But it doesn't look like Apple is betting on a Metaverse where you have your little virtual houses and objects, but rather putting monitors right in front of your eyes with an entire ecosystem where work and entertainment is the main focus, with the ability to include communicating with others.

Apple just skipped the 3D world-thing which is what Meta is focusing on and being pathetic at it.

To me this reads as if Mark is scared of what his employees are thinking of him, where what they have been working on is this toy, while Apple now presents a real device with some sensible use cases.

Also Apple's is see-through AR to blocking VR, while Meta's is blocking VR. His statement about the couch doesn't make sense at all.

He seems to be ashamed that they are not the leader in this space by a long shot, since this is what his company is supposed to be about.

The oculus products have the same "AR but it's actually VR" thing going on. It just sucks on the quest 2 and seems half baked on the pro. They claim that a better version of passthrough will be the biggest upgrade on the quest 3, but of course remains to be seen if they can pull it off for $500 a pop.

I see, and it appears that Apple's is also only see-through by overlaying the VR onto a camera stream.

I thought it was like the Hololens, which btw is also in the 3.5k-range.
