-
- In a weird
position here because usually doing someone else's
video podcast means "Hey! Free Journey video I don't
have to edit..." I just download their video or
link to it - and I move on. The one today however is a
VR180 podcast that's also shot with a Canon R5C in
8k60 and I also recorded myself so I could go back and
forth between us. Cool, right?
-
- ...except I now
have to wait until THEY edit their portion and, well,
no one edits like me so it'll easily be a week until
they're done - then the processing of what will be a
50-60 gig file... then downloading it... then
re-editing. I'll say this: I have no idea when this
will be done, but I can't just delay The Journey and
post this at that time. I'm returning the Apple Vision
Pro tomorrow and thanks to a great meeting yesterday I
have an in-person meeting with Ballys next week... so
this will be a placeholder and then the video will be
connected a couple weeks from now. Let's just assume
that has already happened and you can watch it
here...
-
-
- So the biggest
reason I am posting this now as opposed to when it's
done is because it's ipso-facto my final word on Apple
Vision Pro. I really wanted to document my
feelings on everything as I'm reboxing it tomorrow and
truly - that fact is heartbreaking for me. I cannot
believe it. I mentioned it on Mo's show but after
that I really did try and give it a chance.
I said "OK, it won't be for work - I have it...
let's just have FUN with it." And there's just so
little that it can do that the Quest 3 can't do... and
in so many respects can do it better. That Zuckerberg
review (while cringey as fuck) is dead-on. I hate
that it's dead-on. I am still in a bit of shock that
something I waited for for so long, was so excited
about is now just a
MASSIVE disappointment.
-
- WELCOME TO 2024,
RIGHT?!?!?!?!
-
- But getting a
little more video of me using it seems appropriate to
document for later... I just - am so done with it. I'm
so annoyed with the issues. Fall 2025. That's when
I'll most likely jump back into this world with
Apple... but I gotta say? Quest 4 or Quest Pro 2
is gonna probably be incredible. Excited about
whatever they release this year too (Quest lite?).
Still bullish on VR180, just gonna take some time
until it's mainstream. Apple Vision Pro may have
actually delayed that believe it or not.
-
- Then again, when
I made "Living in 2033" a year ago... it's fine
that it didn't happen a year later. I still believe
we'll be a year or two into the 30s before this really
becomes common.
-
- Alright... let's
get this damn return over with. What a crazy-ass
disappointing start to 2024. Unreal.
