You cannot wear Apple Vision Pro while wearing eyeglasses. If you require prescription eyeglasses, including for astigmatism, you may be able to order prescription ZEISS Optical Inserts that can be used with your Vision Pro.https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213965

By all means capitalism complainer, go buy one and be useful to society.

Until they improve on this and many other things, it'll just be an unaffordable fad that most people cannot even use outside their living room. Good attempt at this though, for a Gen 1. In about a decade they'll be able to fix the current processing power of an RTX 4090 on a SoC.You cannot wear Apple Vision Pro while wearing eyeglasses.

apparently 200,000 units already sold
This is a proof of concept and may very well launch a new era of computing, similar to what the iPhone did in 2007.
Remember the iPhone launched with tons of critics including Microsoft's then CEO Steve Balmer saying "Apple's new invention is a waste of money. "Five hundred dollars? Fully subsidized?".
At the time the iPhone ditched the physical keyboard, had only a few apps, no AppStore and critics said it lacked productivity and ability to operate in a business environment.
Apple has been creating devices like the iPod, iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch etc that changed the industry in each segment.
Apple sells some of the best laptops and computers for creators, I don't think their plan is to cannibalise that.
maj. tom wrote:The point I was making about why 3D TVs failed is that manufacturers did not account for two things: affordable consumer prices that makes it just within reach of everyone to be able to eventually adopt it (like the iPhone), and that not everyone has perfect stereovision. Almost everyone has some degree of astigmatism. Not being able to use it with glasses and they suggest to buy Zeiss Optical Inserts in your glasses prescription. If they don't fix that issue, nobody with glasses will use it and only if they have contact lens. These days that's quite a large percentage of the population, and especially younger people have out of control myopia progression now. Not addressing the variable field of view for every individual with software will make it fail just like 3D Television.
Like I said, it's pretty amazing Gen 1 what they did here. I hope this won't be a dead end and that this is truly another turning point for consumer-technology devices as the iterations and clones and other manufacturers get on board. But it's only if people are going to use them consistently like the iPhone that will push innovation. Facebook is definitely going to do something big with their Meta Platform to take advantage of this device.
