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.

Yeahh… probably a good idea, seems like a pretty niche product.
Like the tech looks very cool, but that price point is crazy
Yeah, I can 100% see why it costs that much. All those cameras, high res screens, the crazy amount of electronics shoved in such a tight space, the R&D to make it all work together, etc. No way that’s cheap.
…But also, no one’s gonna drop that much on it. I don’t even want to spend the money on a PSVR2. I get that this can be used for things other than gaming, but there’s no way I’d ever want this thing on my face that long. Sorry Apple. You did an amazing job and it’s just not going to sell that well.
I know several people ready to place an order as soon as it's available, some of whom would just be buying it because it's a shiny new toy.
There is a market for it, just not shared with Quest nor PSVR.
I think at this point it’s pretty much a tech demo.
