How did it compare to the Varjo XR-3?

Unfortunately I haven't tried that one! $6,500 is a bit out of my personal price range haha and I didn't get a chance to try all the competitors while I was at Apple.

So, 6500 is outrageously expensive but 3500 is alright?

I'm not saying 3500 is "alright", it's definitely still expensive!

I would say 6500 is too much for a better version of something I already have that doesn't really enable any additional usecases. The Vision Pro would be used pretty differently than my Vive (which is just the occasional gaming session right now). I'd think of it as more competing with iPads, external monitors, and laptops than a Varjo right now.

Both are expensive, but afaik that 6,500 only gets you a headset, you still need a computer to power it.

They were given and working on Vision Pro for work. So it’s free vs $6500.

Supposedly same/better passthrough, which is great for a headset at nearly half the price. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:/...
