Thanks,
@sterlingcrispin
! What a journey from working in my basement in 2005 to solving the impossible at TDG! Can’t wait to pick up mine tomorrow! Couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished: making a dent in the universe!!
Also, shoutout to
@BertrandNepveu
congrats man!!! The vision pro would not be the same without the
@Vrvana
totem. Who knew that a mixed reality, passthrough headset, with a little knob that transitions between VR and AR would be such a hit...

This is why Apple Silicon is paramount! But hey, Zuck said the Quest 3 is better, so it must be true… How about privacy?
Professional benchmarks of the Vision Pro versus other headsets are starting to come out from companies like
@OptoFidelity
Here they show how Apple’s advertised “photon-to-photon” latency isn’t fake. And actually much better than the competition

MY TAKE: The Vision Pro high-fidelity passthrough experience parallels Apple’s introduction of the iPhone’s original retina display, which set a new experience bar and gold standard in mobile display fidelity.
Apple’s VR debut was a huge moment for the consumer tech world.
Having worked in VR for many year, I decided to celebrate this moment by writing down candid thoughts on the Vision Pro + a few ideas for Apple & Oculus/Meta colleagues:

Also true for Montreal, we need ambition, ambition, ambition! Comfort is the enemy of success!
Hot takes on what Toronto needs to be a viable tech ecosystem:
- way more tech events after hours. this is part of what makes sf special. New demos, 535, and Vclub are great starts to recurring events but need more
- startups need to raise more and hire less. Focus on paying

Ce fût tout un honneur de parler geeky avec Stéphan Bureau de mon parcours en XR.
Cette semaine au podcast, on reçoit le jeune technopreneur montréalais Bertrand Nepveu. En 2017, il a vendu à Apple le casque de réalité virtuelle et augmentée qu’il a mis une dizaine d’années à développer.

Nobody can’t compete with Apple Silicon. Meta would need to buy Qualcomm and do it right. Chances are close to none.

Presence is paramount, and you will never be able to create it with see-through AR. Passthrougn will only get better, creates presence, opacity, deep blacks, wider field of view… Like
@PalmerLuckey
said, video passthrougn will be the longtime winner!

So true, we knew the limits of the Totem. We scripted the demos like a magic trick to create mind-blowing experiences, but the friction was everywhere! I miss giving hundreds of demos every months, that was the most gratifying part of my job.

A breakthrough in material optic tech is needed to have a wide-enough FOV to create presence (90*). Battling against real life photons creates ghostly images that break presence. Moreover, if you want a ray-ban form factor, you have a 1w budget to keep the frame cool.

No, because he said there was zero chance it would succeed. Elon needs to go to therapy instead of bragging he never did some. I respect him as an engineer, but he needs to grow up! His ego is bigger than Mars!
