The Verge reported that Mark Zuckerberg in a meeting with Meta employees said that Apple’s device didn’t present any breakthroughs in technology.
CEO Tim Cook described it as the first Apple product that users look through rather than at. However, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, expressed his dissatisfaction with Apple Vision Pro during a companywide meeting with Meta employees.
In his letter, he explained that as per his initial impressions, there were no groundbreaking solutions that Apple had achieved in terms of the laws of physics, which Meta’s teams had already explored and considered.
The elaborated letter was reported by TOI Zuckerberg said, “I haven’t seen it yet, so I’ll learn more as we get to play with it and see what happens and how people use it.”
“From what I’ve seen initially, I’d say the good news is that there’s no kind of magical solutions that they have to any of
the constraints on laws of physics that our teams haven’t already explored and thought of”, Mark Zuckerberg.
“They went with a higher resolution display, and between that and all the technology they put in there to power it, it costs seven times more and now requires so much energy that now you need a battery and a wire attached to it to use it. They made that design trade-off and it might make sense for the cases that they’re going for”, he added.
“More importantly, our vision for the metaverse and presence is fundamentally social. It’s about people interacting in new ways and feeling closer in new ways. Our device is also about being active and doing things. By contrast, every demo that they showed was a person sitting on a couch by themself. I mean, that could be the vision of the future of computing, but like, it’s not the one that I want. There’s a real philosophical difference in terms of how we’re approaching this”, he added.
