• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All I got was dirty looks in a sore neck.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I don't need that.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's one more thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: I'm strong and geddy, one more thing. It's hard to
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: imagine where this is going.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: One of the great companies of the world, Apple with
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: one of the great fails. Nobody really talks about anymore,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: but Jack. It probably still stings you a little bit.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The thirty five hundred dollars Vision Pro.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Ah, why does it stingy VR thing?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Did you buy that one?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I bought one for someone.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the headline in the Wall Street Journal they
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: paid thirty five hundred dollars for.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Apples Vision Pro. Year later. It still hurts.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: The mixed reality headset launched with great promise, but all
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: these buyers got were dirty looks and sore necks.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I don't need that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it you don't ever hear anybody talk about it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: It was the most extraordinary VR experience I've ever had,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: by far, I mean, multiples better than anything else I'd
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: ever tried. The problem still exists of Okay, that is
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: really really super cool.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: M No, I got other things to do. I mean,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: there's just.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think anybody I had a VR experience
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in the station that was a fraction the quality of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what you've described from the Vision Pro, and and found
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it just astounding and interesting. And I thought, I've got
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to get one of these systems. One of these days,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get one of these systems. And I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: never did, right. I just think this staying power, or
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the power to continue to amuse or use it isn't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: what all of us imagined it would be.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so had he ever done one of these just
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: out of curiosity?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: I have the I have the Meta Quest.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my kids use that occasionally, but not near as
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: much as you'd think they would, not as much as
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: you'd think they would.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: I haven't touched it in months.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the problem with all that's do you get
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: motion sickness?
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: No? I get headaches though.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, well similar sort of thing. Then that's my number one.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I would probably own the Apple Vision Pro. If I
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: didn't get motion sickness. I would use it for I mean,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: like for watching movies. Even if you just use it
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: for your Apple TV and you're watching four K and
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: the biggest screen you've ever seen in your life, it's
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: fantastic or anything like that, But get I get motion
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: sickness so bad, like a third to half of people do.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: That's the biggest hang up to anything VR is the
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: motion sickness problem. Until they cure that, I don't see
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: how it's ever gonna amount too much.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I was sure I was going to have that problem
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: when we did the demonstration of the station, but I didn't,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to my surprise, cause you know, I can't. I can't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: ride the damn tea cups at Disneyland because any any
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like weird visual stuff goes on, I'm in complete pass
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: out in puke mode.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: That's interesting.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Bother, that's interesting that the actual physical thing gives you that,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: because I don't get that, but I do from the
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: the I stuff. And like I did the ride at
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Universe Studios, the Simpsons ride, which is all a fake
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: roller coaster. You sit in a little thing, you put
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: on the reality vision thing and it's really really cool,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: but it made.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Me so nauseous. I was sick the rest of the day.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: It was horrible.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I took a little bit of an issue and with
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: the quest I had the little headset that you put
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: in so you get like the full immersed.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: I had a real issue with having lost all control
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: of my surroundings on like actual planet Earth.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Oh really, Yeah, I don't know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: Something really bothered me that, Like, if somebody walked into
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: my house, Oh, I was rummaging through my stuff, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: would have zero idea because I have this thing strapped
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: to my forehead.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there is a little bit of that. Yeah. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: did a VR thing in La one time.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I don't remember.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: It was where you you walked around with dinosaurs. It
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: was just stunning, cool, absolutely stunning. I would the experience
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: of sitting by a lake with the Apple Vision Quest
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: on my head or the Apple Pro on my head.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I can still remember. I can still almost feel when
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I think about it. It was so amazing. It was
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: actually like being next to a lake. That experience was
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: so fantastic. I could see why you'd want to do
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: that on a regular basis. But it's pretty pretty expensive.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So this one dude, Quintin in the article, he's a realtor.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: He's got them realtor eyes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, he says, of your watching movies and stuff,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he says, Oh, I guess he's talking about using it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for work.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: But he said it's way too heavy.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I can't wear it for more than twenty or thirty
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: minutes without it hurting my neck.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I was thinking if i'd watch movies, I'd just lay
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: in bed on my back looking straight up. I'd be
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: pretty comfortable.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Buyers who wore them in the wild say they got
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: nothing but dirty looks and sore next. Now the devices
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: are daily reminders of they're misplaced.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Bravado, who was going out in public wearing one of those.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that was the idea.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to look at it, you look
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: through it to give VR assistance everywhere you go.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: I don't want to live in that world.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I don't either, the I think the heaviness.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Well, so I don't do computer stuff, but if you
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: have a job where you do computer stuff, you can
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: have everything up on your screen in front of you. You
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: can have multiple screens. You move it around with your eyes,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: your hands, or you look at things and you click
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: with your fingers. I mean, it's it's pretty cool, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: apparently it's not cool enough to make people who do
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of work on computers rather do that than
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: sit in front of their screens.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: In their office.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Michael, No, it's just been my experience at any
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: of these products over the years involves you putting something
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: on your head, whether it's three D glasses for TV.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: I remember a couple of years ago was supposed to
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: be big.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe people just like it, accept the idea of
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: putting something on your head. I thought the Apple Vision
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Pro might catch on with people who are pretty frequent travelers.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: You aren't just waked looking at your phone to watch
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: a movie. You're taking in like the greatest Imax theater,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: sitting in the seat of your plane. But I don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: think I've ever seen one human being with one of
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: those on their face on a plane now.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: And according to the Google, these things weigh about a
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: pound and a half. So if you think about that
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: amount of weight when you're trying to move your neck
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: around and stuff that kind of residual pole, I could
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: see how that can start messing things up if you
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: wear it too much.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Well, that's so funny. You should bring that up.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Jack.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: The next thing they talk about is this one dude
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: who takes his vision pro on flights to watch movies.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I get pretty dirty looks from people.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I don't need that, he says, But then funny people.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Care about that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I don't give a crap. If you give me a
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: dirty look. I would never notice what you think what
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I'm doing is I can't even imagine caring.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But another reason the thirty five year old stopped flying
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: with it. The size of the case sold separately for
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: one hundred ninety nine bucks. The vision pros pillow like
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: white protector is about a foot tall, nine inches wide,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: six and a half inches deep.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It takes up like half the volume of my carry on.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It's a fair amount of equipment you got to carry
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: with this because the battery to have four K at
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: that I mean, to have that level of graphics takes
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a pretty powerful back.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: You be able to do it free length of time,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and you got to carry that around with you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at eBay and here's one for two
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: grand twenty four hundred, twenty six hundred, twenty nine hundred. Ooh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: here's one for two hundred and fifty six gigabytes and accessories.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Does that matter, Jack, You.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Don't need to worry about the gigabytes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: No, not yet anyway, eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred. Here's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: one for sixteen hundred and twenty five bucks.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: That's about yeah, Because I was looking at them at
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: that long ago. A couple grand will get you a
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: good one that's hardly been used. If you want to
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: try it out, they make one that's a terrabyte or whatever.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You just don't. You don't need that much. It doesn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: do you any good.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, interesting, you know for for sixteen hundred bucks,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I guess I could see it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Can you like? Can you like tour?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Great? The great cities of the world, do they have
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that sort of a.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: There are a few things like that. That is one
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: of the drawbacks. I've done a lot of reading about this,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: because I almost bought one for myself. The big hold
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: up is apps. It didn't catch on enough that there
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: was enough money in it for any of the big
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: app makers to really pour a lot of R and
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: D into making great apps, like happened with the iPhone.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: iPhone shows up and then all of a sudden they realized, Wow,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: this is a great opportunity. We should, you know, do
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: everything we can to come up with an app people up.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: That has not happened with the Apple Vision pro so
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: there just since it's been out a couple of years,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: there haven't been many great apps come along real really
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: hardly any.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Wow Wow, here's this one guy, an Apple super fan
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: who thought the vision Pro could be the next iPhone.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: He flew to New York from Israel last year to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be one of the first people to buy the headset.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: At the store, he met Tim Cook and got him
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to sign the back of his iPhone and his vision
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: pros box.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: It's incredibly impressive. You just got to figure out what
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: would I use this for and when? If you haven't
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: done the demo, It's really easy to set one up
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: at an Apple store. You know you're at gonna be
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: at the mall. Set one up, going there and they'll
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: demonstrate it for you. It's stunning.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: He says he doesn't regret the purchase. He still loves
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: watching movies with his Vision Pro, especially three D films
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like the recent Metallica, sold as an immersive experience of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the heavy metal band stadium filling live shows.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It feels like you're at the concert, he says.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: If I was childless, I would own one, but I thought, Okay,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: so I got this great, I'm gonna watch one.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I never watch movies alone. I watch movies with my kids,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: so it's no use to me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Sitting in the living room with your kids. Oh guys,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: you should see this is about.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: You can't watch this great movie I'm watching while you
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: sit and stare at your dad on a Friday night.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Or the three can sit there each wearing a thirty
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: five hundred.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Dollars spend ten grand exactly.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: That was the other thing that they thought might catch on,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: is that like you have one on here and your
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: daughter in another town has it on, and you communicate
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: that way with your avatar.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But it sounds great, it sounds great, but people don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: seem to be doing it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Oh figure, Well, we'll see what happens. But I think
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: this thing's gonna slowly fade away to be one of
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: those products we're gonna look back at and go remember when, Yeah, well,
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: I guess that's it.
