You may not care, but social pressure is effects -most- people. If you think you look like a moron to everyone around you, you're much less likely to take part in something. If a "headset that makes it all disappear" is a Godsend...why haven't you already bought the various headsets currently available that could already do that and worn it on a flight? I imagine there are two reasons, it looks silly and because it has no brand value associated with it (like Apple), it looks -really- silly.
Generally because they’re terrible experiences with low quality screens that make me sick.
You’re acting like there’s a high quality experience in this space to be had and the only missing thing is an Apple logo. That is not the case.
The Quest 2 which cost $400 or so has a high-quality screen. I don't know the last time you've put on a headset, but the screens aren't the problem anymore. The problem are the other various fundamental flaws with the concept. In terms of having one in public, I have yet to see one, even this new Apple one, that doesn't look completely absurd. Tim Cook didn't even take a picture with the product on, because it looks ridiculous and is memeable. That is incredibly important, like it or not.
I have used a quest 2. It was… fine. It’s pretty charitable of you to say those screens aren’t a problem anymore, though. Still had screen door. Still made me feel a little unwell. Did it even do pass through? I seem to remember some awful grainy video feed.
We all have different standards though. Some people are already saying the Apple Vision screen isn’t high enough resolution either. Granted, none of them have gone hands on so I’m not sure what they’re basing that on.
Tim not wearing one. Good observation. I guess Mark keeps humiliating himself and Tim gets to learn from that
