I know people here don’t love it, but I’m hoping this product is successful. Imagine what would happen if Google Glass got more widespread adoption and resources? We might have had AR glasses that look almost like regular glasses by now. The VR/AR space is still in it’s infancy, and it’s hard to impress on people how cool this technology is until they’ve actually tried in on.
It’s Apple, which is a dealbreaker for me. Everything Apple is proprietary. All the OS, all the apps, everything is locked down. Last I used it, you can’t even compile your own software for Apple platforms without paying a massive fee.
I will wait to buy the open source AR goggles, even if it makes me 10 years late to the bandwagon.
Developers need to get comparatively exensive apple machines to develop software for apple’s operating systems. That’s what I meant. In many cases you need to pay premium for ports to iOS or Mac because of that.

And lots of stuff is more expensive due to the higher development costs.
FTFY
