How Late is Apple to the Smart Glasses Party?
Просмотров 182Месяц назад
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says that Apple is holding focus groups about what people want from smart glasses like the Meta Ray-Bans. Myke and Jason raise the questions: Is Apple further along than we think? Or has Apple been caught flat-footed-and is their current organizational culture the reason?

    I think the deciding factor for whether or not to announce something with the iPhone is whether or not its something someone would realistically buy while going to pick up the new phone. "oh, I'm getting the new iPhone, maybe I'll get the... while I'm at it" That's plausible for a watch or airpods, not a whole computer

    Hey guys, love the podcast! Glad to see the Vision Pro getting some love! To Jason’s point made at 12:45 there actually is a way so that keyboard occlusion while using Mac virtual display is persistent and not just when you have your hands near the keyboard. If you go into settings and then awareness and safety, there’s an option to turn off bring hands near to reveal. If you turn that off, the keyboard should always remain occluded when using environments. Hope this helps!

    • @jsnell
      @jsnell Месяц назад

      I think you've misunderstood me. If I am not looking at the keyboard when I turn the environment on, the keyboard never appears, under any circumstance. Hand placement has nothing to do with it. If I am looking at the keyboard when I turn on the environment, then it is "recognized" and will appear based on that setting.

    I love my M1 MacBook Air, but I can’t find a way to fully shut it off. Open the lid, it’ll boot up. Press on the haptic trackpad when it’s “off” will turn it on and it’ll give a haptic. I don’t know if there’s a setting I missed, but I don’t think I can disable that. It’s always sipping power sadly. I can’t necessarily power down my MacBook and walk away from it for 6 weeks (estimate) and have it still work. Which is weird

    • @eltamarindo
      @eltamarindo Месяц назад

      If you don't want the MacBook to turn on when the lid is opened, turn off AutoBoot. sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00 Not using your MacBook for 6 weeks or more is an edge case. I would suggest making sure that Optimized Battery Charging is on and leave the MacBook plugged in. The MacBook will learn that is being left on the charger and will eventually learn not to charge to 100%. There is also third part software, AlDente, but the default Apple software should learn to protect your battery.

    There are NO compelling games for VP. Why does Apple hate gaming so much? Where is my racing simulator? Where is my tower defense game? Not everyone likes Synth Riders style games. Where is my Space Pirate Trainer style game? Personally, I thought Kittypocolypse was like digital crack for the Vive Pro. I'd take a game like that right now just to keep my busy. Why can't I sit courtside at an NBA game right NOW?

    44:10 - Apple released this for two reasons: Tim Cook needed to have sort of new product released under him to point to shareholders that they are still innovating and are a 'growth' company. The Apple Car failure brought too much negative attention to the company; AVP was a way to provide some cover/noise and again show that Apple is alive and innovating. If the Car was not canceled, you can bet the AVP would have been held in development longer or canceled. The perception of Apple being behind in AI is further pushing them to progress in the world of MR/AVP.
