I honestly doubt this will take off, but it'll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

It's a really interesting product but unless you're a trust fund kid you basically can't afford it.

The apple strategy usually is to make a stupidly expensive product that everyone laughs at (remember the wheels for the tower computer), and then the actual product they expect people to buy.

They seem to have forgotten the second bit, but I'm wondering if something's going to come out in 6 months called just the Apple Vision

Isn't this like 2.5k? There's plenty of adults who can afford this without a "trust fund"

You're making it sound like it's 25k

$3,499.99 so 3.5k - I can buy a gaming PC plus VR headset for less than that.

How do you afford that gaming PC without a trust fund?
