Episode notes

Apple's announcement of the Vision Pro headset validates the mixed reality category, potentially increasing demand for the overall space. The high price of $3,500 may limit affordability for many consumers, making Quest 3 the primary beneficiary. While Apple focuses on building high-end products, Facebook's Quest devices have a more democratic ethos, being accessible to a wider audience. Both companies have different focuses, with Facebook prioritizing social interaction, communication, fitness, and gaming, while Apple's use cases revolve around sitting, screen viewing, and replacing laptops. Gaming was not emphasized in Apple's presentation, but Zuckerberg notes that controllers offer a more tactile feel and precise motor movement, making them better for gaming. In contrast, Facebook's design trade-offs prioritize social and entertainment experiences. Ultimately, the companies have different design trade-offs in place to cater to their respective use cases and target audiences.
