    The FaceTime Persona is probably the strangest part of the demo, but everything else looks very intuitive. Can’t wait to try out a demo in-store someday.

      Yeh, but I guess it is a reasonable solution to a situation where you are chatting to someone without a camera pointing at their full face and who is wearing goggles

          Proud Apple fanboy here, and I’d love to read your review!

          Screw the haters, you like what you like, and what works for you. I’d love to hear from the prospective of an Arch user.

          Hmm I could definitely see the harassment being a possibility. You’re right that there is a pretty specific user demographic here 😮‍💨 Looking forward to it, when you do! 😉

      I’m kinda confused so I want to see someone who is enough in the loop about the apple vr to explain this to me. If all it can do is watch movies and play 2d games and doesn’t have enough battery life to watch a movie, why???

          What would you be doing in ar with it? It just seems so awkward for any type of interaction and not really anything fun or worth anyone’s time or especially money. They already said it wouldn’t be 3d movies, except for very few, they would stay 2d. Also it would literally be cheaper to get other monitors.

              Alright I guess but does that really justify $3500 (and more I’m guessing since it’s Apple you will need to buy something else, for example the $60 prescription lenses on quest 2 are more than $800 for the vision pro)

          I’m hoping we can get emulators to run on it to play Nintendo 3DS games.

                The topic in this thread was about watching a movie with a small battery. My answer was you don’t need to use the battery when sitting down. Simple as that.

                And no, the „best“ experience is not walking around, it’s whatever you do with it. Sitting down, walking around, lying in bed, it doesn’t matter. You would know that if you watched the video.

      Can I ask why you think hand tracking in Quest is underwhelming? For the Quest 3, it’s fucking incredible, it recognises individual digits and gestures in all lighting and scenarios I’ve tested. Which generation did you use?

    What does “Supports multiple playback at 24fps and 30fps for judder‑free video” mean? I thought there was mention of the Avatar 3D demo playing at a higher frame rate.

      They match the refresh rate to the video so that the video frame rate is divisible. Supposedly there is a special mode where the displays run at 96hz instead of the normal 90hz when playing back 24fps video.

      30fps works fine at 90hz.

        Ocing the display to 96hz for 24fps video seems silly, you can interpolate frames to suit any refresh rate with no loss in quality these days.
