so Who Is This For? (and you can't say mark zuckerberg)

But none of this makes Meta back the money they invested in this. None of this is wringing out All The Money from businesses.

If you wanted to make useful AR you could probably just buy up a bunch of old Quest 1's, put the internals into a puck, and sell it for cheap. Do a Nintendo Gameboy and have these stupid things everywhere. Create the world of Dennoh Coil and sell people virtual pets. A shared AR world would be wild.

For the record, I do think there's legitimate uses for VR/AR in the workplace at the right price point and with _serious_ investment in software. Imagine manipulating virtual servers and networks in "physical" space. It could genuinely be transformative in a way an admin panel couldn't be.

And I'm not sure if they've really addressed the logistics of how this fits into your kit. Do you use it in a side room for specific tasks? Is it another occasional tool in your van for the worksite? Does it replace a laptop? What happens when people come up to you and just start talking?

Video meeting software is pretty good. So is design and collaboration software. We've been making productivity software for a long time without 6DOF and depth perception. Making architectural models is also a lot cheaper than $1300 per person viewing it.

Remember, it not only has to be good for productivity but 🚨better than the alternative🚨

Speaking of productivity, that's about the strongest case, right? Digital keyboards and hand controls and AI agents and they finally implemented legs in the metaverse! But it's still pricey for an office to buy for everyone and what's the killer software for it?

It's certainly not for enthusiasts. People are already heated over the 70 degree FOV and light bleed. You're tied to the Meta ecosystem (and now Muse AI lol) but that doesn't compare to the Apple ecosystem that you'd get from the Vision Pro. And they don't even have a Netflix app yet?

It seems like they're targeting mass market with the form factor and HMD weight + heavy puck. But the price ($1300USD) is insane unless you're well off or heavily invested in the technology. You also risk dropping it for games if you're moving around at all. So... media consumption? Productivity?

Good catch, thank you! None of the settings currently do anything <_< but I'll make a note to handle that when they do.

This guy gets it. When I think games without settings I think those awful gamemaker games that have a resolution of 400x200 and run at an uncapped 1000+fps

New small update to Stacksquatch! The colliders are a bit better, which is a big deal for a physics game! #solodev #indiedev #gamedev Check it: store.steampowered.com/app/937090/S... This is probably the last bit I'll do for #SteamVR. I need to bring the #MetaQuest version up to speed pretty badly.

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

Hot tip for small content creators, especially on #Twitch: 🚨Have a business/personal email in your bio🚨 I'm trying to give away free games that'd be a perfect fit for these adorable little channels and I have no way to contact them. I don't even require a review, just somewhere to put them.
