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.

Is anyone else excited to see Apple's annoucements at WWDC this year?

I'm not sure why there is so much hype on an AR/VR experience. They've always seemed like a bit of a gimmic to me, as they don't seem good for productivity, and gaming in VR sounds like it would give me a massive headache/seasickeness.

I hope apple can push vr/ar forward because there is definitely something to the technology, but it isn't there yet.

Having said that, I really wish that it is anyone other than apple and meta that find success eventually. I don't really want to deal with either of those companies. Apple controlled vr will be expensive, closed and proprietary. Meta I have decided to give as little data to as possible.

Those are good points. I think we’ll see others start to succeed more once the hardware price comes down. Apple has a habit of driving component prices down due to the shear scale of manufacturing they require.
