Owlchemy Labs has confirmed that Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator are both 'coming soon' to Apple Vision Pro.
Job Simulator dev says we're close to mass market immersive VR.
What is the evidence for this other than 1 VR developers opinion? PSVR2, AVP, WMR have all stopped production not to mention countless other headset manufacturers have bowed out. Meta sales are flagging and Valve are pretty much nowhere. The remaining players are all interested in the latest shiny thing "AR Glasses", a far cry from what VR is.
All I hear are excuses from VR enthusiasts, But the reality is the patience and the consumers wallet is now empty with over a decade plus of trying to get VR to catch on. You have been given much longer than any other tech to catch on and it hasn't happened. I can attest from using VR extensively games are not inherently better in VR actually quite the opposite, they tend to be worse, They are more like Wii+ games, often shallow and janky controls that if anything takes the immersion out of the game. Sure you can get odd fun horror game but you don't even need to play a horror game to get jump scares.
The non game part of this isn't much better, I haven't seen any productivity app which makes the process of data input or graphic design faster, it just makes things slower. So it isn't even a more productive way of doing computing like Apple tried to sell it as. For this to ever catch on it has to be benefits all around when you put on a headset on and it isn't.
For most people wearing a headset is a negative to begin with so it ends up being a psychological uphill battle from the get go, especially if it is for work.
Where are you getting it that PSVR2 has stopped production?
You’re in the minority in your claim that VR versions are less enjoyable over 2d versions. RE7, RE8, GT7 are FAR better in VR.
Whether we are “close to mass market” is up in the air at this point. But I know VR isn’t unprofitable now nor is its growth to mainstream success impossible.
Some Apple Vision Pro users are experiencing mysterious cracks on their headsets, so much so that it's started "Crackgate" on social media.
With tax, over $3900...
Apple has some cajones, but the rich drones will buy it any.
It should be called Crackgate bc anyone spending $3900 on this headset must be smoking some serious Crack.
It’s got some impressive tech though. Comparatively speaking to buying a Mac mini and 4k display, is this that much worse price-wise?
If Apple end up making household robots (which appear to be on their way) you just know they'd price them much higher than the competition, it'd be like Android Vs Apple again.
If Steve Jobs were still alive he'd confidently tell people that, "you're wearing it wrong". 🙄
Steve Jobs would've never released a product that has you pocket a battery connected by a cord. He would've shamed whoever came up with that idea
I'd have to agree.
I do use a MacBook Pro and think it's a great piece of hardware for my lifestyle and occupation, but I'm not at all a fan of Jobs as a person.
That said, I'm feeling pretty sure he'd rather wait another ten years to release the first headset than make you walk around with a pocket battery. If that possibility never came, I don't think he'd release a headset at all.
Whatever we think of Jobs, he really made conscious efforts to do something different, which I can appreciate.
@DarXyde
Him and Bill Gates literally made their way by taking from others. They were far from creative. The iPhone was said to be the first of its kind yet others existed for years before it. All he did was bring it over to the US.
He would probably held them to a higher standard though.
that's why you don't jump the bandwagon on new tech. you spend potentially thousands of dollars to not only look like a tool in public, but also look like a fool when stuff like this happens lol
I like VR but 3500$ is stupid. It should have absolutely no issues at that price. Happy with
My PSVR2 and it has had no issues at all (though I want first party games)
Trying to bash Apple VR and then using PSVR2 as one of your points is asinine. Sure it costs less, but it has no support and is already dead in the water.
Sorry to break it to you man, PSVR2 is dead.
As far as this apple headset, the thing was dead in the water as soon as they said $3500.
When?
Oculus Rift launched in 2013. PSVR 2016. PSVR2 2023. I have been hearing that VR has been dead since 2014.
When is VR dead? Just give us all a date so we know when.
Sorry to break it to you man, PSVR2 is dead. A waste of $550 for certain.
As far as this apple headset, the thing was dead in the water as soon as they said $3500.
Funny, I was playing a game on PSVR2 earlier this week. Still plenty of games left!
You want it to be dead and you want people's investments to rot so you can stand back like I told you so.
it's not dead yet I'll admit it's not where I'd like it to be but it's still getting games just not big budget first party games Sony seems happy to pay third parties to build games for the headset like Capcom
@ProfChaos…Boy that sounds eerily similar to the problems that PSVR 1 had. So what made you buy this one? I learned my lesson. I don’t buy any of Sony’s gimmicks because historically they don’t support them long or well enough.
@Gamingforever
PSVR1 launched in 2016. 8 years ago.
Sony just released info that they are adding PC support for PSVR 2.
PSVR 2 was last year. Ripper says it is "dead in the water."
Oculus Rift was 2013.
Can you all just give us a date please. We want to know when we are all supposed to stop playing VR. I've been hearing the same claims that it is a gimmick and it's dead since 2014. It is now 2024.
Just give us a date so we know when.
Originally released for Oculus Rift DK1 in 2013, VR classic Proton Pulse is now available for Apple Vision Pro.
