Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

Jump

  • Eh. It's a bit more handwavey than that. It's whatever you want it to be.

    Virtual reality was supposed to be simulated, but "actual still science fiction" levels of simulated. seamless 3d environment, intercepting nerve signals to look and intuitively control an avatar or ready player one had a haptic suit.

    AR stems from that and was supposed to be "the real world, but cyber". Or "VR, but with real world elements". In the novel "virtual light", it's supposed to overlay that "datasturce of cyberspace" on the real world. Even then it was never really clear what purpose cyberspace as a 3d world would have, what data looks like or should look like, and what the advantage of that visualization would be. Or why would rather see that than what the world looks like.

    Mixed reality is also that. Imo. It sounds the same to me too.

    The whole thing is like hand gesture control. It looked great in minority report, but we had it since one of the 2010s xboxs and it went absolutely nowhere.

    posted every 3 months or less and he hasn't uploaded for a 6 years.

    I hope he's alive and well tbh.

  • There may be a few catches here and there, but overall the game works, the world is pretty big / big enough and the features are well designed and well paced enough to keep people entertained for several dozens of hours.

    That's what I mean by "well made". It's not an actually unfun game with bad explanations.

    • very upsetting

  • I mean, I won't deny that small bit of skill it took to construct a plausible sounding explanation for why the public should support your investment, because it's "not illegal (yet)".

  • It's just a well made game in an era of badly made games that hype themselves up bigger than they are.

    Palworld is "just" good monster collection, good combat and some good survival crafting. I'm not going to play it, but it's very easy to see the appeal.

    It's like the newer doom games. They're "just" good shooters. You "just" get to go through well built levels, nice visuals and good music.
