A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There are a few other legitimate applications. Architects can offer people a 1st person view of a designed building. There are already companies that let people do VR walkthrough of homes they're considering buying rather than in person open houses (I think this started in the pandemic).
These things have value but they're niche applications that can be done with any VR headset.
With this headset’s personalized design, it would probably be uncomfortable for a lot of people to wear one that wasn’t made for them. I’m sure Apple never considered what a shame it would be for each person to have to buy their own…
Either way, other headsets would likely be better for these retail style use cases.
