As a datapoint for how I've seen this used in the real world, I've spoken to startups who will defer to Pave regarding how much they'll offer to pay. The startup I spoke to said 'We pay you the 85th percentile for your YOE and role based on Pave data'.
From my time working on data infrastructure at Facebook, deletion policies are respected (permanently delete user data within X days). This was in 2018, though, so things may have changed.
I saw this on Twitter the other day and saw all of the comments were about people use this video to reduce how much people bother them.
The squares in the video reorganize about halfway through, but the overlay self-view video that's been added awkwardly stays the same. Maybe it would make more sense if it was fixed in the bottom right corner like normal Zoom calls?
The real question is: What is happening right now?
The $3500 dollar AVP has just created an entirely new interface for people to interact with computers. There are developers that are working as I type this to get first mover advantage on a new surface that could be as influential as the shift to mobile. Numbers are low now (I read 10,000 subscribers from... the Verge I think?), but that's now, when we're debating the usability of the entire platform.
What is the app that will make you buy Apple Vision Pro 3 in 2 years?
No more LASIK for me. That's why I returned the AVP. What I'm doing is fine now, but the AVP triggered something in my eyes that I don't want to address just yet.
No, my code is shit. And in a product everyone's forgotten.
Apple Vision Pro has better hand tracking and eye tracking IMO. Quest has better shared experiences and experience diversity. SLAM feels the same between Quest 3 and AVP. AVP hardware is better, but not significantly.
Being able to iMessage while watching full screen Netflix on Safari while lying in my bed was a game changer (product side). Who cares about the keyboard (as zuck states in the video)? I can either use the magic keyboard from Apple or just use dictate (another thing Siri does surprisingly better than Meta).
I mentioned that I returned my Apple Vision Pro. I have had LASIK and am very sensitive in my eyes. I probably need another LASIK surgery or go onto glasses again. I did scan through almost every return post I could find on reddit to find similar issues.
The kicker? I didn't stumble upon any related to nausea. Having worked on Quest 2, this was a major concern at the time. I couldn't believe how few posts I saw[0].
I'm very happy to hear that your mom is using it! And without vertigo can be a very big step for these devices.
[0] - I'm sure there are posts. I just didn't see any when I was searching about how to return it.
"Better product" is mostly subjective, to a degree. I think future iterations of the AVP are going to bring more value per dollar to the public than Meta's Quest or Rayban lines.
The hardware, as I see it, is mostly going to be similar between the two companies (except for form factor, where I see Apple absolutely winning). The consumer market (Apple got people wearing this thing on the subway; I have no qualms giving me eye tracking data to Apple, but I do with Meta and have worked on their recommendation algorithms as well) and the software quality/ecosystem is going to be what makes Apple win this. Meta always positions themselves as the Android of the headset market, which I believe they will be.
My point still stands: I love that there's competition here. If I get to see the laptop and phone be 'legacy' devices in my lifetime, I will be happy to have seen such a transition in technology.
I felt I was watching an actual analysis at first. I thought Zuck was going to give Apple credit for some of the amazing work they've done. When he mentioned that "feature X" was better on the Quest that IMO wasn't better in Quest, I realized I was watching a bad marketing video. Admittedly, I couldn't watch the full video. It feels desperate.
I would be surprised if the price dropped. I believe Apple is known for keeping their pricing fairly neutral or increasing it. You could get a Gen 1 second hand, though.
