Makes sense. I’m pretty sure many would otherwise give wrong, optimistic numbers for their vision and complain that their $3.5k device is not working properly and is blurry instead.
I guess it makes sense to need prescription data but its weird. Also if you get prescription version will anyone else be able to use it? Will there be swapable lenses for multiple users?
What do you mean multiple users? Everybody OBVIOUSLY needs their own device! And if your eyes get worse with age, you OBVIOUSLY need a brand new device! Swappable lenses, pfft, what is this, Marxism?
How stupid of me LOL- of course its a one user device JUST like a phone. I’m sure that’s how they’ll hit 4Trillion market cap next years. /s
Magnetic swappable lenses I believe.
For $3500 they should have this.
Pretty sure the lenses cost extra. I heard somewhere in the region of $800 I think but I could be misremembering
I would guess that the Zeiss prescription lenses for the Vision Pro will be at least $300-600 a pair, unless Apple is eating part of the cost given the already high price of the headset itself. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) June 6, 2023
This is all I’m aware of, and it’s a guess. Personally I think every pair will need lenses, and if you have a prescription you get a specific set. If you don’t have a prescription, you get a generic set.
didn’t they say during the keynote that the lenses will attach magnetically to the visor?
Every VR headset needs lenses, and if you have a prescription you get a set for your prescription. If you don’t have a prescription, you get a generic set.
They are magnetic, so sure they can be swapped out. Extra sets for other eyes will cost something.
Sure, what’s the issue here? The article doesn’t say Apple is charging anyone for the appointment. This sounds like a premium experience for prospective customers with $3500 to blow that might not want to figure all of the initial setup stuff out themselves.
They’ll take these opportunities to figure out how to make the self-service as smooth as possible, and start selling without an appointment once that’s been smoothed out.
If you don’t know how a 3500 dollar investment works, then the head scan is just a formality, proving that you have more money than brains.
I wonder if Apple will set up surgical operation rooms at the Apple Store when the iBrainchip comes out. /s
All cool things; what are they going to do with the size of my crane? Build a headset for it? I’m ok with this
