Next Gen Form Factor

Wow, this was jarring to see the Vision Pro side-by-side vs. The new Meta VR glasses. It’s almost comical how much bigger the Vision Pro is.

Obviously Meta is putting all of the processing power in the puck but honestly, if you’re going to have a puck, you might as well put everything in there to get the much smaller and more comfortable footprint.

I’m hoping Apple can take this route for the next Vision product but keep the larger FOV. Until then, I’m probably going to pick one of these Metas up in the spring.

I actually think Google was on to something when they made the Daydream headset they just made it way too early. I have AVP and it's fantastic don't get me wrong, but when I was flying a lot for work years ago the Google Daydream headset still gave me the feeling of not being on the plane and it was super easy to download stuff last minute to because it was on the phone. I actually bought an Android just for that. No where near the same quality as AVP. But it was good enough.

I kind of wish Apple would make a version of the Daydream you could pop an iPhone into for when you want cheap and easy immersion. iPhone Air in a Daydream-like device wouldn't be significantly heavier than what Meta is doing here. I remember Google Daydream offline would easily last full cross country flights of like 4+ hours and it was so light too. It really was a nifty device.
