• Apple Vision Pro Review: The Best Headset yet Is Just a Glimpse of the Future

  It really isn't 'miles' ahead of the competition. If anything it is way behind. For example, look at Varjo: https://varjo.com/products/xr-4/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Using a VR headset instead of monitors for work?

  The Varjo XR-4. This $4000 wired headset is general purpose PCXR. It has extremely high resolution and passthrough. It requires a powerful GPU to run it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you think apple vision pro screens will be ideal for viewing media content? And who is willing to pay $3,500 for a headset?

  Apple Vision Pro has a "PCVR" PC inside it - how much does say a Valve Index, plus all the accessories, PLUS the gaming PC required to drive it cost? I'd bet it's easily close to $3500. Varjo just released a new 4K HMD on Monday, which still needs a PC with something like a 4090GPU, and its pricing starts at $4000. Source: over 1 year ago

• Apple’s Vision Pro Is a $3,500 Ticket to Nowhere | A decade after Facebook bought Oculus, VR still has no appeal except as an expensive novelty toy.

  Go to this site and check out a comparison of the HoloLens to a passthrough based AR experience. Scroll about halfway down the page to the car with the slider. The reason HoloLens hasn’t succeeded is AR (non-pass through) in its current form is terrible. Source: about 2 years ago

• Apple Reveals Vision Pro Mixed Reality Headset

  Typical Apple price tag. I'll be very interested in seeing an in depth review on this headset. I work in VR development and have worked with most headsets including the £6,000 Varjo XR headset. Source: about 2 years ago

• Apple mixed reality headset display specs leak ahead of imminent announcement

  This is closer to Varjo's product line than anything offered by HTC/Valve/HP. For a reference point, Varjo's enterprise-oriented MR model, the XR-3, runs $6.5k while their consumer-oriented VR-only model, the Aero, runs $2k. Source: about 2 years ago

• Founder of Oculus: The Apple headset is so good.

  If the Apple hardware is as good as reported—and if Apple and third-party software vendors come through with the software, no sure thing—then at $3,500 US the headset will be excellent value for a) pro users who can justify the business expense and b) rich people who have $3,500 US to spare for a top-quality leisure device. It's certainly unfortunate that I, along with many others, won't be able to afford one for... Source: about 2 years ago

• Ming-Chi Kuo: Apple Reality shipping 3Q23

  Passthrough on low end and cheaper devices has not been great but Varjo's XR-3 has fantastic passthrough and Apple's headset is supposed to be in the same price bracket (with more cameras and an additional LiDAR sensor). Source: over 2 years ago

• Why VR has so high GPU requirements even with foveated rendering?

  I'm trying to understand how fast VR gaming can become mainstream. I've recently learned about Foveated_rendering. Wiki page cites potential for an order of magnitude fewer pixels to be rendered in comparison to a full image. However for e.g. High end varjo xr3 with "tracking at 200 Hz powering foveated rendering" (https://varjo.com/products/xr-3/) recommended hardware is RTX 3080 with two displayport cables...
