You'll need an appointment, a head scan, and prescription data to buy an Apple Vision Pro
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman outlines early details of Apple's plans to release the Vision Pro AR headset. Availability for the $3,500 device will be limited upon its launch...
For everyone commenting outrage, a very reddit thing to do btw, why not try reading the very short article and try some critical thinking. Lots of bad habits from reddit have made their way over to lemmy, can we at least try to RTFA?
Outrage seems common everywhere today. The good thing about it is that it lasts five minutes. And then they get outraged by something else. Oh, btw I had prescription inserts done for my quest 2 and the company required a prescription too.
Makes sense. I’m pretty sure many would otherwise give wrong, optimistic numbers for their vision and complain that their $3.5k device is not working properly and is blurry instead.
I guess it makes sense to need prescription data but its weird. Also if you get prescription version will anyone else be able to use it? Will there be swapable lenses for multiple users?
What do you mean multiple users? Everybody OBVIOUSLY needs their own device! And if your eyes get worse with age, you OBVIOUSLY need a brand new device! Swappable lenses, pfft, what is this, Marxism?
How stupid of me LOL- of course its a one user device JUST like a phone. I’m sure that’s how they’ll hit 4Trillion market cap next years. /s
didn’t they say during the keynote that the lenses will attach magnetically to the visor?
The inserts are magnetically attached so you can swap ‘em. They said so during wwdc.
Every VR headset needs lenses, and if you have a prescription you get a set for your prescription. If you don’t have a prescription, you get a generic set.
They are magnetic, so sure they can be swapped out. Extra sets for other eyes will cost something.
Sure, what’s the issue here? The article doesn’t say Apple is charging anyone for the appointment. This sounds like a premium experience for prospective customers with $3500 to blow that might not want to figure all of the initial setup stuff out themselves.
They’ll take these opportunities to figure out how to make the self-service as smooth as possible, and start selling without an appointment once that’s been smoothed out.
Plus an appointment is not required for those that have an iPhone with LiDAR which is probably nearly everyone who is considering purchasing this.
If you don't know how a 3500 dollar investment works, then the head scan is just a formality, proving that you have more money than brains.
I wonder if Apple will set up surgical operation rooms at the Apple Store when the iBrainchip comes out. /s
All cool things; what are they going to do with the size of my crane? Build a headset for it? I’m ok with this
