Austin looks weird hmm /s

This is an early adopter machine. In 2-3 years we will get the "Air" version, which will be around 1k. This first round is all about seeing what is used, what isn't used, and what they can make cheaper.

Great synergy between you two 👍

What do you mean? That is Austin. He’s just wearing contact lenses.

Yeah, this is basically a user available dev kit.

WWDC = Worldwide Developers Conference This is a public dev kit, it's priced as such. There's a reason it was announced at WWDC and not a consumer product launch event.

My hope would be some form of hot-swappable battery system. Maybe the headset itself has a tiny battery that can last 5-6 minutes, just enough time to unplug your large dead battery and replace it with a charged one.

Austin needs to give Matt a raise...dude only has one Tshirt.

Damn, Royce is on point. If I have to choose between a 3D reconstruction of my or a Meta-inspired cartoon avatar in a professional setting, I'm going with the 3D reconstruction every time. The price is justified when you consider it's effectively like 2 iPads miniaturized and crammed together into a thick glasses kit with a crap-ton more sensors. With all that being said, I still think this is a product no one is actually going to buy at this stage.

I found the moment with the dad filming his kids with the headset to be both creepy and totally hilarious 🤣 Also, while I'm definitely not purchasing them, I am honestly kind of sad that this and the Google Pixel Fold are not going to be sold in Canada.

Netflix adaptation of Austin Evans.

Did Austin get a tan?

Matt has never been this chill in a video ever

Black mirror, nah its the beginning of sword art online ordinal scale

Boy I can't wait to purchase my iEyes

Did he really suggest an Apple console would bury Xbox and PS? Someone get this dude outta the kitchen, he's done cookin'.

At $3500 price tag, I still have a feeling that it will not be easy to get one on hand aheah of so many scalpers.

okay, hearing this with a headhphone make the voice of Royce sound on par with Austin, just a little more deep xD

I’m guessing there will be different batteries available to charge us more. This is going to take 3 to 5 years before the price really comes down, the M3 will help a lot with lower power consumption and i’m guessing one of the biggest price factors may be the two 4k plus screens.

The vision pro is closer to a home computer(PC) than a laptop, will mostly be used at home and battery pack has just 2h of batterylife, if u consider a movie is usually 2,5 h long, but the pros are that u dont have to put a full sized pc under the table or put 3 58 inch screens on your table, just connect it to ur phone or ipad and u have the same power as a pc, 3 screens with really no size limit

Great video. You CAN leave the house with it for two hours, but most people will be plugged in on the couch. The eye thing is subtlety brilliant. Apple clearly does not want people “living” in the VR world for whatever reason. The entire presentation was spent showing how this device is NOT isolating or cocooning like a traditional VR set. The price and setting were designed to discourage mass adoption. Apple has reached as far as they can go with their hardware and software their engineers. This event was introducing the Vision Pro to the world’s engineers to take it to the next level.

The thing is the Vision Pro is for professional and enthusiast level as the 1st gen. the competition that has the comparable tech the Vision is half the price of the Varjo XR3, and integration with software is far better, additionally as a sound engineer is I were to get the monitors equivalent to the size the vision pro can offer, while also enabling me to control my ipad and iphone in the same space, while editing in a serene environment can really be inspirational.. this is a declutterer for working from home. Giving developers time to adapt their apps is a great idea, as clearly the hardware seems pretty polished already. For companies already using this tech like the Hololens, Apple makes it more integrated and accessible for professionals and rich people, while still being a good deal compared to the competition. I would love to use this as a performer and dj because I can use the vision pro instead of the laptop being in the way. I would love to have an app to make different things display on the front screen. Also Mac Pro is a stop gap while they try figure out an innovative way of integrating PCIE, while leveraging the small form factor of apple silicon.

15:00 I'd like to remind him the existence of the Apple Pipin. Nobody will EVER beat Nintendo because Nintendo is bigger than Apple in terms of fan loyalty.

The calculator app is also alongside the inability to block no caller ID 😢 As for the battery. Most people will use this at home. The external battery pack could be big as it will just sit on the sofa. Give it a few months China will make a big battery. I think Apple have got an excellent plan for a resurrection of 3D movies on the TV+ universe, as well as 3D gaming. One thing not mentioned, is it a stand alone and doesn’t need a phone? Therefore what is the specs for gaming abilities if it does not source the game from the phone? The weight has been mentioned, I am amazed they didn’t go for carbon. Perhaps if they make it plastic this will enable a cheaper version.

Holy crap an iPad mini pro with an M2 processor is my dream with an OLED HDR Retina Dislplay 16 Gb Ram 120hz refresh rate is my dream.

I think the Vision is cool, but it's dumb. Having a magical floating screen doesn't help anything, it doesn't improve anything, and being hands free is not all that useful when you have a screen floating in front of you. It's not like you'll be making ships in bottles while you do your taxes. And, if you can't put your screen down long enough go get food, then you have a much bigger problem than this doofy little headset can solve. But, again, this thing is objectively cool.

No one is into Facebooks metaverse, but having an avatar and interacting with others in a virtual world, is amaizing, vr chat is one of the best communities on the internet.

Mat and Royce need to work for Apple. Also, TWO HOUR BATTERY LIFE!? C’MON!!

Austin been hitting the gym.

My profile picture is still me wearing standing in Washington Square Park wearing Google Glass

Sorry but I already know exactly what the purpose of the face scanning is. It's to sell or use the face scans to train AI how to better tell people apart, probably for military use like enabling drones to better target enemies for elimination, as well as give them the ability to use your face in advertising _and_ teach AI how to create brand new faces that don't actually exist, but more accurately and realistically (without needing a human to create the detailed face model). None of which is a _good_ thing.

This is more expensive than most PCs... you cannot say that that is a fair price... it's just another Apple gimmick that will be forgotten about in a bit

6:40 People like to compare the AVP to the Meta Quest when it comes to movies and Big Screen ect. The Meta Quest is NOT 4k resolution per eye AND has a way higher PPD so its AMAZINGLY crisp as verified by literally every person who has tried it. Literally and figuratively comparing Apples to oranges. Comparing the Meta Quest 2 or 3 to the AVP is like comparing a Go Cart to a fucking Tesla. This headset is most certainly showing that the future of VR is absolutely *here now*.

The new Apple VR is not for common folk! I'd rather demo it at an Apple Store and leave it there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Austin got Disney'd

Transition, transition, transition!!!

We went from vanilla Austin to a better mocha Austin

The thing no one in the Tech Community wants to admit is that no one outside the Tech Community actually wants VR. Apple knows it & you can tell cuz they did everything they could to avoid saying the words “VR” or “Virtual Reality.”

Why is the "DAD" taking family videos in the Promo so TRIGGERING to YT reviewers ??? Why is that so different than EVERY single solitary friend and family member at a kid's party walking around with their noses buried in their phones or taking awkward and inappropriate Selfies? ...while deliberately ignoring the kids. JFC !!

Who knew that Superman glasses were a good disguise; look how much Austin changed without his.

7:41 turning off the screen shows privacy. Which was another theme of wwdc

very good video, guys, keep up the gret work!

All iPads have a offline calculator built in apple is like why do you need a app

The battery puck was a mistake. Adding a battery pack to the back of the headset would actually make it more comfortable to wear. I know it seems counterintuitive to make the headset heavier, but it’s more about balancing the weight. The headset is too front heavy with all that aluminium and glass. Adding the battery to the back would counterbalance the weight and make it more comfortable to wear.

What Apple advertised this for doesn't justify the $3500 price point. In its current state, it's an AR development kit that gets eclipsed by even the iPhone in terms of usability and sensibleness. It doesn't need to exist because it's a new shiny way to do my taxes - If anything it's most likely to serve medical and industrial fields a lot more then your average Joe looking to face-time his girlfriend in VRChat with RTX turned on.

If this is successful I'll wait for the Xiaomi version. If this fails more reason to bully Apple Users.

I have been in the walls that Apple never lets anyone else in and let Apple borrow my face. My face was used to create this new VR headset. That random unlabeled building in Sunnyvale you know what I’m talking about! Hundreds of scans on my face were made and I was sent to a room with what definitely did not resemble this product but, definitely was used in the research and development of this. This was roughly 2 years ago. I cannot divulge much info due to many NDA‘s that were signed but they did pay me 400 bucks.

4:30 literally ZERO people even HINTED or SUGGESTED people would or should be just walking around their house with this on "all the time" WHAT?. Why would even *THINK* anyone would suggest this. Why would you even do it?

I know someone who can easily afford the vision pro, but the 2 hour battery life is what put him off... This is just a beta AR/VR kit that you have to pay early adopter tax for it. The tech is really cool and will push the bar forward, but this is not a properly usable version. The battery can't even let you watch most movies.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they sold additional battery packs that last longer as an accessory.

They _have_ to make VR controllers for this to play have with. Gaming is the biggest use case for VR

We should keep new Austin and have old Austin back so we can have 3 at the table.

Oooo new guy is cuteeeeee 🥰

Interesting convo, but I am sorry Apply TV will never dominate the gaming space, lol

Oh my, Apple Next only has 1.1k subs? So comfortable in front of a camera and good speech. I thought for sure like 500k, earned my sub man!

11:05 Unless Apple did something revolutionary with how the inside-out cameras work, you literally cant get one of these to function in broad daylight; directly sunlight KILLS the cameras ability to track anything with any accuracy.

This was made for Apple Fanboys who would buy any garbage with a bitten apple logo.

This new Apple AR/VR headset reminds me of the movie Ready Player One

I'm gonna be honest while the tech is still early if this gets to 1k in price it's thinner and lighter this will replace cell phones, tablets, phones, etc everyone will just throw on a pair of glasses more or less that can see everything out in the world. We will be walking through a town and see advertisements in this thing based on some barcode or something on a building window etc.

Vision pro reminds me of ready player one

You’ll prob be plugged in to an outlet most times on the couch or desk, the battery is prob the power supply like an old X box and allows to keep the battery going if you need to grab something

The external battery of the vision is the best thing they could have done because it’s so expensive and whenever your battery degrades, it doesn’t render product useless. you can just get another replacement unlike oculus

This is the nicest "This Is" I've seen. Lets ditch Austin on This Is for good! 🤣👍🤣👍

Apple is late to the AR game. Microsoft announced hololens all the way back in 2016, so I was hopping that apple would do what they do best, and perfect an existing concept. but they haven't really done anything innovative with VisionPro. AR seems like the perfect tool for 3d modeling, and I've been waiting for years for someone to make an AR 3d modeling application. That would sell people on the concept of AR, and that it's not just a gimmick, but instead, Apple's just showcased another device to watch movies on. The hardware is impressive, but the software needs a lot of work before it's anything more that a really expensive toy, which is what hololens was.

I’m more excited for apples smart AR glasses if they ever decide to jump into that market

Wait for the cyclops mod for the external display!!!

I like this duo.... spin-off?

When I see Matt, I see Bobby Moynihan.

I will see the vision pro as beneficial when it doesn’t need the laptop. It has an M2 processor so the power is there to run applications by itself. I know the battery life would most likely be an issue in that case tho. Figure it out 😅

My brain cells were eating themselves watching this 🥴

Austin needs to chill on the tanner 🤣

I see the vision pro replacing the HoloLens 2 as soon it comes out

I think Royce and MKBHD are right: the Vision Pro is the beta.

Its not expensive, but the battery sucks. Great logic there.

It would be even more hilarious if his name was Austin too.

@This Is What do you think about what if sony as PlayStation collaborate with Apple for PS now becoming its own arcade subscription?

I am all for apple making a steam deck rival out of the ipad. The m2 chip is so good…underutilized

I hope Samsung and Microsoft work together for a similar product with the Gear and Holo Lens

The people who tested the Apple googly eyes also said it is way too heavy and uncomfortable after 30 minutes. 😆

Austin has been tanning and eating well lately

Royce was awesome, really enjoyed this episode. Sorry Austin your replaced lol joking!

Vision hardware is like 2026 and the costs that go into it could have been dropped significantly lower in that market. So instead of $3k, it could have been $1499 or something. IDK. If it's the hardware that's really jumping the cost, then that hardware probably would have been cheaper in 2-3 years enough to make the thing more competitive. Yeah, this is definitely "not for me" If I am going to make my screen bigger or watch a movie, I need more battery life.

Yes they've lost their mind asking €3,500 for an AR headset

I don’t care about VR I think apple vision vr is gonna fail

Just an iPhone and a laptop is a complete eco system for me

I'll stick to the Rule of 3, and consider buying when the 3rd generation drops.

14:28 Hell yes! That would be awesome 👍

How can apple make AR glasses with motion etc but can't add a touchscreen to there MacBook pro or MacBook air

Yeah, no. The price tag is as ridiculous as the 2 hour battery life but as we're talking about Apple here, it will be at least a moderate success since their logo moves products even if there's no reason to. Just because NASA designed a futuristic spoon, doesn't mean it should cost 10k.

Apple pippin haha

Battery Life is not a problem at all. Most using this will be at home. There is power cord that you can plug in at home for unlimited power.

Really sick of the battery life argument as it is just wrong on 2 points: 1st: It's an MR headset that can/will/should be used plugged into a power source MOST of the time. So, compared to literally EVERY other headset that practically *requires* battery life, like the Quest 2, because they are stand alone *gaming* focused headsets, the AVP's purely stand alone content is totally minimal at this point. 2: 2 hour battery life is LITERALLY the industry standard for EVERY stand alone VR headset currently on the market. So the AVP's battery life is by definition, not bad, it's STANDARD. It could be considered bad only if there were a majority of other standalone headsets that have nearly 2 times the battery life, but since there is no such headset in existence, by definition the AVP CANNOT BE BAD.

I think the price for the apple vision is fine considering they're not expecting everyone to buy one. They few people who buy them are going to be content creators and developers until the tech slowlu becomes more and more affordable.

uses m1 mac mini for some games that are supported now i wish we could run windows games on the m1/m2 chips

i have no clue why this could be worthy for anything other than keeping eye contact and/or working with apple products half decently because anything apple didn't make basically apple products fight against when trying to make them work together.

Apple has lost their minds many years ago, and you're just realizing this?

I think meta vr will be the “android” equivalent to apples vision OS

Also Meta showed the external googly eyes thing way before Apple, yet again something Apple claims but someone else thought up.

Don’t say you don’t mind the price in front of Apple because they’ll go further

Apple always end up giving in to practicality after their initial form and dictated use makes them look silly. Wireless charging and the Apple Pencil are good examples of things they campaigned against and mocked until they had to eat their own words. The Vision Pro may evolve into something more useful. Lets not forget that Microsoft had the Hololens 2 Mixed Reality headset 4 years ago, but they were mainly aiming at enterprise use.
