>>108807542You could add the Occulus Rift in a way to that. It's just Tim Apple's attempt flopped harder while the Rift had a few curious people and then died because nobody really wanted to walk around with a goggle strapped to their head for the usecase.memes of virtual building walkthroughs/etc.

>>108807892No it wouldn't have. The price wasn't the obstacle. There was zero use case or demand for this.
>>108808258would have been great if it wasn't such a piece of glorified-smartphone garbage

>>108809449>estimated 3 million units sold in the same generation as the xbox, gamecube, and ps2>grand total of 65 official gamesIt really just didn't do well. First version was clunky, and second revision didn't take off. Even the dreamcast in a similar timespan sold more units and had more games.
>>108807762Prog is gone now too.
>>108807871n64 was successful as for the 64DD it was one of those nintendo niche memes, it was probably not that expensive to R&D and it was probably a loss in pure financials but this kind of thing generates hype and fanboyism even if it doesn't really make it to market so as a total, I don't think it was a big loss.>>108807542>>108807892>>108808242>a versionNah, it would need to be this version or better. But it would probably be selling it at a near-loss and apple doesn't do that.It's not worth the $3500, niche troubles and poor battery life, and it looks like shit, but it's arguably the best version of VR yet. VR at home sucks, it's too low res for use as a monitor, there's a total of 1 real game after all this time. iVR has the best tracking and no-controller controls. BFor youtube + video call while on commute or grocery shopping? Sure. If it got popular there could probably be straps and "cases" that made it look cyberpunky. And people wear shit-ugly bulky over-ear apple headphones on planes all the time. I could have been a thing.>>108808053Windows phone / pre android & iOS smartphones didn't flop. Just got replaced.

You have a real browser with extensions, windowing, can run anything, just that makes it miles better.>why not just get an iPad ProBecause it's a oversized iphone. It's only viable for drawing (small niche) and actual retards.

I fucked up enough with physical keys as it was and still do. Typing on a smart phone without the correction suggestions bar would be so bad, I depend on it to write in a timely manner like right now.>>108808451Wanted this so bad back in the day and still consider grabbing one off eBay some day. I have a sealed copy of Tomb Raider for it just because I have a TR collection.>>108809557This shape seemed totally retarded back then, it still is retarded, and I expected it to never take off.>>108809766Wanted one of these so badly for my first car when I depended on Mapquest printouts to go anywhere new.>>108809920You leave my error log parsing/note organizing/better-than-any-other-search-engine assistant alone.

The more responsibility you have, and the more complex the tasks you do, the more you'll get back from it.
>>108807542Shame these didn't catch on, I'm a bit of a techy-geek and wore it out and about in New York, had to pop back to my apartment every 30 minutes or so to recharge it but got plenty of looks, people seemed to dig it. Tripped over a few curbs but that's because I was responding to texts at the time and the keyboard was slightly in the way.
>>108808451Someone post the goatse greentext of this shit its hilarious, pretty sure the story is legit too.
>>108810472>until I considered the actual experience of using it. I fucked up enough with physical keys as it was and still do.

The Ouya, or really the motherboard that they were holding, looks 2x larger than any phone I have seen. It was designed for indie games, not shitty iOS games. I bet it can run every game on the Humble Bundle except Amnesia.>You have 15 seconds to explain why you aren't supporting an open-sores console maker.>this is a one of $99 payment comes with a bluetooth controller with a touchpad ... xbox pad cost $40 on its own ... I can see the ouya as being a little bit of fun, and I could just use the controller on my pc if I wanted>"the Ouya won't be a success because it can't play games." Ouya now has Onlive to fix that [...] Now you really have no reason not to get this.
>108810527I run a business and this thing is a godsendobvious bait or terminal sunk cost cope. the "LAM" was vaporware from day one, it was a GPT 3.5 wrapper in a $200 chinese puck that your phone already replaced. agentic AI actually exists now and it runs on software not some dedicated taco bell toy. r1 guy is either trolling or the most gullible person on the planet

>>108810366>but it's arguably the best version of VR yet. VR at home sucks, it's too low res for use as a monitor, there's a total of 1 real game after all this time. iVR has the best tracking and no-controller controls. BFor youtube + video call while on commute or grocery shopping?How when macfags can't even justify doing this after spending the money. The problem with the vision pro, other than watching movies or looking at VR scenes, lightweight AR glasses really fill the youtube + video call on commute use case you are talking about. VR can be miniaturized a lot in the future but apple should've taken a look at the size and weight or their own product and made it a good gaming device without marketing it as such.VR gaming is disappointing but it chugs along and there are more decent games than you have time to play, but everything you're supposed to use the vision pro for you can just do on your flat devices without wearing a brick on your face. At least a VR game can be novel and unique enough to justify wearing a brick for 1 or 2 hours and I can't substitute the hardware for something everyone has like a phone.
>>108811101>How when macfags can't even justify doing this after spending the money.apa sayang?>The problem with the vision pro, other than watching movies or looking at VR scenes, lightweight AR glasses really fill the youtube + video call on commute use case you are talking about.Sure being more lightweight is good but it's important to have a baseline experience in tracking, passthrough and control that visionPro just barely hit that.>and made it a good gaming device without marketing it as such.Wouldnt have done them any good (or anyone else for that matter). Buying into that meme with price-sensitive gamers would be pointless, apple shills would say it's the best for gaming anyway, and it might actually get a game just from the userbase.>there are more decent games than you have time to play,Oh really? As far as I know VR only has one real game, alyx. It did get plenty of indieslop 5+ years ago but the whole time all they could recommend was beat sabre.>At least a VR game can be novel and unique enough to justify wearing a brick for 1 or 2 hoursNovel isnt enough, needs to be a baseline level of decent which is where apple has been good historically and where all vr games fail other than alyx.
>>108811149It's not important though. AR has perfect passthrough it just has worse everything else. But you don't need flawless hand tracking or lidar sensors to video conference call or watch youtube or browse the news or play angry birds or the basic general computing stuff the vision pro was after. The only necessary thing was the high resolution for reading text but with all the downsides of the device, no body is using these to replace even multi monitor setups which is the worse use case for physical monitors for space used, portability, expense, etc.Either way you're dealing with a small market and you're just cutting it down further by not including gamers. Disposable income dads were the only market for the vision pro and they can't play games so that's the most compelling reason to own a VR headset in the garbage.It's still carried by indieslop. If you want another AAA you can get hitman WOA which is 3 hitman games. Forefront is also newish which is a good big multiplayer battlefield clone.Don't get me wrong vision pro is one of the greatest hardware demos of all time I'm just saying it's not something I can recommend to anyone so saying it's the best version of VR is a maximally absurd claim. I feel like the first lucid VR headset that understands the problem is the steam frame because it's a full featured headset that's lightweight.
>>108810979>failedmeh, people used ipods for a solid decade. the real "failed" tech was the ipod touch.
>>108808793yes niggers in modernity is failed tech

>>108809898>It's still kino and actively producedIt's rumored they've stopped production on the Vision Pro so they can sell through their existing stock while they figure out how to make it a lot cheaper.

>>108809597Stats say that most sales happened in 2024 entirely, and they sold about 130,000 units total.
>>108809839It's telling how you got viscerally upset and resorted to emotionally charged language in response to a totally neutrally worded post. And that's okay. It just automatically makes your opinion totally irrelevant.
>>108810445>You have a real browser with extensions, windowingI can tell that you've been a long time Android user because iOS has both of these.

>>108812156>Less than 3 million laptops in 21 yearsYeah a real and true success
>>108811259If you think the iPod touch failed, I have literally no idea what to tell you. They were absolutely everywhere. And they kept pace with spec and OS updates as iPhones were released, and parents who didn't want to buy their kid an iPhone absolutely went for that cheaper option.
>>108807542You are now reminded that Microsoft abandoned the Hololens two years ago.
>>108812291Yeah, because theres literally no use case for these things
>>108809557This makes the side of my right thigh hurt.
>>108812339Why?
>>108811259>>108812038>>108812224I was trolling to revive the thread
>>108808451I wanted one of these so bad because it could do texture mapped 3D (this was in 2003, I was only 8 years old and was used to GBA primarily being a 2D console) and had ports of PS1 games but my parents vehemently objected to it because the fucking bastard was like $300 and you were required to sign up for a phone plan to buy it. Little did I know at the time that the DS and PSP would blow it the fuck out in every conceivable way within a year.
>>108808053Those where everywhere back in the day, would not call it a failure.
>>108809766Have 2008 or so Garmin and you can still fill it up with fresh maps, even open street maps.

Headsets won't be totally comfortable in the foressable future. Out and about we don't have that, and we're uncomfortable anyway. And the target group is almost everyone.>Don't get me wrong vision pro is one of the greatest hardware demos of all time I'm just saying it's not something I can recommend to anyoneYeah I wouldn't recommend it to anyone either and it was/is a flop. They really should have made it run every ios app from day one. It needed to be $1000, with a lot of marketing, and then it would still just be the "shitty first apple version" that lacks major things like the first iphone or MBA. But it could have taken off and version 2 or 3 might have been good.
>>108812156There are more North Koreans that have phones than there are of these laptops in existence globally.
>>108807358Just looking at the position of that thing it doesn't seem like it would be nice to scroll on
>>108810717Kickstarter/crowdfunding truly embodies the naive optimism that defined the 2010's.
>>108812580Hard to believe the creators of these "let's cobble together existing tech" projects thought they were a good idea.Thinking about it recently, was it one of the first modern get rich instantly scheme? You could go from nothing to owner of a million dollars.These days as the economy is increasingly shitty and everything is in the boomers favor, crypto, polymarket, vibecode your own SaSS, gamestop stocks, all lotteries where people hope to get instantly rich. Not strange since it's the only way for most people to get out of the ratrace now.
>>108812642Gimmick products can be a good way to make money. It's the execution that causes them to fall flat on their ass. It's always a project by idiots who have no expertise and end up biting off more than they can chew.Though in this case you have to be retarded not to understand why a drink cooler should not be covered in electronics.

>>108812680>Gimmick products can be a good way to make money.They can but the cheaper the better. Gimmick =/= shit cobbled together> It's the execution that causes them to fall flat on their ass.Execution is also exponentially harder the more stuff you cobble together. Making a power bank, blender, cooler and speaker are all hard own their own, but now if there's a problem with one of them, your project is stalled.But when I said a good idea I meant for everyone, customer included, not just to sell. They're a bad products even with okay execution. It's the opposite of modularity, and the default is for products to be interoperable though standards like a usb plug or bluetooth.>It's always a project by idiots who have no expertise and end up biting off more than they can chew.That's true though. Probably because cobbling stuff together is the least creative thing you can do and they just want a paycheck.I went back for some funny nostalgia, will post
>SOAP: Wifi router + android tablet: $260,520Obviously retarded idea as now you have to put your router somewhere easy to use and run cables there. They didn't deliver.>Gokey: power bank + charge cable + BT beeper + usb drive: $1200000Bad idea cause it's a bulky locator (and pre-airtags so pretty useless) but a tiny powerbank of 400mAh. Usb drive completely superfluous. Didn't deliver.>MiKey: Same thing with a bottle opener: $31972This is just from a random day in 2013
Love how the late 90s and 2000s felt more futuristic than whatever the fuck today's meant to be.

>>108813512Which QWERTY slider phones are coming out?
>>108814320I think he probably meant just keyboard phones. He's still wrong. They're not "coming back", but there are a few gimmicky brands which are putting them out.
>>108813512Guessing you meant phones with keyboards but we meant M$ kin and palm pre.But no they aren't coming back either, physical thumb keyboards aren't good and it will always just be a niche.
>>108812203https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/2/24147159/rabbit-r1-review-ai-gadgetTheir sales were made off the back of promises they never delivered on. The device failed because it relied on "AI" and AI is terrible.
>>108808242Price was absolutely the issue.Multiple people in my immediate friend circle told me they wanted one, but it really isn't worth $4000 or whatever they were asking for it. It would sell like hotcakes if if was priced like an iphone.>but nobody needs itCan be said for nearly every apple product but here we are
>>108814551I don't know what relevance this post is supposed to have to my comment.
>>108814607I disagree. People will spend $1,500 on an iPhone because they enjoy the functionality and cohesive ecosystem. There's literally no use case for the Vision Pro. People will spend money even if it's incredibly expensive, if they get usefulness out of it. That's why McDonald's continues to make money hand over foot because people like the taste that they've come to know and the products that McDonald's is known for, even though the price of fast food and McDonald's in particular has escalated dramatically.
>>108814667I was giving your comment credibility while adding more information about the device—should another poster be interested, that is.

>>108808242>>108814607>>108814674Vision pro has a decent usecase and better than other VR headsets, hands-free screen functionality anywhere, i've detailed it in like 4 posts itt that you didnt post any rebuttal to. It is a whole new usecase, like in scifi games.>People will spend $1,500 on an iPhone because they enjoy the functionality and cohesive ecosystem.Yeah, but that's for pro max, they have $800 ish models too. but would they pay a $3500 for base model v1? No.The difference between $1000-ish and $3500 is not just big money wise, it's big mentally. You can find tons of used $1000-msrp apple products, but not $3500 ones.>That's why McDonald's continues to make money hand over foot because people like the taste that they've come to know and the products that McDonald's is known forThat's a much smaller amount that won't affect anyone much. But there is a point, if vision pro was mainstream it could fetch $3500. But mcdonalds didnt start with expensive meals, they started by being bargain bin until everyone knew them. You gave a good example of why vision pro intro price matters a lot.

>>108815856Yeah I would like to use a v3 of it if it was decently priced and there was a case or model to make it look cool like cyberpunk instead of gay. But I'd think twice before doing it here where I live but in another town or while traveling in asia or something, sure. It could be embarrassing. Wouldnt be worried about crime for either though.As for crime you better avoid no-go zones no matter what you do
>>108815814who the fuck said anything about health? Fucking retard.
'member 3D TV? I 'member.
>>108815989The people who put fucking spinach in juices, shakes and smoothies that would be otherwise delicious. Because no other reason do add it. Also people that shill shakes even good ones always talk about health.
>>108816027still have one.Plasma
>>108816048how burnt are your taste buds that you can't taste spinach?
>>108816027Sure do! glad that meme died.Binocular vision depth perception is so useless that people live without it for 30 years before it's found out they lack it. Our brains can estimate distance more than well enough by relative sizes.Likewise for digital capture, binocular cameras were a meme that fucked. The focus can encode enough depth data for most things and lidar ala iphone pro series can be used for actual 3d mapping much better.>>108816148为真么公主? of course I can taste it, but as I said it tastes like shit in sweet smoothies but if good in salty umami foods.
>>108816174ok retard.
>>108808513Should be illegal to sell laptops with 8 GB of RAM
>>108816027I got a Playstation 3D Display recently to try out, play some games and watch some 3D blurays. It's a neat gimmick, makes me curious about the few 3D OLEDs.
>>108814741The thing was an engineers wet dream. Way over engineered for the job, way to locked down to be of use to anyone. AVE tore one apart.
>>108815929I can't move out of the states.
>>108812513>>108813834PALM PRE GODS WWA? I EVEN HAD THE TABLET WHEN HP AFTER HP BOUGHT THEM>t. bought one at launch
>>108808018They had to literally kill gumpey to stop this
>>108808793got my son one of these, he loved it. It had a cool interface and physics games and shit
>>108810527i just spent 15 minutes reading their site and I still dont know what the fuck it does
>>108807358very qute and functional but they didnt sell well, tiny laptop basically with wifi and bluetooth. I used to run a c64 emulator on it in like 2004 (sony clie ux50)
>>108816488the old Canadian sunbed
>>108809766to be honest people would just use the one in their car (if newish) or their phone. However having something that works and at least a backup before resorting to maps is a good bet. I would also argue even if maps are not updated it would get you around all but newer roads and say housing developments.
>ctrl-f "Zune">0 resultstoo bad, too. they were nice.
>>108818944I always thought it'd be kind of cool if PDAs somehow came back. Budget ARM devices that have no cellular functionality.It would literally never happen though... for obvious reasons.
>>108810979This was a success by every metric. In fact the first iPod was genuinely revolutionary. Every other device at the time at some stupid, convoluted, and complex control system like these guys >>108808053 >>108808451 >>108809557 >>108811108 The scroll wheel on its own was genius. Extremely simple controls but still very capable.
>>108818829I raise you
>>108819030I remember at the time they had a feature where you could share songs with people who hadn't purchased the song and they called that feature "squirting".No idea what they were thinking.
>>108819265>stupid, convoluted, and complex control system like these guysNone of them are convoluted and complex other than the nokias which were very experimental form factors. But those are phones, anon. Not mp3 players.Early mp3 players had pretty straight-forward and sensible controls, although the positioning was far from standardized.The ipod messed things up by not having volume buttons or a volume wheel, so you can't just easily and intuitively adjust volume in your pocket. Other manufacturers messed this up much more after.
>>108819500Explain how that's convoluted and complex. Every button is literally labeled clearly and unmistakably
>>108819512I think you meant to reply to >>108819265 . I am saying it was not.
>>108819530Apologies. I misunderstood the post chain.
>>108819554It's all good anon im just happy someone bumped the thread. Have a wonderful night
>>108819578>e-waste stuffed with adware can't outperform a jar with holes in the lidWhat were they thinking?
>>108812187>GlowbarNo way this name is real
itt: anons malding at products they really really wish had failed
>>108819578the lesson here is that "people" who obsess over their sodium intake are soulless skinwalkers
>>108819655You too man. God bless.
>>108808451Reminds me of my old 3300, peak comfyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heola8xwZRQ
>>108808451>>108809557god i miss the phone form factor craziness of that time
>Why don’t you have a EEE PC ?
>>108807600Didn't Oculus just get bought by Facebook and turned into the Quest? But anyway, VR headsets are fine for what they are (gaming peripherals) but got turned into memes by tech industry Jews that thought they could get everyone to strap ads to their faces 24/7
>>108816674I wish useful tools were built half as well as juicero
>>108820994Lol
>>108819755Why are you like this? Sodium intake is the bane of western civilization.
>>108821261found the salty bitch
>>108821261maybe if you exercised a bit more your blood pressure wouldn't be sky high and i wouldn't be here reading about your anti-salt bitching you fat fuck
>>108821310Not an argument. Without gorging on salt, your gains would be even better. Saltkike.
>>108821324you're powerless against my sodium, goy
>>108821324It's crazy how anti-sodium so many people are.A healthy body regulates sodium levels quite well. An excessive consumption of sodium might raise your systolic blood pressure by 1 or 2 points. If that's enough to give you hypertension you obviously have many other factors which are contributing more to your high blood pressure that you should attend to before worrying so but sodium. What's worse is that is a lot more dangerous to have too low sodium levels so people who actually are good at avoiding sodium put their health a risk far more than those that consume salt without a care.
>>108821324>>108821391>saltkike>look up the AHA>current president is a woman and her last name is "rosen"i'll do the exact opposite of what the image says, thank (((you)))
>>108821437>AHAI didn't even notice that, they are absolutely corrupt and every single advice they give is aimed at maximizing the profits of big pharma and doctors.
>>108821324
>>108821483Yeah you should be doing the opposite, to maximize big pharma and doctor profits.
