Mark Zuckerberg announces a new VR headset but nobody cares

The Metaverse is dead. Are Meta’s line of VR headsets dead too? I have the scoop in this 60-second podcast.

That was a bust: Apple is axing its $3,500 AR headset, the Vision Pro. They’ve already cut production in half and the end is near. In a podcast interview, Tim Cook called the headset an “early adopted product.” You know, like early adopters with a ton of money to spend on a device that developers are staying far away from.

Here VR in the ER: VR headsets are sending gamers to the hospital, and 30% of the visits are for broken bones. One 54-year-old tripped and flipped over his ottoman playing a Star Wars VR title. If you have a VR headset, set a safety perimeter.

“Black Mirror”: Apple’s Vision Pro is cool, but some say the headsets can warp our perception and mess with social cues. Yeah, no kidding. Extended wear might distort how we see the world — and it’s not just our eyes.
