Apple Vision Pro is allegedly heavy, not as lightweight as thought, no controllers for games? Why AR does not make sense at the moment (Hint: weight)
Mittlerweile konnten einige Tech-YouTuber wie mkbhd die Vision Pro kurz testen und schilderten ihre ersten Eindrücke.
Vision Pro ohne Controller für Games?
Besonders faszinierend soll die controller-lose Steuerung mittels Eye- und Handtracking funktionieren. Vor allem das Eye-Tracking soll genial sein. Das Headset erkennt genau, welche Schaltfläche man gerade mit den Augen fokussiert und mit einem Fingerschnippen wird das Symbol ausgewählt.
Allerdings hat die controller-lose Philisophie auch einen Nachteil. Sie ist ideal für die Steuerung von Fitness-Apps oder um ein Game oder eine App zu launchen, aber für viele Games würde einfach die Haptik und die Buttons eines Controllers fehlen.
Stellt euch einen Shooter ohne Controller vor. Das geht nicht. Das gleiche Problem hatte auch die Xbox Kinect. Ideal für Fitness-Apps, aber ohne Haptik machen Games nicht so viel Spaß.
Vision Pro ist schwer, Akku-Kabel könnte stören
Ein anderer erster Eindruck ist eher enttäuschend für mich und zwar soll die Vision Pro anders als gedacht relativ schwer sein. Obowohl der Akku extern an einem Kabel hängt dürfte das Headset wegen der verbauten Technik und den "hochwertigen" Materialien doch schwerer ausfallen als gedacht.
Gerüchten zufolge soll auch die Quest 3 eher schwer ausfallen.
Wahrscheinlich ist das Headset auch frontlastig, da es kein Gegengewicht hat und der externe Akku könnte sich sogar als unpraktisch erweisen, da das herunterhängende Kabel und das Mitschleppen des Akkus stören könnte.
Sehe schon alternative Straps, die den Akku am hinteren Ende des Headsets befestigen, um das Gewicht auszubalancieren 😂
AR macht im Moment keinen Sinn
Persönlich finde ich den AR-Fokus im Moment nicht so spannend, da ich nicht stundenlang mit einer schweren (und heißen) Taucherbrille am Kopf arbeiten möchte, um die Realität mittels Pass-Through und zweidimensionalen "iOS"-ähnlichen Apps zu augmentieren.
Allerdings muss man hier einige Generationen weiterdenken, sollten die Brillen irgendwann super leicht werden, vielleicht das Format einer Sonnenbrille oder Kontaktlinse erreichen, dann könnte AR doch Sinn machen.
Bis dahin bleibe ich eher ein Fan von VR als von AR.
Was denkt ihr? Ist die Ausrichtung von VR-Headsets als Pass-Through-AR-Headsets und Desktopersatz mit 2D-Mobile-Apps ein Fehler, den sowohl Meta/Facebook als auch Apple machen?

In the meantime, some Tech-YouTubers like mkbhd were able to test the Vision Pro briefly and described their first impressions.
Vision Pro without controllers for games?
The controller-less mode via eye and hand tracking is supposed to be particularly fascinating. The eye tracking in particular is said to be awesome. The headset recognizes exactly which button you are focusing on with your eyes and the icon is selected with a flick of the finger.
However, the controller-less philosophy also has a drawback. It's ideal for controlling fitness apps or launching a game or app, but for many games it would simply lack the feel and buttons of a controller.
Imagine a shooter without a (gun) controller. I can't. The Xbox Kinect had the same problem. Ideal for fitness apps, but without haptics, games aren't as much fun.
Vision Pro is heavy, battery cable could get in the way.
Another first impression is rather disappointing for me and that is that the Vision Pro is supposed to be relatively heavy. Although the battery is attached to an external cable, the headset might be heavier than expected due to the built-in technology and the "high-quality" materials.
According to rumors, the Quest 3 will also be rather heavy.
The Apple headset is also likely to be front-heavy, as it has no counterweight, and the external battery could even prove to be impractical, as the dangling cable and lugging the battery along could be annoying.
Already see alternative straps that attach the battery to the back end of the headset to balance out the weight 😂
AR doesn't make sense right now
Personally, I don't find the AR focus that exciting right now, as I don't want to spend hours with heavy (and hot) diving goggles on my head augmenting reality via pass-through and two-dimensional "iOS"-like apps.
However, you have to think a few generations ahead here, should VR goggles eventually become super light, perhaps reaching the format of sunglasses or contact lenses, then AR might make sense after all.
Until then, I remain more of a fan of VR than AR.
What do you guys think? Is targeting VR headsets as pass-through AR headsets and desktop replacements with 2D mobile apps a mistake that both Meta/Facebook and Apple are making?

Heart about the metaverse, and VR, but they I think are failed to make an impact, on the other side, AI, made an impact and everyone is talking about it.

@vikisecrets! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @thehockeyfan-at. (1/1)
That's a great comic! I agree, in a few years they will become much lighter and usable, but not possible quite yet!
I was actually thinking that I was the only one that the AR does not make sense to at the moment
Surely, $3500 is a lot of money. But it's a Pro version so it's understandable. But it's heavy, which is really something they need to look into if they want to cater to a wide range of people.
Ich glaube nicht das ich sowas nutzen würde, vom Preis mal abgesehen.
I don't know if the weight will be decisive, what I wonder is what its usefulness is, besides being one more tool for games.
Everybody is eagerly waiting for the release
Danke für die Zusammenfassung!
Sehr interessantes Teil, aber eher nichts für mich... Bin trotzdem gespannt, wie sich diese Technik weiterentwickelt!
Wenn die Dinger dann endlich im Apple-Store stehen werd ichs mir aber auf jeden Fall mal aufsetzen - denke das könnte eine interessante Erfahrung werden. :)
This just doesnt make sense right now, bullshit money taker
Great. I also wants to get this one day. Hope so.
I wants to try this. It will be great to experience it. But it will be costly.
All people are waiting for the bus to come and see what the quality is inside and how much more popular it can be in the coming days are famous.
It just looks like the technology isn't there. If it's so heavy and it isn't convenient, then I don't think it's worth the price range. I guess it is just hype at this point.
