The concept of a VR headset whose headstraps are as comfy and well-designed as the Apple Watch bands is extremely compelling, ngl https://t.co/RiO7d0mB7m

How many of you think you’d pay $3,000 for an Apple VR device? https://t.co/oO0XdhP80y
nothing like publicly testing price points. $3k ain't it, @tim_cook. https://t.co/Yut0QDBsAX

If this drawing by @theinformation of a possible new mixed-reality headset from @Apple is even close to correct, it would be the ugliest, clumsiest product from the company since its first laptop in 1989, IMO. Information piece is at https://t.co/hpVzyLqunt pic.twitter.com/OQEmqvMkNZ

Apple is planning a high-priced mixed-reality headset and @alexeheath & @waynema have a LOT of details.

Wearing a headset for work always seemed migraine- inducing but maybe there's hope: https://t.co/4K883lhpTW pic.twitter.com/740DpdbRPs
That is an Apple Watch band on a pair of Oakley ski goggles https://t.co/L4JMAq3Hyz

At this price point and with the mixed-reality chops, this would be Apple's answer to Microsoft Hololens, which is essentially an enterprise product. https://t.co/JSMI4qUP3Y

— Jeff Cannata (@jeffcannata) February 4, 2021
honestly i can see this making sense if essentially it's seen as a super high-rez, high end monitor but it better be the most comfortable VR headset of all time https://t.co/YE8N8mDq7F

Apple is not usually the company that dumps expensive R&D projects onto the public. Very strange. Who is this for? https://t.co/H4OXi6fqDO

More seriously, everyone (including Apple obviously) knows that a $3k headset is not going to sell in high volumes. I guess Apple figured the way into this market is through specialised use cases in industry, before technology can miniaturise down into something consumer focused.

I don’t know the difference between augmented reality and mixed-reality but this is a lot closer to launch than a car https://t.co/9ETxuTLtd6

This is definitely sounding Varjo-esque. Haven’t tried their latest headset, but it costs $3000-$5000 https://t.co/6bp8mfqyWo https://t.co/g2PHOBpysf
— Scott Stein (@jetscott) February 4, 2021
$3K sounds like a lot, but 8K displays and iPhone-level performance would be better than the CPU and monitor setup I have now. I still say that a sufficiently powerful headset can emulate and replace any prior computing paradigm https://t.co/n5i8qOVHLS

New: I’ve seen internal Apple renders of its mixed reality headset. It’s a sleek, curved visor with swappable headbands and over a dozen cameras. Artist mockup of the renders: https://t.co/KMuncsbr7b pic.twitter.com/0FF5G87bwi

I don't know, I'd already be happy with a MacBook that can properly monitor a 4k external monitor without having to worry if I connect it on the left or right USB-C port. https://t.co/fDGo5fJEBK

Curious how that band design would work. Also- what about audio? (AirPods the assumed solution?) Would passthrough be good enough that flipping up wouldn’t be a need? https://t.co/APrW0M23Sw

Great scoop from @alexeheath and @waynema about Apple’s secret AR plans. But also, sorry, if someone came to Steve Jobs with this prototype he’d burst into tears and do an Odwalla hunger strike. https://t.co/pFJ4IMFlgs pic.twitter.com/J9RcL9y5hl

Exclusive: We have new reporting about an Apple mixed-reality device, including a drawing based on a prototype. What do you think? Is this a potential design that could attract more customers and make VR and MR mainstream?@alexeheath @waynema https://t.co/wvT9dYy8A2

If they can't overcome the motion sickness problem (and no company has yet), I'm not sure this will do well -> Apple is planning a $3,000+ mixed-reality headset w/8K displays, eye-tracking tech, & 12+ cameras to track hand movements & show the real world https://t.co/MdtzpXBGNy pic.twitter.com/TzChzHT9BD

One of the most interesting things about this is the lack on physical controllers, meaning nil compatibility with all at/vr gaming content out there rn. Thinking about how few devs customized content for $1K Valve Index features, how many will redesign experiences for a $3K hmd? https://t.co/TKk5y1yCzi

Other details about Apple’s headset, which it hopes to ship next year:
— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) February 4, 2021
- has discussed pricing it at $3,000
- working on thimble-like device for your finger to help control it
- has advanced eye tracking

Me in 2021: I'm going to drop $3K on Apple's headset and then $12K so I can have two 8K cameras to shoot stereoscopic footage for its crazy display
Not sure you understand what mixed reality is. Unless those 8K displays can let natural light through, they are VR, not MR. Analog->Digital->Analog is VR. https://t.co/pDbL7pvdqE

VRヘッドセットと違って、完全VRではなく、AR要素が強いらしい。
