lmao fr. When i saw the title I was dumbfounded.
What Ben just described as "Version 10" is quite literally what we see in Season 1 of Black Mirror, Episode 3 titled "The Entire History of You." They even use the same hand gestures for this piece of tech. Maybe, just maybe, this is how it works in 50 years.
Ready Player One
Great episode
This just strengthens my wish to move to country side and fully immerse into natural living.
I was just thinking that. I want to get far away from a society that is like this
@@GhostMonkey772 good riddance, we'll be playing in the future. Have fun baking pies.
@@AnonN-sr6uu You say that as if you can't get burnt out of anything.
With you here. A community of real people, living a real life, with all the clunky aspects of reality - but I'd still rather have that.
You say that but even the Amish have some modern technology
"The biggest barrier to entry is the unwieldiness of the thing."
Pretty sure the biggest barrier to entry is the $3500 price tag.
Big screen tvs started at more than that.... pre bidenflation.
in the 1990s a good home computer cost something like $5000 adjusted. The first cell phones were literal cinder blocks. Don't discount a technology because it's expensive or unwieldy today. Once they get the size and cost down, this is likely the future of mobile computing
@@moonashayeah, but until it gets light and comfortable enough to use it for long perios that wilk not happen
That is just the first model. 15 years ago, the price of a 50 inch flat screen tv was $5K now you can buy them for $500. If this follows a similar path then price will be almost no barrier at all within about a decade.
@@spindoctor6385 First model? VR headsets have been a thing for over a decade at this point. Wireless, self-contained units have been around for 5 years.
Give me a Time Machine, I’m going back to 1980 to live.
Keep it all.
Me too!!!
me too
Yes, the 80s were, for me, the very best decade.
Drop me in 94.
I just came from Ben’s most recent podcast and he just said that nobody would want to go back to 1980 (financially)
VR is probably the one technology where I was genuinely shocked when I experienced it for the first time. And this was 5 or 6 years ago, so I can't imagine how advanced it is today. It really does feel like you are in a different world. it is so crazy! How far we have come lol. I'm only 35 and I remember reading the back of shampoo bottles for entertainment while on the toilet, and now we have virtual worlds. Time flies! Now it will be like you're in the movie and not just watching it. Imagine seeing like an apocalyptic movie with a massive asteroid hit, and being able to actually see it like you are there. It will be pretty amazing.
I did the demo at an Apple store...it was pretty shocking if Im honest. This tech feels two generations past anything we've seen so far..its quite a feat by Apple
There was a movie with Bruce Willis called Surrogates back in 2009 that illustrates what could happen with this tech. It is scary to think of a world where everything could be fake and no one is motivated to live in the real world.

I bought a Bible for 15€ two months ago. Never felt more fullfilled reading it. God bless.
ye its way more emissive😂
Immersive?
@@dogman15 well books are probably the most immersive type of entertainment known to man (and i am saying that even though i do play video games and watch anime and i still think books are more immersive than animes or games i also did try a little bit of vr once or twice but i have to admit i didn't try out the meta quest 3 or the psvr2 to so maybe they more immersive then books but i doubt it i think the only thing more is real life and probably full dive vr if they ever invent something like that)
No, no, you don't get it. You said "emissive". I was questioning either your word choice or your incorrect spelling.
sorry it's the auto spell correct i didn't realize it messed up my spelling(now i am not great at spelling but i do know the difference between immersive emissive)
people are going to get robbed on the streets
first thought 😂
I doubt they'll be able to not laugh in the face of whoever walks with it in public while trying to rob them
My first thought too 😅
Oh for SURE
expensive... almost worth a car but the meta quest isn't so much of a difference and it is $2.5k dollars less
So having a computer in your house wasn’t occupying enough of your attention, so they made the iPhone for you to carry everywhere. But that wasn’t enough so they put it on your wrist with the Apple Watch. And now that’s not enough so they’re putting it directly in front of your eyes. No thanks.
Yeah, let’s just go back 200 years ago, these damn computers are ruining our lives
I quit tv years ago. Only use a computer occasionally at work.
I feel like dropping out of all of it, really.
@@yuriy5376 Ong brother! Let's go back 200 years to where everyone was stupider than we were now, where people would be in pain and suffering whenever they had something medically wrong with them, hell yeh brother!
@@ben10-inches43 my comment was ironic in case you didn't get it 🤣
@@yuriy5376 Thought so before I posted it but decided to anyway
Using this technology for self improvement: good.
Using this technology for incentivizing the masses: bad.
I like being on my phone, however, I enjoy swimming, going to the beach, watching the sunset/sunrise, walking, talking to friends and family, going to church, reading my Bible, walking my dog. I hate that this world is going so virtual that it’s going to miss life’s most beautiful things that happen in reality rather then in AR
Yep, just had some bonehead argue that VR travel will be better because there won't be drunks or rowdy crowds....aa though that's the only other option?? I said she doesn't need a headset, she needs a decent travel agent, lol. I've traveled all my life, never dealt with drunks or horrible crowds. I swear to God, a lot of young people just gave up and will 100% prefer a fake life on a headset.
Just curious as a thought experiment...
Let's say VR gets to the point where there is some link to your brain/nervous system that would provide sensations that are indistinguishable to actually being there to the point where outside of knowing beforehand you'd never be able to know you weren't actually there, would you still feel this way?
@@eddiec5036 yes, ffs, you're describing being in those grotesque pods in The Matrix. What is wrong with you people!?! Why do you not just accept but actually want this? LIVE! Walk outside and fucking live for real. Holy crap, never realized there were so much people wanting to just be meat suits plugged into a simulation.
You can talk to your friends through the phone and the VR headset, you know that right? You can read bible on your phone, as well.
What do you exactly do at the beach? Laying on a bench? Chilling on the sand? You'd get much healthier playing a VR boxing at home.
@@alfanscholz8663 at the beach you get sunshine, fresh air, you walk in sand and water, and enjoy yourself. If you prefer a fake ijmagw or a real beach, you're nuts. Literally.
So machines are becoming human, while we become less human. We need to keep our feet firmly planted in reality. Real food, real friends, real nature, real relationship with God, real reality
Amen!
Cant afford
Did anybody say 'Jesus'?
Stay grounded but have fun! Think critically and be kind to others. This too shall pass.
@@captainalpaka1551is this a trick question?
I have them and like them. I just connect to my macbook and project a virtual screen (sometimes several, but often just one). It's just like having a very wide and large screen at my desk. It's a simple use case, but very effective. I also prefer to turn off the immersive environment so I can see what's around me. The integration to existing tech is amazing - spatial audio with airpods for example as well as the seamless integration to the macbook. It's worth buying if you (1) already are on the apple ecosystem and (2) travel with your macbook but prefer more screen real estate.
That Black Mirror episode where the soldiers thought they were fighting sub human mutant things only to find out it was all in the implants.........
Coming soon!
My generation was the literal last one in America to grow up without gadgets. I played outside until I was around 12, when I got my first computer. That was the end of going outside. But I am eternally grateful for those 6 or so years I got to spend in the woods adventuring. When I grew up, all you heard was the shouts and laughter of kids playing outside. Today it is silent.
completely agree, I remember playing in the neighborhood all day everyday. When I go back there to visit my parents, its empty. There are plenty of kids because they are at the bus stop every day, but I have never seen a more useless "Slow, Children at Play" sign
I got a computer and I still went outside. Just be better and teach your kids to be better.
Go to the call of duty lobby you would hear a lot of kids 😂
I don't understand why older ppl always insist on telling us all this stuff. What is so special about kids being outside together? I played outside sometimes and sometimes I played inside or played videogames or watched TV or read books (sometimes a lot). There are also board games. What is the point?
Come by my house. My kids play outside all the time.
Arguable the worst part of all this is the level of porn addiction, that and the transhumanism…
Its banned on this item they disclosed that before and Jeremy @ Quartering has a video on it.
But thats just this device, im sure duplicates will come out without restrictions.
@@ASoberBearHe has a point, he's not stating that this tech will have that but the potential threat this type of technology can pose. I remember those scenes in cyberpunk edge runners were they'd put that vr device on their face and have what u call virtual s*x. His comment just referenced that and it's pretty scary how close we are to that future.
@@ASoberBear There's already a way to access it on Instagram, RUclips, x and many other ways to access those explicit content. You can't just go on websites but there's still access to clips.
Can't wait to smoke weed, take a gas station rhino pill, and go on a 3-day porn binge!
@@ASoberBear those apps are banned on the iPhone/iPad too - no real effect people still watch plenty of it on these devices. Also, Apple enables sideloading so then they can be as prudish as they'd like - these experiences are coming for the vision pro. The competitors will definitely be more open, but VR smut will be mainstream.
I absolutely enjoyed watching this review, Ben! The style and editing is fantastic. Please, film more videos like this one!
About the headset itself, yes, I agree. It will mess up with our brain even more than the iPhone currently does.
I remember hearing and seeing about how the growth of technology wasn't really gradually, it was more similar to exponential or compounding growth. Meaning technology is becoming faster, more efficient, more cost effective, thus allowing for there to be huge leaps and bounds between product creation. I mean it has barely been 5 years since VR hit mainstrem and this is what we have now? Crazy to think about.
My grandfather was born in 1908. In his life time we went from cloth covered planes to the space shuttle. Where this is going can be both amazing and terrifying.
Most of that was sub 80s. We have kinda slowed down since the 90s-2000s. At least there hasn’t been as many huge advancements in technology. Just mainly what apple has done with the iPod-iphone-and more recently there in-house cpus and now the Vision Pro that’s super impressive spec wise but just doesn’t seem to have enough to really make it worth it yet.
The technology advancement curve is also exponentially increasing over time. What the hell will 2075 look like? (my probable death date based on averages)
@@tombart4985Kind of. The biggest leap was 1880 to 1920. Before that, no flight, electricity or wireless communication. By 1920, all of those were things.
Straight into the matrix...
Space travel was achieved in the 60s. That was 60 years ago.
Ben Shapiro reviewing tech products is not what I expected to see while opening youtube but I love it
His movie reviews are great.
Never thought I'd be THIS happy and relieved to be old!
whatever lets you sleep at night
Why so?
The fact that your first instincts were to swat the butterfly and smack the dinosaur says a lot lol
Mental health will go to zero with the lack of connection this could bring.
No doubt the perpetual immersion will strive to counteract your woes. It's pretty much, cliché as it is, a Brave New World. A society of individuals permanently absorbed within simulated environments, offering incessant distraction, distortion, gratification, and 'safety'. The perfect, warm, blissful, idiot-bubble. Meanwhile, the real real-world, you know, the one out there .. is crumbling to shit and is bleaker than ever. Even more encouragement to keep inside your idiot-bubble. Scary unsafe world out there. Better to stay in here.
Almost like that is by design.
depends. You can help people who can’t do something in physical form and connect with others with this
Ben slap the dinosaur with facts and logic 😂
Commercial break at 3:46, regular programming resumes at 4:54
There’s just something so…so depressing about this.
Imagine Biden trying to use this
He already acts like he wears one. Never knows where he is
It would be just as stiff as Shapiro using it. This is technology from the left. I say don’t let conservatives use it and stick to truth social 😊
ROFL @@Vickiecole420
Is VR sex with another person really cheating??
Biden is living like he uses an invisible vision pro.
In short it will make people Stupid.
How?
You mean MORE stupid.
Let's not blame the tool for people's actions. 😁
It'll make the innate obvious.
Wrong. People are stupid already and ALWAYS have been idiots. Thats normal.
"Biggest obstacle to entry" for me is the price. Always the price with Apple.
.....when people start having psychosis and heart attacks.
They've been creating movies about this for decades like "Brainstorm". It starred Christopher Walken and was Natalie Wood's last movie.
My autistic nephew made it very clear when he 1st time he took off an oculus vr headset. "Woah, I'm back in this world again."
Who would've thought that someone with a mental disability would think that.
These vr devices are great for artistic individuals
Ben reminds me of how I felt when I got my first set of 3D glasses one side was red and one side was Blue the good old days
😂 Remember when "Gorilla at Large," came out?! That's the night of the world premiere of Michael Jackson's Thriller video was released! That was so much fun although the glasses didn't actually work. Jaws 3D at the theater on the otherhand was awesome 😂
@@GingerNinja1I was going to mention “Gorilla at Large,” but you beat me to it. What a steaming, non-3D turd of a movie that was.
Hearing bed say this is extremely similar to recodings of people predicting what phones and the internet would be like back in the 70’s. I’m a teeanger now and I often come across older generations who have a disfavorable view of tech today, but I can totally see myself having a similarly disfavorable view of my future kids adopting tech as desceibed above. Hearing this puts a whole new perspective on old people saying phones are bad etc.
Nice subtle use at the very end there of the image of Foundation's Demerzel, the AI robot nanny to the "Cleon" emperors! A very fit analogy to the message of this video.
Nah, eff this. This is the point where tech needs to stop
Agreed.
lol That is what people said thousands of years ago and were killed for discovering new things
@@Stayler17 not the same at all. We are creating technology now that could be used to create a perfect surveillance state, spread unimaginable amounts of disinformation and could be abused by autocrats and elitists to create an insurmountable power disparity that could render the majority of humanity into permanent servitude. That is to say nothing of the fact that we are creating a technology (AI) that will inevitably lead to out own obsolescence as a species. The idea that technological advancement has always benefited humanity has been repeatedly proven false, yet people like you continue to belittle those who actually think critically about the profound implications of certain "innovations".
You can stop when you want, just...don't tell others when they should stop.
@@Stayler17 Tell me how it would benefit society. Go on.
Ben, what you are explaining is that humans will in time become nothing more than an empty vessel, a conduit for other than human thoughts. The end of humanity. No soul.
When VR does not require that goggle helmet, I will try it.
lol nice use of "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai. Dude was sounding the alarm way back in the 90s
It reminds me of Juassic Park when Ian Malcolm says that the scientists were so focused on if they could do it that they didn't stop to think about whether or not they should do it.
This has the potential to help and harm people to greatest extent of both capacities. I think that if this tech is developed further the purpose of it needs to be carefully considered. I also think they need to stop and consider the ethical arguments as well.
The parallels are very weak, Ian Malcolm was talking about creating REAL DINOSAURS in said film. The dinosaurs here are not, they are merely images. This is just an expensive toy at the cutting edge.
@@TheT0nedudeThey are not very weak. Look what the iPhone did to an entire generation. From one “expensive toy at the cutting edge” came all the issues we know of today regarding iPad kids, social media, attention/learning issues, mental health crisis, massively increased loneliness etc.
@@hellotherekenobi2156 You’re right, this will change society forever, just like social media and smart phones did.
Yes, that quote was exactly what popped into my mind also, as soon as I had watched a few minutes into this video. I scrolled down the comment section to see if someone mentioned it, being pretty certain I would find it. And sure enough, there it was 🙂
@@TheT0nedude I don't think the comment you answered to had much, if anything at all, to do with the fake dinosaurs in this video.
I'm a tradesman and I usually tell they crews ai can't replace us, but the atrophy for skillset I hadn't considered. I mean, if the sensors are good enough, measuring becomes a thing of the past. The measurement overlay will simply appear on my material and it'll shows me where to mark 16 on center and accommodate for the first stud, where to cut the bottom and top track for drywall sheets to fit, the screw layout to perfectly match the spec-book, etc. Since we're moving to modular attachments for hardhats now like the Milwaukee Bolt system, there could be a replacement visor module that they call the "smart visor" that displays all this for us.
Here's where Ben and I differ on intellectual atrophy: once we learn something, we don't NEED to resort to the ai prompts. It's more about access to information and knowledge bases than needing to cite the knowledge bases repeatedly. After one or two times citing it, we've learned it and don't need the citation. So I'm jot too worried about base knowledge atrophy, but SKILLSET atrophy could be real. Again, I think this isn't as big a hurdle as we may be envisioning, but it's something warranting considering down to their further reaching extremes on the timeline.
Here's the true existential terror: pervasive actors intruding on your neural interface. For any number of examples, just watch any of the Ghost in the Shell franchise. Even the Rise movies had at least one amazing scene where an entire fight didn't really happen, the Major had simply hacked her opponents eyes before it even began and played out the scenario as she walked around to get a weapon before ending the charade and he snaps to seeing the unaltered reality. Or in (uhg) the Netflix version where you see a woman with am unsecured cyber brain that's full of pop-up ads and viruses. The neural implants are where things get very very dicey. Great for replacing broken neural connection like paralysis, epilepsy, schizophrenia and blindness, but those are all relatively closed systems. Once you add wi-fi or Bluetooth or anything else, perception becomes relative to who has access and knowledge to adjust those perceptions. And that's scary.
We'll possibly be able to map the entire blueprint on to the construction site itself.
Need open source blockchain security controlling access to neural interfaces
Bros a trademen writing a novel about an AR headset 😂 stick to making houses
Ready Player One
First the goggles, next the gloves and body suit.
All of this is designed to draw investment from people who do not look into the tech. The tech is actually quite limited and it will never allow for the kind of things that Ben is describing. Not to mention, the more we have fake tech, the more people yearn for real interactions. The smartphone works, because it does not force people into it. It is just a companion that people can have while they live in the real world doing real things. A VR headset is never going to be like that (at least not in the reasonably foreseeable future).
As if society wasn’t messed up enough
On a plus note, you'll be able to walk through Democrat run cities and not see the crime, homelessness and poop.
@@grantleyhughes, while you are walking, you will step in it. Your virtual reality will be enhanced with the smell of poop - one sense will still be real...
@@VirtualAs I'm not advocating actually going to a Democrat run city. Just load it up digitally. It would only be minutes before the headset was stolen and all your stuff taken if you physically visited a war zone.
I did a demo on these things and it’s legit terrifying. It feels very much like the first step into a fully simulated future. It’s much more intense and realistic than I anticipated. I feel the same way I did when my professor first showed me the “internet”, which at that time was mostly just between universities. It’s a whole new world. The things that are going to come from this are hard to fathom. You’ll walk up Everest, travel through fully immersive imaginary worlds, visit any tourist site, go to concerts and sports games, etc. Taylor Swift will have 20 million people at one concert. It’s going to be insane.
Very true. The value and awe of many things, like travel, will become depleted. Already when I watch a RUclips video of someone visiting a place I'm going, the feeling once I get to said place is cheapened somehow. It'll be nice that those unable to truly visit another place will be able to gain similar experiences without spending the $$$...but how long before we're charged for that VR experience too?
Last time I was at the Colosseum, I was thinking in a few years, you'll be able to stand here, put on some AR goggles and instantly be transported back to Ancient Rome, with the whole crowd and gladiators duking it out. Now, we're pretty much there.
The lack of tourism will demolish some economies. Ben even said you could live in a cube and just have a stove, toilet, bath, bed and sofa. Japanese housing - here we come. This makes a lot of stuff in the Bible, about end times, much more understandable.
Can you explain how this is so different from the VR in the arcades that have been around for years?
@@nancypelosi2627 idk about arcade VR but I’ve done the VR shows like you see in malls and the difference is quality of the image. You’re getting 4K per eye so the realism is high and they’ve also worked out the math for distortion better than what I’ve experienced with mall VR. There are times when I could not tell I was looking at an image - it feels so much like you’re right there that you get physiological sensations.
That was the BEST review of the Vision Pro I have seen! Concepts and ramifications that I never got close to considering. Wow, Ben Shapiro! I think you are right on. Nobody will ever see it coming.
Contacts in version 10? Ben is optimistic. And then he went real dystopian real quick.
Yeah, I agree 🎯
Mentioning a free headset for ads in your home is very reminiscent of the Black Mirror episode 'Fifteen Million Merits'
That episode makes zero sense because no company wants to be associated with being forced to watch them. It literally wasn't a choice.
Not sure I 100% agree with this. Many companies would jump at the chance to give you a free product if they can generate forced ad revenue from it. Your smartphone or pc already do this to some degree, it just isn't as in your face as a VR headset would be.@@akivaweil5066
Living in the real world is better.
Yes but let the Apple cult dolts select themselves out, lol.
For some
@@icon9427 you can control that.
@@Kinesiology411 really? A quadriplegic can just hop on up and explore the world?
@@icon9427 anyone alive can enjoy the gift of being here, now. Anyone.
Love that Ben said that prompting is the future... I've been telling kids this for about 1-2 years now, that the most important future skill is prompt engineering.
That was the best analysis of the Apple vision pro so far
Lmaooo Ben has been dabbling in gen Z a lot more recently 😂
This isn’t a gen z product. It’s way too expensive for us
Yeah this isn't gen z. Its rich millennials and boomers
Yeah this tech is not for gen z
Daily Wire has always been involved in the culture. Ppl just incorrectly assume that they only cover politics.
This sounds way dirtier than intended! 😂🤣
Yuck !! The thought of humanity atrophied in the brain worse than now , is absolutely scary.
We living in cyberpunk.
blah blah, the world shifted on a dime when we split the atom. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. If you went back to any other time and asked anyone if they'd like to live now what do you think they would say?
@Brianhartmanmusic they never split the "atom" 😂
i think ben might be good at predicting the close future but when tries to predict a bit to far into the future he tends to use his dystopian imagination a bit to much except if he is taking about something like maybe the twentieth generation of that thing maybe but i think humanity would reject this kind of thing before it goes to far
360 degree video on this is actually really immersive. they release a demo a while back but no one has ever made a full movies with it. it was kind of scary when i test the demo of a scary movies. i actually got spooked. something you cant just move your head away since yours directly in your eyes
I didn't think I needed another Apple vision pro review after MKBHD's one. Good Job!
*I can’t afford a $150 physical desk, but thankfully I bought the Apple Vision Pro for just $3500…*
I don't like the price, but the way they are looking at it is that the machine will replace all of your monitors, your laptops, your TV's (as you can literally sit in a VR movie theater to watch whatever you want. You can even see bands play from the point of view of someone standing on stage. That's where they are thinking their price makes sense. I don't like it because you can get VR cheaper that does almost everything that thing does and a few things better (gaming).
This is actually more accurate than you think… I deal in finical services and people have messed up priorities.
There's way better things to spend $3500+ on that will last longer.
Just not spending $3500 alone is enough of a better experience to me. 😂
My friends Ruger, Heckler and Khoch, and Smith and Wesson can get my money more effectively!
You could literally say that about anything
Yes. 350 $10 blowup dolls last a lot longer.
Just buy a quest, more functionality than the apple gizmo
I’m glad Ben seems to also be doing unboxing or reviews of tech. 😃💯🖖
Great how you are switching it up with your content. Always reinventing yourself Ben. Great job dude. Refreshing change and a very successful move.
There's plenty of positive and negative possibilities from this tech, but just imagine engineers being able to construct their designs with such immersion, or surgeons being able to perform practice trial surgeries on digital bodies which guides and immerses them in the process to improve accuracy etc.
Every single thing is a trade of. The better technology gets the worse people tend to become. The best of times and worst of times exist simultaneously.
Just imagine the death of the human race.
VR isn't new. The things you're talking about are already being explored for years
But it won’t get used like that.
The HTC Vive was released 8 years ago.
That's it. I'm joining a monastery.
Ben, thank you for raising the most important point about this new technology no one seems to be mentioning
It was a paid promotion for him to do it. This kind of technology have no positive effects on society and continues to get all our money and get us more addicted. Things like this prove the point that Ben and DW are part of the establishment they claim to be fighting against. They are no different
*We can’t rewind we’ve gone too far*
I used to work in IT and loved tech. I loved every cool new gadget. I'm talking about the days of the USB pen drives, mp3 players and such. When smart phones came out, something felt uneasy to me and my brain was starting to look ahead 30 years like Ben and seeing all the pitfalls. Since then I've had little interest. Had the same phone for 5 years, my screen time on it is like 10mins a day at most. I still work in front of a computer, but it's work. As soon as I'm done then I'm off doing normal things in the real world. I won't be buying any of this stuff. In the end, real humans with real skills will win out over the people living in AI land. I'm sure of it.
You used your 10 mins a day to watch this video?
@@shotee11 caught him 😂
A 16 minute video at that
@@shotee11I don't youtube on my phone. I'm not a teenager.
@@scottymackay1801you sound like 90 year old lmao
This got dystopian real fast. But I agree, this has a lot of unintended consequences. I'm just reminded how much I miss the perfect decade of the 90s, when we had just enough technology, but no social media or smart phones.
Definitely the perfect balance back then. Phones that served a basic but very useful purpose. Even watching a movie at home meant venturing out to a store to interact with other people to rent one. Like you said the amount of technology felt just right and all of it was specific to what it was made for and nothing beyond.
Just don't hang around people that are super addicted to their phones. What are you, like 19 years old? 😅
You people are such hypocrites. Seeking attention in youtube comments while complaining about new tech. Social media is the only problem with tech and people like you love it. You lap it up and seek that validation from strangers. A video game is too much for you. Watching a concert from home is too much. Stupid people hate change but love complaining.
I babysit a little girl (for the last three years)and her brother is eight years old. His parents get him the newest tech. He has a ipad, laptop, a personal alexa in his room, and the newest vr headset. He spends all his time in his room in the dark. Doesnt want to play hide and seek or tag anymore. His older sister is 10 and doesn't want to play anymore either and has a iphone and alexa. Her mom gets her Sephora makeup and she listens to adult music😔 it's just sad they are too young to leave childhood behind!
Contacts lenses: "TIred of wearing spectacles on your head? Why not try putting the glass in your eye. Contacts!"
Vision Pro: "Tired of carrying your phone in your hand all day? Why not try strapping it to your face. Vision Pro!"

@@tonyburzio4107 sounds like my first fiance after bangin one too many strangers.
Not if you'd like to use it in public.
When I was a kid I always though we'd have stuff like this in the future. I mean like decades in the future. But here we are. How'd we go from flip phones to this in less than 2 decades
It makes me really sad to be honest
Moore's Law . Technology doubles every X years.
I remember Nintendo VR in the 90s, it was just red and black and would give you a headache within minutes, but the potential was clear even then, just needed better screens.
Imagine all the ads Ben could squeeze into a VR run episode... probably one or two more than we currently get.
The best VR experience I’ve had was at a place called The Void, it had a Star Wars themed game, it was awesome
Black Mirror was a documentary.
Of course it was.
It's strange how Meta Quest 3 didn't go viral, it wasn't news, no one cared except VR enthusiasts and it does pretty much the same things as Apple Vision, hand tracking, movies, workstations, video games, browser, video calls, meditation, workout, etc. etc
We both are on the same page
Right!? And it's no where as glitchy as the Quest 2 was with tracking
Meta as a company might be big and has multiple platforms etc, etc. But when it comes to brand, they have no competition with Apple! They won't even survive without brands such as Apple! So it only makes sense that VP made bigger headlines than MQ3.
I think it is the severe lack of good triple A gaming on VR systems. There is Half Life Alex, which needs a more expensive PC VR to run, so the meta market missed out. everything else is very short, nausea inducing or just sucks. There just isn't much incentive for the average punter to invest further in VR
Two things: People are mostly interested in status and scared more than anything of being weird. This solved both of these things - is a status signal and not weird.
First number 1 rapper, now Shapiro tech tips?? This man is unstoppable! 🎤💻
Now I want to see how you feel it compares to older tech like a HTC Vive or the HoloLens in the same use case. Is the hardware noticeably better or if its the same stuff in a case with a little more style or a couple of slick demo apps like watching Planet Earth in your full FoV?
Also the Chat GPT talking and dating there was a South Park episode where that was brought up and your reaction to that would be interesting.
Imagine this as the first cellphone in the 80s. Ten years from now (if we are still here) this will be absolutely insane.
Well by your comparison, maybe more like 20-30 years. Cell phones didn’t evolve much beyond just being a phone until around 2010.
This is some dystopian shit
You have an unhealthy relationship with technology and it shows. If you aren’t responsible enough to deal with technology without becoming addicted than you are a failure and your parents did not raise you well.
I don't want to live in a world where everyone is constantly wearing one of these
@@yaboiavery5986 bro, your delusional. Do you know how expensive these things are? Are you dumb? You’re acting like people will forget how to take them off, bro it’s just another piece of technology. Your being afraid of it means that you’re a sad and pathetic individual. Grow up buddy, you’re making us conservatives look bad.
It’s just another tool, same thing with guns. If you are too incompetent to have a responsible relationship with a tool then you are the one at fault not the technology. Guns don’t kill people, people do. Technology doesn’t ruin people, people do. It is your choice how to use a tool, choosing to avoid its benefits all together because you are afraid of its potential negatives makes you a sad and naive person. Don’t be the kind of person who would burn people at the stake in Salem, it’s not witchcraft. This technology is not even very good. Yall don’t understand how buggy these things are until you use one. It is literally physically impossible for this to be “dystopian sh*t”
@@yaboiavery5986 Mind your own damn business, it not your responsibility to tell people what to do in their free time either. If they want to play VR than that’s their business. Butt out and if that’s too much for your snowflake heart then end it all like your comment suggests. Since apparently that makes you want to die. Such a weak mind.
I think the craziest thing to think about is actually the effects much more short term with tech like this on communication. Imagining the evolution of communication while apart, we started at letters, then we went to the telegraph where we could almost instantly send "letters". Then we went to the telephone where we could send our voice almost instantly. Then we had video where we could send a video but not really converse. Now we have FaceTime where we can see and hear each other from anywhere in the world. It's incredible, but we still feel disconnected from those people. Imagine using tech like the Apple Vision Pro to have a real-life representation of your friend appear at your house. Imagine if your house was pre-mapped to the experience so your friends also see the inside of your house. You could be on opposite sides of the globe but it would look like your friends are sitting on the couch in your living room. Almost Avengers hologram style. Or imagine you're walking downtown in the street and you get a call. You answer and your friend kind of appears and floats next to you, able to see everything you can see as you walk together. That would be the clear next evolution of human interaction at a distance. The next step to help us feel together when we are apart.
Much later in the future sure we get weird stuff from an Orwell novel, but I see that as a much more distant future.
Yes, it is putting layers between one and surroundings. You need to make the surroundings better instead. Better as in consecuration.
This reminds me of the book Fahrenheit 451
Exactly!
That plus the Wall-e humans😂
Can you imagine when we all become reliant on this Tech, and then we get an EMP or similar? You will see a lot of headless chickens. But, the Matrix is REAL!
Conseifering how the iPhone was 15 years ago to how it is now, this technology after another 15 years seems scary to think about. These companies can get sight and sound down, but once they could get us immersed somehow in smell, touch, and taste, then how more immersed can we actually get? My theory is that they’ll make chips able to read our past memories and experiences and trigger those memories at will to immerse ourselves for the rest of those 3 senses. They could even push it further and install those memories in said chips and then into our brains. We’ll have memories triggered that weren’t even ours to begin with and that’ll probably be peak immersion in our lifetimes assuming they haven’t cured aging
I'm so grateful to have been born before this.Tower of Babel 2.0.
7:15 is just insanely impressive in a weird way!
As with many techs, this one has the capacity for both brilliance and horror, we'll see.
At this point our children will never experience the world as it’s actually created, by going outside and exploring it. Sad.
The Simpsons predicted this, and many other things. They had "yard work stimulator"
I think you're over exaggerating
That's the POINT.
@@Yesica1993 I think the point is to have fun. Watch a movie or show in a different way, experience gaming in a completely unique way, that's the whole point of VR, it's different and interesting.
@@ch4z_bucksthat would be good but people never stop at that , you know history right?
"Your at burning man?"... Ben - "should we try way of the water" LOL
If I had one of these, I would just look at beautiful naturescapes and play the sound of birds and stuff like that. Maybe the sound of rain.
I do that already, but with a monitor and headphones. It helps with stress, but I imagine with an Apple Vision Pro (or with an Oculus, or PSVR), it would be better.
I have a Quest 2 headset. Of course the screen isn't as good as this or the Quest 3 however it's the immersion that hits you & the VR 3d immersions. Google Earth VR isn't perfect however it is surreal that you see house, cities any environment on earth that look like you are in a model, the way it is made with not the total realism (due to Google having to build 3d models from data maps) but it is still surreal & that is Google Earth VR & not a good example of what VR can do. With AR you get the mixed reality with VR but in your own environment. After all the eyes, the nose & touch are simply sending signals to the brain & the brain interprets them, an implant gat replicate & change those signals. Blind people will be able to see & ppl without limbs will be able to walk via exoskeleton that responds to their own thoughts just as a person with limbs would be able to. Good & bad will always occur with all tech advances.
1:00 I love his monotone voice when exclaiming things and speaking in lower case.
I would love to see Ben playing VR horror games.
Imagine this tech advancing alongside nano tech and 3D printing etc. You'll be able to design something in virtual space and then see it come to life in reality almost instantly. The concerns over tech becoming a crutch is very real, we've been worried about this stuff all the way back to when books came onto the scene and people thought we'd not be able to keep any knowledge in our own heads since we could write them down. Feels like a repeating theme.
The way Ben moved backwards when he heard the T-Rex is proof how immersive it is.
Just went onto Apple. First image: Black woman wearing Apple Vision Pro.
Below that, video of black man using Vision Pro.
Kept scrolling.
Then latin woman.
Latin woman again.
Black woman.
Black man at office desk.
Black woman.
White man watching family movie of his two black kids.
Asian and black women having facetime.
Two images of black woman wearing vision pro.
Another image of black woman wearing vision pro.
Then a bunch of tech images.
Where are the people who invented the Vision Pro? You know, the white and asian men?
We as humans are made for reality. We should never even be offered such a powerful alternative to life. We can’t handle it. The love of money is the root of all evil
I hate that quote it implies there would be no suffering without money
I don’t think you’re understanding that verse correctly. Money is not evil of itself. The love of money is the evil. If we can view and use money correctly it isn’t evil.
@@troutslayer19 The quote said money is the root of ALL evil. You understand there was a time before currency right? People do evil things with or without money
@@naughtywizard yes people can be evil with or without money. The Bible tells us all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
This quote is actually a Bible verse found in 1 Timothy 6:10. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”
We can see by reading the full verse that it’s actually greed that is evil, not money itself. Money is simply a physical construct, it has no ability to be evil. The evil is in the motivations of the one who pursues and possesses it in a greedy way.
I hope this was helpful.
@@troutslayer19 Yes the full quote is a great truth
I prefer to be outdoors with no tech on my face.
Part 1 of the video: Tech review
Part 2 of the video: Ben being George Orwell for 10 minutes.
And he isn’t wrong
At approx 11:00 mins into the video, I was imagining a couple of movies, by your comments, and they were "Ready Player One", and "Surrogates". Both were decent movies along the lines of where your comments were heading.
We are innovating ourselves out of existence.
Some of us have been talking about the unintended consequences of these technologies for years. Not just all of the sudden, now that they are popular to talk about.
Instead of using a dinosaur to demonstrate the technology, they should've used the queen xenomorph from "Aliens" (1986).
