It'll reduce a lot in price over the next few years. Almost all new tech starts like this.

I think from a work perspective they could be more 'available' I thought I heard they were 3 grand but the amount of stuff that could be added to these things could be endless

Just waiting on the device from the Woody Allen film Sleeper and that'll be that!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Very interested in this tech. Think it could be a gamechanger for WFH and even office settings, never mind recreation.

While the Vision Pro is probably the best AR hardware yet, it's still too cumbersome, intrusive and expensive. It's only when this can be shrunk down to something can be worn all day and as intrusive as wearing glasses that it will be a game changer.

That's Black Mirror right there. Scary how this will evolve.

Do elaborate

Did you ever read the Better than Life episode of Red Dwarf?

Was Gunmen of  the apocalypse not  a closer  related storyline to this?  I have to laugh at  Lister shagging the  tennis player  via the AI unit?

Was my exact thoughts when I saw this. It's mad how science fiction does eventually become science fact. Rehab centres in 50 years for IT addicts....

It will get to a stage in which people will not be able to function without wearing some sort of contraption like this in which they will be even more disconnected from the real world.

This was mental.  Annecy is my favourite place in the world, and I'll be going back in a few weeks to visit.  A complete nightmare.  We always go to playgrounds when we're away and would definitely have planned to visit this one. 

I hope everyone recovers ok.
