I agree with him. I find it amusing that in all the videos of Apple’s headset, the homes portrayed are nothing like a normal home. It’s always this stylish, spacious minimalistic home that none of us normally has.
Projecting a virtual screen in my actual, real home would be a very different experience that what they show in their videos. I would probably have more interest in getting away from it in a virtual world than embellishing it with virtual elements.
Yes, I agree. Like those first gen gold Apple Watches, Apple first generation of products (at least as of late) tend to be directed to developers or people with lots of disposable income. Then prices start to drop, and get more into the general public levels (though still on the premium side).
I think I disagree, I live in an apt that’s by no means luxurious. I’ve spent some time in VR and there’s just so long I’d be willing to spend in a fully virtual space. If you have dogs or people around you, you fully isolate yourself from them. If you want a cup of coffee or a glass of water the context switch could become a small inconvenience, etc for other small everyday stuff that VR hinders.
But I totally get what you’re saying and I’d love to have the option of both, but that kind of necessitates that AR tech advances as well as VR.
Yeah, one of the things I’m not convinced about that Apple device is that, if I want to share a moment with my son or my cats, I don’t like any kind of device to interfere with it. I’m bothered even by smartphones. My moments are mine, and I’m free to isolate myself if I want (it’s normally what I want). And my shared moments are dedicated to those I share them with, without any technological clutch in the way. Maybe that’s why I agree with Carmack.

So yeah, Carmack has a point here, in my opinion.

The Apple device does support virtual screens, but it’s not what they’re focusing on
