Apple's headset is bananas immersive but these health warnings are pretty standard (or should be standard) amongst all headsets. Apple, of course, is typically the most cautious and proactive when it comes to user safety. https://twitter.com/...

This seems a bit alarming...I am guessing those prone to issues with PWM won't be able to comfortably use it either. We will see... https://twitter.com/...

@counternotions It appears that way. Life comes at you fast.

this market is already so narrow right now that these warnings only cut it up even further, I mean these are not small issues these are things TONS of people have to deal with https://twitter.com/...

It sounds like Apple will also have a hands-on area in the Steve Jobs Theater - open to developers — for after the keynote — in addition to headset building. The keynote will be played in the same spot as last year but there is a new shade to cover people and prevent sunburns. ht…

This makes total sense. Here's what I wrote in November and have believed for years: Anyone who thinks there's some metaverse virtual world with 3D avatars or such does not understand Apple https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... [image]

Apple's unique ability to fuse hardware, software and services is going to position it unassailably in AR/VR 👓 The emphasis on individual privacy is the icing on this three-layered cake. It is going to be amazing 💫 https://twitter.com/...

Will Apple use external devices w LiDAR to 3D scan avatars, or have extra capture/tracking while wearing headset? Just curious
