I can agree that an immersive photo or video in 3D presented back to you with your perspective vision could be a really powerful thing.<p>However...the conclusion is where things fall apart for me a little bit.<p>> Frankly, I think everyone is so focused on comparing Vision Pro to the Quest 3 that they’re missing the point of what the Vision Pro really is: it’s going to disrupt the TV and projection screens industry. Why would anyone spend $3,000 on a cutting-edge TV when the Vision Pro will give you a resizable screen that's also portable and can easily display all of your content?<p>I think this is quite far off. For one thing, the average person is absolutely not spending $3,000 on a TV. People look at my $1,500 TV like I'm crazy. A 65" TV is like $350 at Costco.<p>And, what, I need one Vision Pro per person in my house? So if I have 10 people over to watch football they need a $35,000 set of screens instead of one $1,500 screen.<p>Then I've got these spatial videos that I can't even take advantage of unless I have a Vision Pro. There's no other device where I can view them in their full glory. You don't even have that problem with other proprietary formats like Live Photos.<p>And, here's the other thing: prospective customers can't see the benefit of the Vision Pro without using one and giving it a chance. It's kind of a black box device that can't win over a buyer without something of a longer test drive. It's not like the original iPhone where one two-finger pinch resize of a photo can cause an audience to gasp and cheer.<p>That's going to be where the price is a <i>huge</i> issue. It was easy to just go and impulsively buy Quests because they are at a "toy" price point.<p>You know why people are comparing the Quest 3 to the Vision Pro? Because the Quest 3 is attainable at $500, and it gives you some of the more useful and impactful AR upgrades that someone would want. It's got working pass-through, you can watch videos on a virtual screen while you fold laundry.<p>Can't I play back 3D video just as well on a Quest 3? Presumably, if someone makes a simple camera app, you can take a similar "spatial video" and watch it with any VR device, since all VR devices have stereoscopic vision.<p>I'm sure Apple will eventually bring the price down for the Vision Pro, but it's going to be a long journey. I'm not betting against it, but at the same time, I'm not betting that it's the next evolution of computing.
