The vision of many people, on their own, communicating remotely. Lol. As we all type into with overexerciswd thumbs on our macresource forum…

I fast forward through the video and saw the device is not cordless. I read rumors there is an external battery pack. How practical is that?

I would probably get one of the decimal point were moved one place to the left.

The cord is going to the external battery pack, that is designed (and sized) to slip in your pocket.

That sounds pretty practical to me.

The AVP won't run on two AAA or four CR2032 cells.

And it's a replaceable battery pack, no love for that ?

So the external battery will have to do, at least until the nuclear version ships.

If I get one, it will be for work.

I can see this as an awesome tool for education. But the Oculus was likely good enough for that.

The price point is interesting. Not for the masses for sure.

It is a non-starter for school use until the price drops to iPad level, and there is a way to monitor or lock what students are doing with it.

I haven't seen discussed yet how this Vision Pro Headset can be an inexpensive option for helping ALS patients or other who have severe physical limitations for communication and interaction with the world.

As far as I recall, assistive devices that are far less capable have cost far more.

People with challenges like carpal tunnel syndrome can get a boost in productivity that may make the price tag very palatable.

This product certainly isn't for everyone, but for those folks who have been desperately waiting for this technology, this can be a life changer.
