I fondly remember the times where Glassholes were rightfully mocked. Now it's cool to drive around in your Tesla wearing an Apple Vision. It really seems to have become very normalized.
This may have more to do with your particular social circle (or mine) than a general trend in pop culture. I don't know anyone who thinks any of those are cool.
- it's too damn expensive (you look like a rich klutz wearing one)
- the content is mostly just normal games and videos that you watch in stereo
- the FOV and camera resolution are too poorly miniaturized to do anything serious with
Why doesn't it surprise me that public perception did a 180 when they saw the brushed-aluminum model with an Apple logo on it? At this rate Apple should sponsor a second Hindenberg just to check if their luck's run dry.
I dislike Apple's version for other reasons, but for something to out-dork me really takes a lot.
