KFHEWUI 04/24/24 12:55:59 PM #1:	The Apple Vision Pro--a $3,500 mixed-reality headset--reportedly isn't selling too well and demand for the high-tech device is lower than expected, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via IGN). This has reportedly led Apple to make big production cuts, and it has been suggested that demand for the device has been weak in the US. Apple has cut its Vision Pro shipments to 400,000-450,000 units, according to the report, and Ming-Chi Kuo has speculated that the company may not release a cheaper Vision Pro model in 2025. It has been claimed that Apple is predicting a year-on-year decline for the headset in 2025. "The challenge for Vision Pro is to address the lack of key applications, price, and headset comfort without sacrificing the see-through user experience," Ming-Chi Kuo wrote. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/apple-vision-pro-headset-has-reportedly-been-met-with-low-demand-since-launch/1100-6522902/ --- R.I.P.

I'm in the aerospace industry and my job is in AR/VR. I'm on a buisness trip right now, sitting at a vendors table with my Hololens 2 right here (we're done and talking about lunch now). I brought my Hololens so we can see a model of our aircraft interacting with the thing we're buying to make sure everything fits, and the vendor can make markings on their floor so they have a better scale of our aircraft. The Hololens 2 is similar to Apple where Microsoft originally marketed it towards consumers and video games, but it's also $3500 so no one bought it. Now Apple priced theirs at the same price and seeing similar results. I don't have an Apple Pro yet, but other AR groups have it and say it's the best AR/VR device on the market. I don't know why Apple tried to make it for consumers, that would never work at that price. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconig posted [p:980071598] in Apple's $3...
