Why do you think the headset doesn’t work as described or advertised?
Its price is the main complaint I’ve seen.
If you haven't read or looked into this, it feels almost wrong to just boil it down for you.
Watch one of their stupid commercials about it, then see if it works at all the way they delict it working. It does not. All it is now is a wearable monitor for desktop viewing. Things it does not do while clearly depicted as such:
Anyway, you get the idea. There's more, but why bother.
I like shitting on Apple as much as the next guy but the Vision Pro is an impressive piece of gear from an engineering perspective. Unfortunately, much like pretty much all VR headsets before it, it is suffering from a lack of an ecosystem.
All Apple changed is to pivot away from a focus on bleeding edge high end hardware in this new segment and instead grow a userbase by means of a cheaper base product (likely missing one or two bells and whistles). Developers don't like to produce apps for platforms nobody will use, even if they get thrown some money to do so, because it is a poor long term investment. So Apple's best shot at this is to get Vision devices onto as many heads as possible.
You can play steam games on the Vision Pro via a PC.
