  1. The one thing that I want to see in an Apple VR headset is that they don't mess it up. I want it to make people interested in VR instead of making them write it off like they did with 3D TVs.

  2. Apple has already said they don’t care about VR, it’s all about AR. Not sure why all this coverage keeps referring to a VR headset. Maybe I’ll eat my words, but I think people will be very surprised (per usual) by the product and services Apple actually ships with this. And they’ll follow the same approach as with the Apple Watch when it comes to product-market fit. The biggest initial value areas will be gaming (Apple Arcade), productivity and sports/tv. But we shall see.

  3. They have to let Steam VR games in, just going to ignore PC VR gamers, isn't that what VR originally started for? No steam I'll wait for the quest 3 or HTC's

  4. I believe that VR technology is probably the closest thing to a 'Time Machine' as I'm ever likely to get. Therefore, I bought both 1&2 Oculus Quests hoping they would deliver but was disappointed. I want that 'killer' VR moment when I can put on an Apple headset with combined 8k resolution and CONVINCINGLY travel back through time to a bygone era- say Jack the Ripper's London and feel what it was like to be a resident when those historical murders were taking place in foggy, lamp lit cobblestoned Whitechapel. I'm 60 years and want mature experiences, not gaming- I've bought a handful, but they quickly failed to engage me. I effectively want a VR 'Time Machine' similar to the Starship Enterprise's 'HOLODECK'! – but on my head with minute detail via full resolution as though I was REALLY there. Or visit Ancient Rome's citizenry and a Colosseum spectacle etc. Developers please come up with an App. for this!!

  5. How about online shopping. Instead of using fossil fuels to go everywhere and anywhere just to do shopping- VR! Imagine how the companies would enjoy far less returns simply because "it isn't/wasn't what I wanted" or "It doesn't fit"! (Without driving up the costs of everything!!!!!)!!!!!

  6. If it had 3d interactions with the gorgeous & humorous Bridget then that would definitely give me the tingles😊 & definitely worth 3k lol, seriously though it would have to be extraordinarily advanced with a full FOV and pin sharp high resolution graphics with 120fps minimum. But battery tech is still severely lagging so hopefully we have a breakthrough in battery tech soon

  7. Thanks CNET for giving us more Bridget Carey. Her videos are the best. Keep them coming! The return of CNET Update would be amazing!

  8. AR. I am really excited about the uses with AR. And of course, something like “holograms” like you said when you are on a meeting room. This will be amazing.

  9. If apple gave us access to PCVR games (wireless streaming) we PC enthusiasts would buy it. But they won't cause apple is apple and want to control all the content

  10. Headset’s tragic flaw: Siri. Not A. I. Recorded scripts.
    “Here’s what I found on the web.” Not going to cut it.
    Apple has to release the control paradigm and bring A. I. onboard with the headset. Else, money down the tube.

  11. Apple could do it buy simply making a version of Logic Pro X for it and positioning it as a must have device for music producers for things like have virtual instruments that you could play or replicating world class master studios I usually use vr to play games like job simulator

  12. The deal breaker is how people interact with it. If it’s not easier to use than an iPhone, people won’t bite.

  13. While I loved your points I still think the biggest way it can win people over is one you didn't mention. That it using it as multiple monitors. I can only imagine how cluttered my workspace would get, going from having way too many tabs to having multiple screens where everywhere I look is somthing different, lol.
