Mark Zuckerberg says the Vision Pro doesn't present 'any breakthroughs'

Apple has upped the ante on the technological side but not really brought anything new. It's just souped up what was already out there, and along with it, the price, and wrapped it up nicely with some extra touches.
That said, the finesse is appreciable and also desirable because it reduces a lot of pain points. There is a lot to like (pricing aside).
I'm not sure why there was so much sofa sitting footage in the keynote and hope that more options are just as possible.
You can't fight off a Sith sitting on your sofa!
What Zuckerberg has to understand is that my wife was happy with her Quest and itching to upgrade. That got knocked on the head as soon as Meta made a Facebook account a requirement. That was when we abandoned our plans to upgrade. If more people feel the same way we do, Meta has a problem.
Meta has an image problem that goes far deeper than image. Apple has a big head start over them when it comes to trust.
LOL, no he hasn't said a single correct thing. If you think Apple hasn't done anything new you badly need to watch the Keynote.
I have seen the entire Vision Pro keynote segment.
Form factor, cameras, Lidar, sensors, gesture and voice control, screens, lenses, materials, specialised chipsets, web and software access...
As a first generation product it soups up all of the above but please don't think that is all 'new'.
Some of it is, for sure, but how much?
I'm not saying Apple hasn't done anything new.
IMO, the real difference is in how it all comes together. Of course at a hefty price but I can understand that. It's pretty compelling all the same.
In fact my favourite feature, which isn't really necessary at all, is the visual representation of the user on the outer screen. A screen showing a representation of the user. It has zero impact on the use of the device but nevertheless serves a purpose for people around the user.
You very much said Apple didn’t do anything new.
