Meta Orion AR Glasses: Apple Media Coverage Ruins Everything…

Meta Orion AR Glasses! They’re not real! YOU can’t buy them!

HOW will Apple react???

Over a decade of Apple Glasses hype, and we’re still pretending that AR glasses are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! These aren’t real products yet, and we’re missing incredible opportunities to make more accessible products for consumers.

#SGGQA 320: Apple, Tech Journalism, and a Decade of Out of Control Hype…

HAPPY MONDAY!

I’m wrapping up some travel, and unfortunately can’t livestream today. I DID finish this video essay though, and it seemed a fitting addition to the topics we cover on this weekly show.

Tech journalists have been promising an Apple AR revolution for over a decade now, but very little commentary has come from Apple directly. This has had an enormous chilling effect on AR and VR markets.

Rumors. Leaks. FUD.

After a decade of reporting on a future mythical “Apple Glasses” product, what do we actually have?

Let’s get our tech week started right!

Mailbag: Are “AR” Glasses a Sham?

Got a comment from DZ

I’m kinda disgusted by the hucksters pushing these as “AR Glasses”.

Hey DZ,

It’s dicey right?

Dear Google and Samsung: Copying Apple Vision Pro is a DUMB Move…

Dear Samsung and Google,

This is a bad idea.

Trying to make a copycat Mixed Reality headset to compete against the Vision Pro is a bad idea.

Augmented reality could be so much more, but we need to cover the basics first.

Be the Anti-Apple.

Love,
Juan

XReal Beam: AR for ALL of us!

Apple Vision Pro: Years of Hype for an Expensive Dev Kit…

Apple Vision Pro reaction.

I’m disappointed. There are FEW products which have been hyped as hard (for as long) as Apple’s VR/AR headset. What Apple revealed at WWDC was underwhelming…
