For work, I cannot see myself wanting to use one, but for media consumption, it would probably blow everything else out of the water, assuming you’re cool with being fairly isolated in your experience. They sort of teased this, but being able to watch something like Avatar 3 with Pandora as my surrounding sounds so incredibly cool.
assuming you’re cool with being fairly isolated in your experience
I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be cool with that… but for me most of the times that I’m watching a movie it’s with my partner, it would be rare to sit down to watch a whole movie on my own except when i’m traveling
Although the part of the video where they showed it being used on a plane? I mean… yeah might look weird… but being able to tune out the rest of the enviroment and isolate yourself? That does sound pretty amazing.
I did find it a bit funny when they mentioned something along the lines of, “Look how many devices this one device can replace, such as your TV, and monitors, etc,” which is true to a point… If you are the only one who actually uses those things. I have a wife and two children, and a nephew who frequently comes over to watch TV. If we all wanted to sit down and watch a Movie together with this experience, I would have to shell out $18k. 🥴
On the other hand, for single folks like me it seems worthwhile. I game on a 4K projector that costs $3000, I also used to have a 49" ultrawide monitor which I sold off recently cause I was using my projector more, so at least for me, Apple’s headset could replace a bunch of my costly gadgets - assuming it has video inputs of course (not sure if it does, haven’t seen any mentions of it).

I used to use my Google Daydream for that. It let me watch Westworld on a plane without being inappropriate, and it cost me about fifty bucks.
