if you don't follow vr/ar tech, you really have no idea how insane that hardware is i was kind of shocked it was $3500 because that actually feels kind of cheap

Looks amazing, but I’m interested in the use-case that justifies normal consumers to consider buying this at that price point. But maybe that’s not what they’re going for at all.

This isn't a product for normal consumers. This is Apple selling a vision (pun intended) of the future, not a product. Whales and Apple fanboys will buy Gen 1 but Gen 1 isn't meant to move units.

They have a serious chicken and egg problem on their hands where they need developers to help them figure out what the killer applications are and then they will build on those in future revisions of the hardware and software. This is how every Apple ecosystem has been built.

I’m just here for the communal whiplash after everyone download Unity3D, open it, and go “…wat”

Unity and Unreal are cool as hell. I wish we had tools that powerful for software design

I agree! And once you grog Unity's mental model it's kinda ridiculous how advanced a game engine is vs. a vector drawing program-ish with Figma. But I also remember coming from Sketch + 2D and opening Unity, and having no clue what was going on in it
