video " better ".
Yes, you nailed the creepy feeling. While the tech is undeniably cool, Apple's presentation of it being used in day-to-day life had some weird dehumanized undertones. The part showing dad filming the family literally gave me icky feelings. Thank you for another excellent product overview that provides context and analysis well beyond the "spec sheet rehash" that is so typical elsewhere.
Knowing where we are headed, I don't expect much to change. Braindrain, worsening economies, billionaires destroying the middle-class, tin foil hatters having political power and putting us in a worse readiness for the next big deadly supervirus, psychopathic leaders looking for a reason to throw a nuke, and media in general pushing everyone to isolate more (maybe good reason like with all the public shootings in the US). Companies are earning more but distributing less, technology is getting more complex and difficult to adopt, our netsec sectors are becoming less effective, and the reliability on mass produced products are creating huge problems since mass manufacturing quality is getting worse and worse everywhere. These big companies cannot keep up and manage producing for the demand without going to early AGI management systems that are still not reliable, and they are slowly pushing towards vacuuming up every penny of profit, pushing everyone under slave labor, and then leaving to go live in their Elysium-inspired fantasy land billionaire bubble.
I like the direction we are headed. I can’t STAND all these humans everywhere I go. We are WAY too over populated. Since I don’t really use technology it’ll be nice when everyone is always in their homes on the couch in their own little worlds. Then I can go enjoy nature and the outside world and not have billions of savage ass humans everywhere I go. Selfish? Maybe. But since humans can’t seem to get their reproduction under control I’ll take this work around!
This will either be Apple’s biggest failure or it’ll eventually change how we use technology forever and seeing Apple’s track record, it’ll probably be the latter. So excited to see what’s next and also hoping to see the SE or Air Version of this for maybe $1599?
A cheaper model is rumored to be in development. I believe this first gen model is really only meant for developers and some rich people. I think this is the future and will go the path of the iPhone. It’s so exciting that this exists. It will encourage so many other companies to produce products like this.
For the 1st Gen, as a rational consumer, I think I just gonna wait and see for the next gen to see how it goes. Anyway, the demostration is freaking stunning. The Future is now, and it's really expensive lol...
@@MB_speaking Anyway, the pricing is too high, and only one product. Because it's 1st gen, I don't think it's gonna be a big success. IMO it's just experimental.
yeah crazy to see smartphones from early 2010s to now! I wonder what the vr/ar even the ai will be like in the 2030s, also to consider the more and more companies pursuing this technological advancements compared to 10+ years ago.
If you haven't owned VR yet, you can get Oculus quest 2 for like $300. Its very similar technology for a fraction of the price and still gonna wow most people when they try it for the first time.
@Overshot it will wow you and then you'll put it in a closet to gather dust because there's definitly not enough things to enjoy with vr. The only thing I might enjoy is resident evil and that isn't enough
Best MKBHD video in a whole. Marcques’ face was lit up while taking about it. It was really the passion for tech shining through which has been missing with non innovating phones. He was honest, brutal and thoughtful. Loved it
when got paid by thousands of dollars from apple to do sponsored content bit as a tech masterpiece and seeing people like you falling to the bait he went for lighten up my face too. typical lol
@@paoooba he is the most unbiased tech reviewer in UA-cam tbh unlike iJustine which loves everything Apple regardless so much so she even got excited unboxing the overpriced Apple microfiber cleaning cloth 😂
This is the first video I've watched of Marcus, and i have to say your attention to the details of every product you review and the time you spend analysing every aspect is impressive - you earned another Subscriber 👍🏾
Yeah, I also literally thought about how practical this is given the "memories" selling point they're talking about 😅 You'll have to ask your kids to act - "just act normal, I'm taking a video of this memory" 😂
I think the key thing about the "two-way passthrough" creepy eyes is that, despite its uncanny valley potential, it very clearly communicates to *other people* that you can see them. It intuitively communicates that, despite the fact that i'm wearing a headset, im still able to have a conversation with you. With any other VR headset, having the headset on is basically saying "dont talk to me" It doesn't completely solve the VR isolation problem, but I can see it making a huge difference for using the headset at home or around others, even if it's kinda weird at first.
But the problem is its such a complicated solution when the easiest solution is to just remove the head set. Also, i have a feeling most people are gonna ask to person to remove it when talking to them. Its feels like its equivalent to a person hold a phone to the ear and saying "don't worry, I'm listening to you"
My biggest question was about how multiple Vision Pro devices will interact with each other. What happens when two of these are together in the same room? Can you work on the same project together, in the same space? Can you have a 3D model of your friend sit on the couch next to you and watch the same movie together? How about when they're apart--can there be a scenario where you go to your friend's room across the country, you see each other, like in VRChat, and you can sit and have a conversation?
You get it. That’s exactly what this. All the complainers will have one by gen 3. Remember when the watch first came out? Remember when the iPad first came out? Remember when the AirPods first came out? Now everyone has all these devices and want them like crack cocaine. The next 10 years is gonna be amazing for tech.
@@seanharris140 You really think this will be popular? I cant imagine ppl enjoying something this size glued to their eyeballs and most of the time on a cable.
I think this is the first iteration of it, and it will start out as gimmicky for the select few who want to buy it and be like “hey, check this out!” Eventually, as they improve the tech (like they’ve done with iPods/iPhones) and people become more familiar with it and it shrinks in size/bulkiness, more people will use it as part of their daily routine. This improvement and innovation will probably happen much faster though since apple has the ability to hire and fund the best and brightest.
The one thing that stood out for me after watching Apple's release video was that ridiculous use case of the dad recording a 3D video of his kids. I had the exact same reaction that Marques had: really? there's this precious moment unfolding right in front of you and you're choosing to experience it from behind an opaque plastic helmet? It's like how people pay hundreds of dollars to go to a concert and choose to view it through their smartphone display, only worse.
That's pretty normal for most peoples childhoods though, Id assume. Weather its a camcorder, headset, phone, etc, there's usually always one parent (typically the father) in the back filming everything, so they have a memory they can look back on later, at school plays, birthdays, etc. I'm actually shocked people find that strange.
Some people have spent their entire childhood being filmed by their parents in a way of another, nowadays they're even being posted online without their consent, so this headset in particular doesn't look like such a big deal in comparison
Agreed about the "wearing the headset to take 3d videos" thing. I wouldn't be surprised if future iPhone's camera setup will be used to take stereoscopic videos/images that can then be played on the headset!
Do you remember when wireless earbuds were weird? It used to look like people were talking to themselves or talking to you, when they weren’t? New tech ALWAYS SEEMS WEIRD till it is submerged into the day to day.
Well honestly, first time I listen to one of your video. Clear, sharp, interesting, relevant, great job! Only thing... no need to ask to subscribe... as this should come naturally from just watching high quality content like yours. So I subscribed ;)
mate, we use tiny glowing rectangles to communicate with people on the other side of the world. I bet you can think of other things too. We're already living in the future.
This is the kind of product that gets me so hyped up. Not just because it's super innovative but because you can tell the designers and engineers at Apple have worked extremely hard to package an insane amount of hardware into such a compact and elegant device. Directional audio, extremely high resolution visuals, eye tracking, an intuitive hand-based interface?!! It's so impressive that they pulled this off and innovated well beyond what their competitors have done. Kudos to the team at Apple that made this happen - super inspiring work.
I have a 6th grade student with ALD that reads lips to understand what people are saying in class. We have a voice to text app on an iPad, but I'd love to see integrated captioning, with the AR, so he could still focus on the speaker without looking away to read the iPad. What I see here are possibilities! Love it Thanks for sharing.-Mark
This is gonna change the game for stroke victims, ALS patients, and those with muscular deficiencies. It will open up the world of computing and allow huge swaths of people to communicate for the first time.
Not sure what "huge swaths" of people can afford it at $3500 lol, but I think the internet allows huge swaths of people to communicate, at a significantly cheaper price
Finishing every video with "Thanks for watching" very grateful and very humble of you. It has been a pleasure to take take in your knowledge and information and thanks for that. Many of us will make a buying decision based on the unbaised info you provide here and we number in the millions.
I can see this being cool with a keyboard paired to it - allowing you to work as if you're on multiple large monitors while travelling on a plane for example. Would love to see it natively able to run CAD design software, and then view your work in a very convincing 3D VR environment.
@@LaurieMB Nah you get controllers included but it has hand tracking and you 👌 to select and scroll and you can pair physical keyboards and use voice commands
Who the fuck work on a airplane bro just rest and then work with your laptop. Do you think you are gonna become like robot in productivity just by wearing a scam vr with some cool 4k advertisement. I dont see any good in these augmented reality stuff, it will just damage our society more than it is already damaged. If you just ask yourself the reason why switching from phone and pc to these vr you will realize that it just encourage lazyness
I would love to get this for my disabled cousin when it comes out. I don't even mind the price tag (anything for people with disabilities is expensive unfortunately). He uses Apple's ecosystem because they have great accessibility options for someone one-armed and partially deaf like him. This would make his life just that more convenient.
The Pro part of it was what hit me and I've only seen MKBHD actually say the same thing. It seems obvious they'll release an SE or lower end eventually once their manufacturing costs or whatever get lesser and build gets more refined. In v3 or so. The future is exciting. That's what got me excited about this product. Not like it's perfect. But the promise of what this will push others to do as well
The SE version without computing power (only basic notifications etc.) focused on content in conjunction with an Apple TV + remote, could be an idea. 100" TV with spacial audio.....
I don’t think we need to worry about no one buying it. There are tons of early adopter types with money to burn who can’t wait to get their hands on this, and Apple knows it.
M3 version will be the one to get whenever it comes. If it has hardware accelerated raytracing like 15 pro it will look absolutely phenomenal. Unreal engine will also work on vision pro, we are in for some truly amazing time in tech.
I appreciate your effort to explain the technology as well as addressing some of the very same questions I had watching the introduction of this product. Thank you!
I feel like the best part of apple releasing a VR headset is it's gonna lead to much higher software support to all VR devices, Apple is great at popularizing certain tech and I feel like more componys are actually going to put the time in to develop more software. The quests biggest problem is the extremely lackluster appstore with really high prices (understandably, VR apps and games are expensive to develop for right now).
Yeah... at 3500$ dont expect many developers to jump on that bandwagon. Price alone makes it unatracctive to a lot of potentional apps, that need masses of users to be useful.
“Foundational to Apple Vision is that you’re not isolated from other people, they can see you and you can see them” Feels like a dig on what Meta was trying to achieve with the Metaverse 😂
It was my first concern... They are just addressing people's discomfort with being 'disconnected' from reality but deceiving consumers into normalizing this product. Not a dig at metaverse, more addressing a massive backlash that meta received because it was a problem for their product offering
As kids we all joked about this happening, now it’s actually happening. This is next level futuristic type stuff. Kinda surreal when you think about it.
For some reason I genuinely love how the battery is on a chord… it makes it seem retro… and it WILL look pretty retro in 10 years when the design has been improved. It looks like some old obscure gaming system
@@Patman128 true, similar to console controllers, imagine have like 2-3 battery packs charging at all times, then when it's about to die you just switch them out. Sounds so much more easier than having to recharge the whole headset.
I think one of the updates of VisionOS would be to allow using a desk as a support for their apps. In all their demos, the screens are always front facing which can cause neck pain sometimes. But say i want to use it on a desk or table and then i could just swipe on my desk or table and it would swipe along in the app that i am using. Kind of like the projector keyboards that track hands for typing. Then after this next update would be using Apple Pencil for Scribble in notes. Completely overshadowing the iPad
Being able to walk around child hood homes and have memories of it would be amazing. Also real-estate, being able to do a house tour in vr before you even go to the property would be cool. They have some of that but it’s on a 2d screen or not very main stream.
It has its pitfalls right now but it really excites me as to what the tech will be like in 5-10 years. Apple entering VR/AR could really do stuff to this market
@@dropsey3007 are you happy going around hating anyone that is praising Apple for some of their products?,fanboys like you honestly needs to go out sometimes because it is honestly embarrassing and sad that some people act like you
I’m happy you said the thing about the 3D recordings. That’s spot on. Apple is marketing this as a product that assists in connecting to those around you but the idea of that dad having the headset on was just straight up depressing.
Yeah, because everyone at those kind of events totally isn't waving a phone in front of their eyes anyway. There's plenty of criticisms to leverage against this thing, but firstly why would you even need to wear it to record, and secondly the "it's bad for our face-to-face relationships" ship has long since sailed.
@@tahunuva4254 why wouldn’t you need to wear it to record? Also, it’s much easier to record things with your phone and still have your own vision unmediated. Also… has it sailed? I don’t think that’s true. My comments (and the video’s comments) on the sad nature of the 3d photo function are a shared sentiment right now which evidences the fact that it most certainly has not sailed.
@@skylergerald3546 Burden of proof is on you. If you think there's a reason you'd have to be wearing it, instead of holding it like any regular camera, then don't play coy, state it.
@@skylergerald3546 Im sorry but I gotta agree with Tahu here. I've seen people recording and faces planted into their iphones and ipads during big celebrations like a birthday party and they are essentially watching the whole thing through their screens. At least one you won't be as focused on getting everything in the frame and people will be able to see your eyes. It's the same if not better than it is now.
@@RedNuii I mean, I’m all for just not recording things at all and being tech free in experiencing life. Best practice perhaps is being smartphone free and just living your life in moments like these. Either way… it just seems to me that wearing a bulky headset seems moreso on the “removed from the moment” end of the spectrum imo
To be honest this must be one of your best videos, Marques! I enjoyed watching it so much! Keep it going, this way, naturally and passionate about technology! Thank you!
Nah my dudes, I ain't getting this AT ALL lmao. It's just the first time an apple product caught my attention in terms of innovation and just the "Oh wait this is actually pretty cool" factor.
I'm a 90's kid and I remember a teacher showing us that you could change the color of the screen on a Macintosh II that used a floppy disk by using hot keys and it absolutely blew our minds. Now we've got headsets that work by pinching the air. I keep forgetting that there's been 40 years of advancement.
Not gonna lie, I'm super impressed on how they are delivering this technology. I wish the price was in a lower price point, but I understand why it's expensive.
For one it's not Meta, so it's not subsidized by some ad and data-selling business. And it also has the same chip that powers their Macs, plus a new R1 chip. And on top of that, it's a completely new device from Apple so there's the newness + Apple tax. So I ALMOST can feel the price tag is justified. I think $2500 would've been much more fair.
A completely whole new entire construction of next-generation interface into system. brilliant. if this goes into success well-integrated into our used daily "applications", to the future AI "applications", and much affordable than this one, it's would be a shock, like a ago, the IPhone entering into the information exchange method of society. like elonmusk saying, a new system into classical applications and spaces, making a step forward to it's form of information exchanging, yeah not literally breathtaking yet but if successfully integrated, it will be such brilliant breakthrough.
Wow, that battery life is a deal breaker isn't it? Am I right in thinking that the headset has zero battery at all - you would have to put the device to sleep in order to swap out the battery? Curious to see if Apple would offer a 'power bundle' with two extra battery packs for an extra $500 - and that propriatary cable, good old Apple. Alternatively, everyone's going to be buying 20ft USB-C cables and creating trip hazards everywhere... ...Oh wait, the deal breaker is $3499 isn't it?
if you know anything about these kinda headsets, this is way cheaper than expected. There are PC VR headset with way less tech selling for 2-3k... This is a lovely push in the MR/VR/AR industry! Features we see here have been wanted for the last 10 years in the VR community. Trust me, I've been in VR since the Oculus Developer Kit 1 in 2013 I was 12 at the time The future is looking sweet for this tech! I may not get Apples headset, but now companies will want to compete and bring us an equivalent experience for a cheaper price, that is the bigger picture for us consumers!
oh no, a fanboi is upset lol I paid over 2k for my very first pair that were complete junk 6 months they released a better version cheaper. You cry about the battery pack which the headset does much more and better than any other headset on the market so ya it's going to be pricy. You should be happy cause this will only make other companies that do VR step up their game and make something better.
While I was never bothered by the battery pack, It's grown on me to the point where I really like it. The cord reminds me of the classic earbuds look, and personally it feels kind of fashionable. I hope they keep this design choice; the less weight in the headset the better!
Looking forward to 3D sculpting/modeling/animating with this thing... You could project meshes into your room, walk around them and interact with them like real objects. It'd be much simpler than the endless dragging and panning than we do on flat computer screens
THIS! I had the choice back in 2017 to go with a VR ready PC or Mac and when I tried VR sculpting I immediately went with the Mac. Because I knew I’d never want to do anything else and I have a real life to live. Anyways, nail on the head!
This is what I love about Marques. He has a balanced way of approaching these products, no matter how much of a fan he is. I've seen so many videos talking about how this will replace the iPhone and how people are going to jump on it day 1, and I'm like, huh?
Anyone with some common sense knows this won’t replace the iPhone any time soon. However if Apple continues investing and improving this technology to the point where it isn’t a hindrance to daily life then that might be a possibility maybe after the 6th-8th iteration of it. It all depends on how much improvement comes with each new iteration.
I kind of agree about the camera dad thing being weird, except that it’s already been affecting kids’ memories of foundational years - I remember my dad “hiding” behind a camcorder (as it felt to me), where recording it was more important than experiencing it. And that wasn’t new for VHS either… so I dunno. It’s not exactly great to make it even worse, but it’s not creating a whole new problem.
Good point. I also think people are too focused on how 'silly' the goggles look.The best usecases will be dedicated VR: training, simulations, games, virtual meetings (situations where you're fully immersed and not concerned about how you look with the headset on). And that's why it's not an amazing breakthrough, because many companies are already working on VR systems. Apple is not the first-mover in this space and competition will be stiff.
Everyone lives their lives through the viewfinder on their phone during memorable moments. Just enjoy your moment and stop worrying about sharing it with everyone else. Couldn't agree more with your comment.
@@GusFromDaysPast But we shouldn't live our lives through a viewfinder - and scientific studies show how badly that kind of thing is really affecting our connections with others. The most important and meaningful events of our lives are becoming disconnected.
Not gonna lie I'm getting the strongest "real life Black Mirror" vibes I've ever had from this and it feels absolutely surreal
Also, Watching a guy take a photo of his kids playing, while wearing ski goggles in the presentation might be the bleakest thing I’ve ever seen.
This is as small as Apple could manage for now. I'm sure it will be refined in future versions
especially in the memory section that was uthopian as hell... When the price will drop let's get ready even for more isolation! (to be fair the price is lower then expected I don't get why people are freaked out, the tech is indeed impressive, especially if it's going to work as well as shown)

That’s already in the works.
The thing I do appreciate about the 2-way passthrough is that it’s a visual cue to tell the people around you if you can see them or not. That’s a thing I’ve wanted to have for AirPods Pro and Max; Some visual that tells people around me if I’m in Noise Cancellation mode or not

As a dad one of my regrets was always videoing the significant events of my kids instead of just watching them and being present so your comment on the ‘oddness’ of capturing events with the headset really hit home
I was very surprised they used that as an example. Instead of saying you can take 3D photo of some environment, things for art reference, car you want to buy to show someone in a cool way they used the worst example - sitting in that next to your kid instead of doing something with them.
Who decided people will love it?
First I was here first in the comments.
Yeah that was bizarre. How could you be staring at a display in front of your eyes while those significant events happen. I don't care how realistic the passthrough is, you are just not "present".
@@cyjanek7818 it to get people talking. Controversy is the best advertisement. Also you come out ahead of the critics, that will point something like this out and you can normalize it early on.
Yeah I’m sure it’s weird watching a parent with glasses starring at their kid… but I’m curious to see if the experience of the user feels more genuine. Since you’re not looking at a device, like a phone, but through it…
I've had the oculus for a while, it was revolutionary when I got it and I loved the idea of being able to have extra screens and a nice work environment. But quickly you realise your eyes get sweaty, hot and sore from using the device. The battery life isn't good. The device is heavy on your face. You look ridiculous and aren't going to wear it outside the house. I haven't used it in months. Will this device have the same pitfalls? Perhaps it will finally crack the VR market because of the loyalty of the fans, but the price point is so high, how many people can justify the price.
have you seen the quest 3?
Its absurd. But sets the stage for brands to set more competitive prices.
This is a first gen product to market, I don’t see it taking off in the consumer space but I do see it being very competitive in the enterprise space and government space.
Specifically, being a strong competitor to Microsoft HoloLens. Give it a few generations to see where it really ends up going.
I was a early adopter of the 1ST gen HTC vive and a few generations later cost game down and the product got soo much better
One thing that apple is doing which is massive and gets me excited is the fact you can get custom prescriptions for the lens. As someone that wears glasses, it was one of the key factors that stopped me from using VR headsets since it requires me to put in contacts among other prep work.
A big hurdle for VR is when you have guests at your house. Game consoles, TV, even phones are all acceptable to use. But someone visiting doesn't want to sit there while you're in VR.
The dad at the birthday is a perfect example. That is too socially unacceptable for now
I don't know how common people like me are but I've been waiting for a usable headset like this since I was a kid. I would pay any price no matter how expensive it is for me.

Aww thanks!
The fact it can copy whatever you're doing on your Mac (including complex tasks like video editing) and just transfer everything to the headset is probably the thing that feels most futuristic about this. It'd be so cool to move your work from screen to screen across devices like you see in Sci-fi shows
The processing might still occur on the Mac but just display on the headset like an AirPlay display.
But what utility is there if it's already on your computer? It's just mirroring bro it's on occlus already or virtual desktop. All this will do is destroy any chance of a realistic home VR market with that price tag. Apple doesn't make games so what is the point of this thing?

It’s so easy to get caught in the hype and excitement, but you seem balanced while still clearly explaining what was exciting and standout. There was a lot of thought and introspection in how this came together

@@boneszy he was fairly balanced considering. I was expecting some hype for the butterfly or to explain how game changing 3d video would revolutionize how we capture memories, and he was spot on talking about how awkward it would be in practice. He compared them to existing VR and AR where Apple has a way of doing something that others are doing while acting like it’s totally unique. What Apple does is implement better, and the eye tracking is amazing, so not surprised he was a hyped about that

You sold this Gadget waay better than Apple did. I honestly want it now!

But that's less the fault of Apple but rather a matter of context. If Apple says "the eye-tracking is novel, the best out there and the hand tracking works well", then we'd just perceive it as the sellers advertisement, whereas when Marques says it, we're inclined to believe it. And in fact it's a false dichotomy - Apple chooses who to give test-space to, so you ought to consider Marques review as part of Apple's advertising campagne just the same.

Agreed. VR seems great for creating a very personal experience, but at the cost of isolation. Are we best suited for being plugged into the Matrix?

Companies are earning more but distributing less, technology is getting more complex and difficult to adopt, our netsec sectors are becoming less effective, and the reliability on mass produced products are creating huge problems since mass manufacturing quality is getting worse and worse everywhere. These big companies cannot keep up and manage producing for the demand without going to early AGI management systems that are still not reliable, and they are slowly pushing towards vacuuming up every penny of profit, pushing everyone under slave labor, and then leaving to go live in their Elysium-inspired fantasy land billionaire bubble.

Yeah, I also literally thought about how practical this is given the "memories" selling point they're talking about 😅 You'll have to ask your kids to act - "just act normal, I'm taking a video of this memory" 😂
I think the key thing about the "two-way passthrough" creepy eyes is that, despite its uncanny valley potential, it very clearly communicates to *other people* that you can see them.
It intuitively communicates that, despite the fact that i'm wearing a headset, im still able to have a conversation with you. With any other VR headset, having the headset on is basically saying "dont talk to me"
It doesn't completely solve the VR isolation problem, but I can see it making a huge difference for using the headset at home or around others, even if it's kinda weird at first.
Thats very true! Especially if it actually updates your expression so if you raise/lower your brows, it matches that.
I low key like the 'not now chief, I'm in the zone' aspect of my quest 😅

But the problem is its such a complicated solution when the easiest solution is to just remove the head set.

The Lume Pad 2 already has this capability for taking 3-D pictures and making 3-D videos, as well as displaying such content.
My biggest question was about how multiple Vision Pro devices will interact with each other. What happens when two of these are together in the same room? Can you work on the same project together, in the same space? Can you have a 3D model of your friend sit on the couch next to you and watch the same movie together? How about when they're apart--can there be a scenario where you go to your friend's room across the country, you see each other, like in VRChat, and you can sit and have a conversation?

This improvement and innovation will probably happen much faster though since apple has the ability to hire and fund the best and brightest.

This review and the speed you got it up is as mind blowing as the head set, so stoked to see where you’re at these days. Keep it up
Obviously this is pre recorded and he was allowed to release after the official announcement, knobhead
????
So you do know when he got the glasses?
The one thing that stood out for me after watching Apple's release video was that ridiculous use case of the dad recording a 3D video of his kids. I had the exact same reaction that Marques had: really? there's this precious moment unfolding right in front of you and you're choosing to experience it from behind an opaque plastic helmet? It's like how people pay hundreds of dollars to go to a concert and choose to view it through their smartphone display, only worse.
Is it much worse than Dad having a giant camcorder or film recorder on his shoulder sticking out 2 feet?
That's pretty normal for most peoples childhoods though, Id assume. Weather its a camcorder, headset, phone, etc, there's usually always one parent (typically the father) in the back filming everything, so they have a memory they can look back on later, at school plays, birthdays, etc.
I'm actually shocked people find that strange.
@@BattleBladeWarriorPeople just like to complain about new stuff
Some people have spent their entire childhood being filmed by their parents in a way of another, nowadays they're even being posted online without their consent, so this headset in particular doesn't look like such a big deal in comparison
Y’all complain about anything
Agreed about the "wearing the headset to take 3d videos" thing. I wouldn't be surprised if future iPhone's camera setup will be used to take stereoscopic videos/images that can then be played on the headset!
Yeah, that looked depressing as fuck. On a phone tho? Sure, could be cool in its own right
Technically the iPhone already takes photos and videos with a depth map attached. You could look at Portrait mode photos in 3D already
@@OnIcePerspectives oh yeah good point
@@OnIcePerspectives Oh wow never knew that. I have a 12 mini so that's probably why, don't have the crazy camera stuff
Do you remember when wireless earbuds were weird? It used to look like people were talking to themselves or talking to you, when they weren’t? New tech ALWAYS SEEMS WEIRD till it is submerged into the day to day.
Well honestly, first time I listen to one of your video. Clear, sharp, interesting, relevant, great job! Only thing... no need to ask to subscribe... as this should come naturally from just watching high quality content like yours. So I subscribed ;)
The headset has some very insane features, it shocked me to see the future so close to today.
Today is yesterday's future. It's just becoming more apparent how quickly technology is evolving xD
So many things are happening that are so futuristic and we get to be apart of it. Between UFO’s, AI, James Web Telescope, Vr it’s insanely cool
mate, we use tiny glowing rectangles to communicate with people on the other side of the world. I bet you can think of other things too. We're already living in the future.
Not heard of vr before lol?
Hardly the future, yet to be proven.
This is the kind of product that gets me so hyped up. Not just because it's super innovative but because you can tell the designers and engineers at Apple have worked extremely hard to package an insane amount of hardware into such a compact and elegant device. Directional audio, extremely high resolution visuals, eye tracking, an intuitive hand-based interface?!! It's so impressive that they pulled this off and innovated well beyond what their competitors have done. Kudos to the team at Apple that made this happen - super inspiring work.

The price is huge something like that would be very very hard to afford for those people.

This will ironically also make more people less and less mobile....Ready Player One here we come.
I can see this being cool with a keyboard paired to it - allowing you to work as if you're on multiple large monitors while travelling on a plane for example. Would love to see it natively able to run CAD design software, and then view your work in a very convincing 3D VR environment.
You can literally do all of that today with Meta Quest for $300 (including the hand tracking)
@@jegorius Thanks - will look into it. I thought the quests needed the remotes in your hands?
@@LaurieMB Nah you get controllers included but it has hand tracking and you 👌 to select and scroll and you can pair physical keyboards and use voice commands
Who the fuck work on a airplane bro just rest and then work with your laptop. Do you think you are gonna become like robot in productivity just by wearing a scam vr with some cool 4k advertisement. I dont see any good in these augmented reality stuff, it will just damage our society more than it is already damaged. If you just ask yourself the reason why switching from phone and pc to these vr you will realize that it just encourage lazyness
@@jegorius what about battery life?
Your videos are so relaxing and crisp. It just calms me down even though I may not necessarily care about tech all the time.
Take your mouth of his Airpods
I would love to get this for my disabled cousin when it comes out. I don't even mind the price tag (anything for people with disabilities is expensive unfortunately). He uses Apple's ecosystem because they have great accessibility options for someone one-armed and partially deaf like him. This would make his life just that more convenient.
The Pro part of it was what hit me and I've only seen MKBHD actually say the same thing. It seems obvious they'll release an SE or lower end eventually once their manufacturing costs or whatever get lesser and build gets more refined. In v3 or so. The future is exciting. That's what got me excited about this product. Not like it's perfect. But the promise of what this will push others to do as well
The SE version without computing power (only basic notifications etc.) focused on content in conjunction with an Apple TV + remote, could be an idea. 100" TV with spacial audio.....
@@reneehlert741 hell yeah, forget all computing and conections features I want to consume multimedia :D
The problem is there won’t be a next one if people don’t buy it. That’s the problem
I don’t think we need to worry about no one buying it. There are tons of early adopter types with money to burn who can’t wait to get their hands on this, and Apple knows it.
How well you articulated it. Didn't skip a minute. Great work, MKBHD.

M3 version will be the one to get whenever it comes. If it has hardware accelerated raytracing like 15 pro it will look absolutely phenomenal. Unreal engine will also work on vision pro, we are in for some truly amazing time in tech.
I think M4 rather than M3, but who knows
I appreciate your effort to explain the technology as well as addressing some of the very same questions I had watching the introduction of this product. Thank you!
I feel like the best part of apple releasing a VR headset is it's gonna lead to much higher software support to all VR devices, Apple is great at popularizing certain tech and I feel like more componys are actually going to put the time in to develop more software. The quests biggest problem is the extremely lackluster appstore with really high prices (understandably, VR apps and games are expensive to develop for right now).
Yeah... at 3500$ dont expect many developers to jump on that bandwagon. Price alone makes it unatracctive to a lot of potentional apps, that need masses of users to be useful.
Ya good luck with apple not locking this down.

Wow, just the type of video I was hoping for about the Apple Vision Pro, thank you!!!!!
As kids we all joked about this happening, now it’s actually happening. This is next level futuristic type stuff. Kinda surreal when you think about it.
funny, how does technology is going to be outdated in just 10 years
My thoughts exactly
You are not alone, I bet if I’m gonna joke around today that we’re going to have a sunglass similar to this, I’ll be speechless one day
Crazy enough this maybe the "norm" in the future, something about it feels like maybe what everyone maybe using.
I used to be kids and always told my dad 😂😂
For some reason I genuinely love how the battery is on a chord… it makes it seem retro… and it WILL look pretty retro in 10 years when the design has been improved. It looks like some old obscure gaming system
Yehhhh💓🙏🙏🙏
The 2 hour battery life is easier to swallow when you realize you can just... swap the battery packs.
Bluetooth battery next
@@Patman128 true, similar to console controllers, imagine have like 2-3 battery packs charging at all times, then when it's about to die you just switch them out. Sounds so much more easier than having to recharge the whole headset.
Man, people will suck off apple at every opportunity they get
I think one of the updates of VisionOS would be to allow using a desk as a support for their apps. In all their demos, the screens are always front facing which can cause neck pain sometimes. But say i want to use it on a desk or table and then i could just swipe on my desk or table and it would swipe along in the app that i am using. Kind of like the projector keyboards that track hands for typing. Then after this next update would be using Apple Pencil for Scribble in notes. Completely overshadowing the iPad
But looking in front of you is the natural position of the neck and back. Why would you have pain? I feel pain when I look down.
@@tincho11dp if you’re looking up
That isn’t how necks work… every ergonomic expert ever will tell you to have your screens at eye level so you aren’t looking down and hunching over.
Being able to walk around child hood homes and have memories of it would be amazing. Also real-estate, being able to do a house tour in vr before you even go to the property would be cool. They have some of that but it’s on a 2d screen or not very main stream.
It has its pitfalls right now but it really excites me as to what the tech will be like in 5-10 years. Apple entering VR/AR could really do stuff to this market
all they will do is have crap tech and more expensive than its rivals, only the apple zombies will be into this.

I’m happy you said the thing about the 3D recordings. That’s spot on. Apple is marketing this as a product that assists in connecting to those around you but the idea of that dad having the headset on was just straight up depressing.
Yeah, because everyone at those kind of events totally isn't waving a phone in front of their eyes anyway. There's plenty of criticisms to leverage against this thing, but firstly why would you even need to wear it to record, and secondly the "it's bad for our face-to-face relationships" ship has long since sailed.
@@tahunuva4254 why wouldn’t you need to wear it to record? Also, it’s much easier to record things with your phone and still have your own vision unmediated. Also… has it sailed? I don’t think that’s true. My comments (and the video’s comments) on the sad nature of the 3d photo function are a shared sentiment right now which evidences the fact that it most certainly has not sailed.
@@skylergerald3546 Burden of proof is on you. If you think there's a reason you'd have to be wearing it, instead of holding it like any regular camera, then don't play coy, state it.
@@skylergerald3546 Im sorry but I gotta agree with Tahu here. I've seen people recording and faces planted into their iphones and ipads during big celebrations like a birthday party and they are essentially watching the whole thing through their screens. At least one you won't be as focused on getting everything in the frame and people will be able to see your eyes. It's the same if not better than it is now.
@@RedNuii I mean, I’m all for just not recording things at all and being tech free in experiencing life. Best practice perhaps is being smartphone free and just living your life in moments like these. Either way… it just seems to me that wearing a bulky headset seems moreso on the “removed from the moment” end of the spectrum imo

Spectacular content as always! ✨🌎💫
Seeing you this excited gave me the vibes I haven't seen since you were a kid making tech videos in your parents house. Glad to see you keep going up!
To be honest this must be one of your best videos, Marques! I enjoyed watching it so much! Keep it going, this way, naturally and passionate about technology! Thank you!
First time I'm excited/intrigued by an Apple product in a LONG time. This is insane!
So are you getting the Apple Vision $999 or Apple Vision Pro $3500? I'm looking for a $500 VR headset not AR but to each their own
Your bank account isn't tho 😅
Nah my dudes, I ain't getting this AT ALL lmao. It's just the first time an apple product caught my attention in terms of innovation and just the "Oh wait this is actually pretty cool" factor.
I'm a 90's kid and I remember a teacher showing us that you could change the color of the screen on a Macintosh II that used a floppy disk by using hot keys and it absolutely blew our minds. Now we've got headsets that work by pinching the air. I keep forgetting that there's been 40 years of advancement.
Not gonna lie, I'm super impressed on how they are delivering this technology. I wish the price was in a lower price point, but I understand why it's expensive.
For one it's not Meta, so it's not subsidized by some ad and data-selling business. And it also has the same chip that powers their Macs, plus a new R1 chip. And on top of that, it's a completely new device from Apple so there's the newness + Apple tax. So I ALMOST can feel the price tag is justified. I think $2500 would've been much more fair.
Looks like they copied the quest pro, slapped on micro oled and a screen on front to charge and extra 2k
I’m not impressed most of it was a lot of 2D floating screens
@@tyronelannister9922 quest pro is a kid's toy compared to this, u can't compare the two common now
A completely whole new entire construction of next-generation interface into system. brilliant. if this goes into success well-integrated into our used daily "applications", to the future AI "applications", and much affordable than this one, it's would be a shock, like a ago, the IPhone entering into the information exchange method of society.
like elonmusk saying, a new system into classical applications and spaces, making a step forward to it's form of information exchanging, yeah not literally breathtaking yet but if successfully integrated, it will be such brilliant breakthrough.
This is one of those technologies where I’m not sure if I should be excited or terrified.
I think it’s the ai we should be afraid of
Why should you be afraid? It's just VR, be afraid of AI
Both.
You shouldn't be either, it's pointless
I am more afraid of the price
Wow, that battery life is a deal breaker isn't it? Am I right in thinking that the headset has zero battery at all - you would have to put the device to sleep in order to swap out the battery? Curious to see if Apple would offer a 'power bundle' with two extra battery packs for an extra $500 - and that propriatary cable, good old Apple. Alternatively, everyone's going to be buying 20ft USB-C cables and creating trip hazards everywhere...
...Oh wait, the deal breaker is $3499 isn't it?
if you know anything about these kinda headsets, this is way cheaper than expected. There are PC VR headset with way less tech selling for 2-3k... This is a lovely push in the MR/VR/AR industry! Features we see here have been wanted for the last 10 years in the VR community. Trust me, I've been in VR since the Oculus Developer Kit 1 in 2013 I was 12 at the time The future is looking sweet for this tech! I may not get Apples headset, but now companies will want to compete and bring us an equivalent experience for a cheaper price, that is the bigger picture for us consumers!
Chad vidIQ
They should have a power cord for watchibg movies
“Supple” cable 😂😂😂
oh no, a fanboi is upset lol I paid over 2k for my very first pair that were complete junk 6 months they released a better version cheaper. You cry about the battery pack which the headset does much more and better than any other headset on the market so ya it's going to be pricy. You should be happy cause this will only make other companies that do VR step up their game and make something better.
While I was never bothered by the battery pack, It's grown on me to the point where I really like it. The cord reminds me of the classic earbuds look, and personally it feels kind of fashionable. I hope they keep this design choice; the less weight in the headset the better!
Battery on your head like the quest is terrible. Not just heavy for neck pain but the heat from battery is insane. Looking forward to this solution.
lol
But the 2hour battery backup is a downside
Gotta plug the headset to watch a full movie
Looking forward to 3D sculpting/modeling/animating with this thing... You could project meshes into your room, walk around them and interact with them like real objects. It'd be much simpler than the endless dragging and panning than we do on flat computer screens
Holy shit, that's actually a pretty solid use case.
THIS! I had the choice back in 2017 to go with a VR ready PC or Mac and when I tried VR sculpting I immediately went with the Mac. Because I knew I’d never want to do anything else and I have a real life to live. Anyways, nail on the head!
Already possible with any VR headset
probably won't be used for professional use as you really want something to press on for detailing and such.
Man that almost makes me want to be an animator or designer!
This is what I love about Marques. He has a balanced way of approaching these products, no matter how much of a fan he is. I've seen so many videos talking about how this will replace the iPhone and how people are going to jump on it day 1, and I'm like, huh?
Anyone with some common sense knows this won’t replace the iPhone any time soon. However if Apple continues investing and improving this technology to the point where it isn’t a hindrance to daily life then that might be a possibility maybe after the 6th-8th iteration of it. It all depends on how much improvement comes with each new iteration.
This is why this is really interesting 👀

@@rickytikki1 his main phone is an android 😂
I kind of agree about the camera dad thing being weird, except that it’s already been affecting kids’ memories of foundational years - I remember my dad “hiding” behind a camcorder (as it felt to me), where recording it was more important than experiencing it. And that wasn’t new for VHS either… so I dunno. It’s not exactly great to make it even worse, but it’s not creating a whole new problem.
Good point. I also think people are too focused on how 'silly' the goggles look.The best usecases will be dedicated VR: training, simulations, games, virtual meetings (situations where you're fully immersed and not concerned about how you look with the headset on). And that's why it's not an amazing breakthrough, because many companies are already working on VR systems. Apple is not the first-mover in this space and competition will be stiff.
True. Just look at sporting events today...everyone watching it through a screen instead of actually living it.
Everyone lives their lives through the viewfinder on their phone during memorable moments. Just enjoy your moment and stop worrying about sharing it with everyone else. Couldn't agree more with your comment.
so if someone records a video in 3d, with the headset, you could be walking around inside that video?
@@GusFromDaysPast But we shouldn't live our lives through a viewfinder - and scientific studies show how badly that kind of thing is really affecting our connections with others. The most important and meaningful events of our lives are becoming disconnected.
