I feel like a tween with embarrassing parents when it comes to the human race. “I’m not with them!!!” Is what I’ll scream when the aliens come…
I think aliens would be horrified by so many things we do (or don’t do!) that wearing an entertainment device on your face wouldn’t even break the top 100.
ETA: The guy in the cyber truck though. That might get shown as an example in some of the other items in their list.
Honestly I just would love to be a fly on the wall as someone explained Easter to them…
I welcome the end of 90% of the human race.
The gym one is a pretty solid idea, I dig it. The others feel like they were done for the memes (the gym one probably was too, but definitely the guy crossing the street).
Except the sweat.
I have had my share of “exercises” with VR headset on and the sweat is real.
Dude just wearing the damn thing makes me sweat lol
Transit is also fine. They’re not getting in anyone’s way or risking anyone’s harm.
Walking is actually one major use case for the future. Imagine walking somewhere and having turn by turn directions provided for you. The issue with this person is that they stopped in the middle of the road to adjust something on their screen. Also, I don’t think walking directions is even a feature yet.
There’s obviously something already wrong with the Cyber Truck driver. I mean… they bought a Cyber Truck.
One step away from cybertruck+neuralink.
Imagine walking somewhere and having turn by turn directions provided for you
Imagine having a phone
I don’t recognize how one is more outrageous than the other.
According to this thread one currently appears stupid and the other one is socially accepted
I’m not sure I can consider Lemmy as a source of social acceptance sorry.
I mean, you’re not wrong. When I’m navigating though, I hate having to hold my phone out, while constantly looking down. If I had a less intrusive, but also way less obvious set of glasses, to just point out directions as I look around and see the world around me, I would be happier. Especially when going somewhere new. That said, these goggles aren’t the answer yet.

We see like 10 seconds of him, most of which is him using the machine…?
He’s using it though.
I can imagine having a tutorial on how to hold and move your hands floating in space right next to the grip could be pretty nice for beginners. Or just make the boring exercise more interesting by watching some form of entertainment.

They killed google glass for this?
Google glass was more camera than display These seem to be more about display than camera. Still an outrages intrusion of privacy
O.o Apple killed Google Glass?
I should clarify that “they” in this context is the consumer, who rejected Google Glass for a multitude of reasons, but embrace this product which is essentially the same thing, except bulkier. I can’t really wrap my head around it.
This is vastly different than Google glass on many fronts.
Just to name the more obvious ones:
- Higher quality output
- Full visual
- Both eyes
- Internal face scanning
- Eye tracking
- An actual app ecosystem
The glass was a dev kit, at best, and funnily enough ran fairly close to the cost of the Vision Pro when you take inflation into consideration. And the reason it failed was more because Google lost interest and killed it, like they do with most of the things they put out.
I’d like to think that with a decade of time spanning between the Google Glass devkit and Apple Vision, had they chosen to continue development, that they could have improved on their initial design with technological advancements in hardware that would absolutely allow them to do a higher quality output in both eyes and incorporate eye tracking.
The main reason why Google abandoned the project (in the public sector, anyway) was the metric fuckton of negative press it was getting, mostly due to neo-luddites obsessing over the fact that it had an outward facing camera as if they weren’t constantly under scrutiny and surveillance by cell phone cameras and CCTV anyway. The media coverage of the product was way outsized compared to the actual number of users. Another reason is people weren’t convinced that this early heads-up device was worth the cost since as you mentioned it was expensive even back then, and most of the comments I saw about it at the time believed that the bespoke glasses they came with were dorky looking, not to mention lenses were not available in prescription strength, so yet another limitation that could have been overcome with a bit of engineering effort.
I don’t disagree that Vision Pro is better, but it looks like a huge step back in terms of style and practicality. Who wants to walk around town with a VR headset strapped to their head? It really does look like the NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077.
Come on, it’s a prank.
As in Tim Apple pranked them out of 3.5k.
Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the norm 20 years from now.
Nah, it will be an implant in 20 years. Lol
But actually.
Can’t wait to wake up from a deep dream with an epiphany, finally realizing my life’s true path: To use my life savings to buy as much Taco Bell as possible
Yeahhh… I really hope the transnational sociopath corporations don’t have too much control over the tech.
Thank you Tim Apple
Looks like someone needs they’re license privileges revoked.
It’s a Tesla, the AI drives.
Does it matter? Tesla requires you to still keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention, and not everyone will know that they are using autopilot, and considering she’s driving a cybertruck which is bulletproof and durable as shit, imagine what would happen if the autopilot stopped working for some reason and she didn’t know.
So if a Cybertruck runs me down in a crosswalk, does my newly widowed wife sue Tesla or Apple?
Both? Both!
Both is good
Yes!
To me it looks like rage bait.
I wanted a discussion, not to provoke rage. Some might agree, others not.
I’m not talking about your intentions. I’m doubting the authenticity of those clips. The clips look produced to induce rage in people, because rage drives up engagement, and engagement drives up exposure.

Clearly apple does not allow porn on these devices! /s
I assume porn being one of the key selling points
This music is from the Annihilation score, right?
Works very well with the visuals.
Thanks, I was watching on mute and wouldn’t have known they used the song on the video if I didn’t see your comment.
This looks like a episode of black mirror
(Google) Glasshole… (Oculus) Questhole… (Apple) _?_hole
Ahole seems too easy.
“Pink different.”
Apphole?
iHole
Hardly seems different than every fucking human in existence walking around with their eyes glued to their phones
Those were my initial thoughts as well. The device may differ, but it’s basically the same thing.
