And in Casey Neistat's video he's constantly using the QWERTY keyboard  :-DD

Marco:
The Sony XR headset is more what I would imagine professional to be. Function over form, compromises light leak for flip up, because the latter will almost always be more important in a professional setting. Doesn't spend weight allowance on the outward light field display borrowed from Meta.
SiliconWizard:
I don't think they care about the current state of this product, it's obviously just a big investment. What they want is to introduce a technology that they hope will be there to stay (and be on top of the game of course). Apple has always done that.
And it's not just Apple. They all want to go after this giant new market that is the virtual reality world. A fucking shitpile of virtual life, AI and artifical everything.

Do we realize how those big companies have so much power that they can potentially shape the future of humanity in very profound (and disturbing) ways. No single company should have that much power.
So an "epic failure", if that's really one, is rather good news. But I don't think it's enough of a failure to stop the crap.

I actually predict an eventual big social movement towards minimalist/no tech.
I can't put a date on it, but my spidey sense tells me that a lot of people will eventually reject a lot of this modern tech in favour of real life experience. Just like society is starting to reject other modern movements involving wokeness and the like.
VR/AR goggles like this in public might be in the "nope, too far" category for society.

I do not predict it for sure myself, but I do agree that it's rather likely to happen. Interestingly, I think the whole thing has already been "predicted" in numerous sci-fi books. Not that much because the authors were visionaries, but because it's a pretty obvious consequence of a highly artificial society. Heck, someone (that I will not mention or I could have problems :-DD ) said that "we must prepare for an angrier world". No kidding joe.
