This is what the Mojo Vision guys were working on, and showed an initial prototype.. unfortunately they've realised it was too adventurous and have killed that "vision" and pivoted the company to micro LED displays. A large number of the team involved with the contact lens project sadly have moved on already...
Yeah none of this floats my boat. I think those look ultra dorky. The technology simply needs to get smaller, and the user experience certainly more refined than where it is right now - for me anyways.
I absolutely agree that this by far has been the best VR/AR product offering to date & to have the brand, ecosystem and dev pool that Apple has already going in and the possibility there is fantastic. I'm more interested to see how development takes off and how this is used. Just like ios, the vos apps are what are going to make Vision Pro useful and a success or not. Once a path forward is fleshed out, that is when Apple releases an attainable version tailored for the masses. I think I may be a little too old to see the value in or perceive the need to have something like this stuck on my face all the time but I absolutely see kids/young people thinking and doing just that. It'll be interesting to see how Apple portrays use of Vision Pro moving forward as for example many actual dads have found the WWDC birthday dad scene completely ridiculous & completely out of touch & a turn off frankly yet there it was. How Apple portrays use will be very impactful on kids in how they choose to use the AR/VR tech that they will undoubtedly try and likely adopt at some point. Anyhow that is a bit heady & for a different thread - I think this is some pretty F'ing neat hardware. Very cool to see where Vision os goes as well.
