Too expensive. Locked down Apple shit. App development minimal.
Apple execs are stupid af.
If I could slap a movie I downloaded into this bad boy and watch like I was in an actual theater, I'd get one. But knowing apple I'd have to rent one from their store. Fuck that
you can do that with any media player like Infuse. Why do you think you can't play videos on apple devices?
I have absolutely no doubt you could do that. They aren't so locked down that you can't play video files lol
There are plenty of Mediaplayers on the AppStore that can play about any movie you throw at it…
On one hand, you can do this much cheaper with very similar results (not exactly as good, but the ratio of quality to cost is impressive), on the other hand it requires giving money to and setting up an account with Meta.
The Meta Quest 3 is a standalone, untethered headset that has pass through AR and hand tracking. It's nearly $3000 less than the Apple Vision Pro.
