Why are devices like this called "Pro"? Are there people making their living as goggle-laden douche nozzles?

[-] JustMy2c@lemm.ee 27 points 10 months ago

Pro is now a marketing term that has nothing to do anymore with its original 'professional'.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 10 months ago

Well what about these apps then, surely they will change your mind!

[-] JustMy2c@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

No, I wouldn't know any of those, it's not my profession... :D

'Pro' just means you can charge more.

It stands for 'Profits'

There is regular and then this is Pro model. Obviously a cheaper VisionPro is coming in the future.

Because this thing has best on the market resolution, passthrough quality, and passthrough latency. And probably raw power for a standalone headset by a pretty good margin.

Is it made to be used as part of the work done in a profession? For example, a "professional video camera" may have lots of extra features needed by people whose professions are video-related.

Is this headset designed specially for professional use? If so, what profession? If not, then the term seems to be disingenuous marketing crap that devalues any other claims made by them.

Pro has never meant that on products. It has always exclusively mean where it fits in their product stack.

This is their high end product at a high end price point, and legitimately takes a shit on everything else you can buy at any price. They don't have the non-pro yet because it can't be done to an acceptable level without being just VR, and that's not the point of what the Apple Vision is.

I would definetly agree, compared to the base apple vision (not pro version) this thing is very literally.... infinitely better.
