Does it matter (maybe not) that people wearing these devices look like patients in a mental health ward to people not viewing the digital program?

People can't even regularly and dependably suss out the reality before their naked eyes. Do we really need to confuse them further?

I think these devices have uses for certain purposes. Maybe pilot training or in training for certain kinds of high risk work, to walk people through the perils before they confront the actual situations.

But do we really want to be flailing through "virtual" tennis games, war zones, chess matches, and fantasy games?

We're already verging on screen addiction. People are harming themselves under the influence of sick people online.

The price will go down to about half of this cost. I hope that's still way too expensive.

Between this and baby SkyNet the military is bringing up to wage war... the survivors are half way to being human batteries in the Matrix, after the machines wipe us out.

I can't understand this obsession with alternative/enhanced reality.

Just because something can be invented it doesn't necessarily follow that is should me marketed.

So its first iteration is called 'Vision Pro', six months down the line once all the purchases have revealed its weaknesses and bugs they will produce a 'Vision Pro Plus', then 'Vision Pro Plus Ultra'......

Well that's my tuppence worth anyway.

Jay

Early adopters always get screwed but they just have to be first!

Not only bugs and wonky components but price as well, after a year the first release will sell for 2000 and the latest and greatest will be 5 times better and still go for 3500. Just like phones every year.

In bigger news Apple just announced they will no longer autocorrect any words to "duck" or "ducking" because it's never about a duck.

Paint me a premature stick-in-the-mud, but I'd pay not to have "mixed-reality" in my home.

I'm with you - id pay a monthly premium to simply avoid this.

Yah i just didn't know the rules on language even in "printed" form. Some sites are more like gulags so best to be safe. lol

I like this guy's writing and occasionally read his essays...this new one happens to be addressing this whole issue of how technology distorts our experience of reality...well worth the read imo.
