The problem is it's not a horseless carriage. For real gaming I go back to couch gaming with the Xbox or PS5, and for computer things I use computers.įunny thing is, I keep meaning to do more with the PSVR 2 but now it's actually so dusty that it puts me off, it needs a full cleaning at this stage :). I haven't used my Quest 2 since early 2023 (I think) and the PSVR 2's last use was for a game called Pavlov, which is simply mind-blowing, despite which, I think the hassle of headsets is problematic. Such has been my experience with the two headsets I own - the Meta Quest 2, which I think is really great and serves many purposes, and the PSVR 2 headset, which is phenomenal for gaming, but pretty much useless for anything else.īoth headsets have had a short-lived "wow" factor to them, without a doubt, but sadly, the novelty tends to wear off within weeks. I can't speak for the Apple Vision Pro, I'd love to try one, to be honest. > More often than not, it's collecting dust on the shelf within a few months. Letting them use metal without as much of a weight penalty. Perhaps the development they’re doing with titanium on iPhone is also a step in that direction. So maybe that’s the path they’re looking towards? They might eventually be able to get rid of the fan with better chip technology, without compromising on compute, but then they need some metal to shed the heat from. How would you even do that in plastic? You’d definitely want to transport the heat out to the perimeter or front, and plastic would just not be the most suitable for that. Imagine if you wanted to make a powerful headset without a fan. The external battery pack (which is a 3 cell 13V pack btw) is definitely a consequence of that, they supposedly have some of the power electronics in there which helps move a bit of the heat generating stuff away from the face. Quietly doing its job excellently.Īluminium is a better thermal conductor than plastic? Might help move some of the heat away from the face and take some of the thermal load off the fans?Ī lot of Apples decision seems to make more sense when considering how incredibly powerful (and thus hot) it is. It's weird that I'm waxing poetic like this about such a boring device, but that's kinda my point, your comment made me reflect about all the little tech around me that I use every day that just sort of shifted into the background. Yet, it just subtlely benefits my life because the speakers are excellent, the webcam is servicable (the novelty of the fact it tracks you never truly wears off) and the size/pixel density is great. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not only that it was maligned by the tech media upon release. However, it's completely unsexy and has (at least on paper) extremely stiff competition. When it comes to Apple products in particular I use an Apple Studio display at home, I use it for 10hours per day, every day, and honestly I have no complaints, it's probably one of the best bits of technology I use daily. What I love most about this comment is how it caused me to reflect on what I use daily and get some amount of joy from. I love this comment, I think you're completely right.
