For productivity, the M2 MBA is great. But for movie-watching, this is no comparison. I'm not a member of "the jet-setting class", but I completely agree that this is going to be de rigueur for those folks. I wouldn't be surprised if first class cabins came with free rentals in the near future.
They need a better story for the lenses for that to become a reality. Anyone who needs corrective lenses will need to bring their own and my guess is they are going to cost around $500. I’ll eat my shoe if they are less than half of that cost.
Given the existence of prescription insert manufacturers, third party choices are likely to be an option. They're about 60 USD for the other headsets.
I'm seriously looking at implantable contacts just to avoid having to mess around with multiple pairs of glasses/ lenses.
Flights is one of the most compelling use cases for me personally. I’m tall and would love this. I also could use my ergonomic keyboard while looking up and ahead.
so you're going to be a tangle of wires that cant see the person in the seat next to you with these on on the plane. your ergo keyboard to the headset through a usbc adaptor with a mouse and the battery pack all on a tiny seat tray while you can't really see the keyboard or the mouse. got it.
I've done full passthrough, and the digital overlays over the keyboard suck when they come close to lining up correctly.
Done virtual desktop on the plane as well. if they're using kalman filters at all to correct for camera placement they freak out whne the plane moves at all. which it does, it's a plane. and let me tell you slow drift is how you toss your cookies.
I get how much people want them to be right. I do to. same as how cloud gaming just isn't quite there.
Doesn't a tangle of wires require more than one wire? This would seem like less of a tangle than someone wearing wired headphones.
