I think exercise apps might be a prime application for something like this, things like Beat Saber (or even SuperHot VR of all games). As a package designer, I’m kind of salivating at the prospect of being able to use something like this to see things in 3D as I’m working on it (should an app like that even become available), but it would still never completely replace a flat screen for serious work (plus the Apple headset just uses hand gestures for everything).

Otherwise, yeah, I’m not too hopeful about this thing’s prospects, unless developers knock it out of the park with some killer apps for it. $3500 for a 1st-gen, Apple-only headset is just a bit too much for me. I paid ~$1000 for a Valve VR Headset and even that seemed astronomical at the time, but it works with nearly everything else, so it doesn’t even feel like I’m in a walled garden. With this Apple headset, you’re limited to Apple’s store and that’s it, I’m not sure that I would trust trying to jailbreak a $3500 piece of equipment and possibly brick it.
