Apple Vision Pro and its Implication in Online Gambling

[SFMHodler]

I don't see how it the Vision Pro will have big effects on online gambling, but I'm pretty sure that the adult entertainment industry will come up with some innovative stuff.

[Bananington]

However there are about 80% of gamblers who do not give a damn about this technology as they are happy with how things are now.

It is an Apple tech, and gamblers who make use of android and windows OS have no use for it yet not until the technology is copied and the replicated by other manufacturers to make It available to other people non-apple users. For the online gambling I doubt that many people will be comfortable repeatedly wearing a big eye glass to gamble, some people who gamble online like for it to be private and something they can do without other people's knowledge, the Apple Vision Pro is not for them.

It doesn't have any promising gambling implication, it's a massive disappointment and Apple should realize what they are doing by now. They're a tech company first and a luxury brand second, so they ought to stop releasing trash products like these in the future from now on. Going back to this sorry excuse for a VR headset, first thing's first, it's tacky. The moment you wear that shit around your face you don't look like you're doing work, you'd look like you're watching VR porn through you knockoff google lenses, and besides the fashion part, you're working with an overpriced VR headphone that only gives you 2 hour of playtime. Plus there's not a lot of things you could do on it too, it's mainly usable for work with all these "excel sheets and productivity" mumbo-jumbo they are talking about during its press release.

Apple Vision Pro is a massive disappointment, it's not gonna promise anything besides that dizzying starting price. People are still going to buy it for sure but the stock value of Apple will be the one to decide whether they did something smart or dumb, and upon looking at it, I don't think they revolutionized anything here.

Gambling with this device would make it feel like you are in a casino. I am pretty sure the experience would be out of this world - the visuals, the sounds, the overall feel. On the other hand, it seems that it could be easy for a gambler to lose track of time while using the device because the immersive experience might make it difficult to see or be aware of the time, leading to a potential increase in gambling addiction.

Still depends on the casino who wants to implement on such device. Because implementing this means another source of budget for the graphics that may look a real casino, and buying this one knowing this is a apple product, too expensive, which i don't think casino will consider easily. Well, if they do, that's great, having great experience is better but winning is the best, lossing is worst lol.

It can work as a marketing boost for casinos which decide introducing this feature to their platforms, so they can be noticed as "innovative" by the public, but for real I don't think it's going to be so entertaining like they promise, as the technology hasn't evolved to a decent satisfaction level yet. Gamblers looking for immersive experience still have to go to land based casinos, there isn't any other alternative for now and probably there won't be for the next decade, at least.

Is this better on Oculus VR?

Did you mean better than? I will say so, but also very expensive. Apple Vision Pro cost $3500 which is more than expensive. But it is the best that I have seen. According to the review I have watched before it is eyes sensitive. If you look at apps on the vision pro, the app will detect that as it increases in size, and if you want to click on the app, only what you need to do is to touch your thumb with your fore finger and it will click. Apps and everything is controlled by your eyes and your fingers. It would be of nice experience, but the battery is not strong and it is too expensive. Some VR devices are requires you to connect to a PC or console though, while Oculus VR like Quest or Meta Quest 2 last 2 to 3 hours after fully charged.

This is insane I mean the price, I don't know why some people still go for that over priced products Apple has lost its place in the market and we have better products that can compete with Apple at a cheaper rate and some of them are more durable compared to Apple products that lack battery.

We already have something like this produced by Samsung and can be used on Android phones that meet its standard, unlike this one that is limited to only Apple devices.

I wonder what this means for the gambling industry, the gambling experience, and gambling addiction. I would like us to discuss this topic. Gambling with this device would make it feel like you are in a casino. I am pretty sure the experience would be out of this world - the visuals, the sounds, the overall feel. On the other hand, it seems that it could be easy for a gambler to lose track of time while using the device because the immersive experience might make it difficult to see or be aware of the time, leading to a potential increase in gambling addiction. The odds against the player won't change, only the experience. Please share your thoughts on this matter.

Oh it's the new VR gear, with a seemingly insane price tag afaik AND a battery life that sucks ass. The thing is, there are probably more bad sides to it but just these two are already more of a reason that shows this thing isn't really worth it for what they showcased (which was err, watching movies, live virtual showing/presentation idk what you'd call it really, and other stuff similar to that). A laptop or mobile phone would 100% suffice, and be a lot more comfortable with a LOT lower of price tag. This is just a premium, expensive idk, toy for people who want some luxury in life. Which I kinda get, Apple does have their target audience as those tbf.

But to it gambling, I don't think it matters much. It just enhances the experience if it can do what I'm imagining it can, since it has afaik AR tech as well? Should be a rather immersive experience imo. But to buy it just to gamble? Nah, I'm better off going to a physical casino really.

If we do speak about Apple products then for sure it would really be that in premium price which is something that normal because they do really have that expensive products. Do we really think that people would be buying up this thing to have that other real experience in gambling? I dont think so but rather they would really be just simply be contented with their current experienced on using up their devices. It might be giving off that typical or casual experience but the difference isnt that much and not all would really be that spending up tons on something like this.People or gamblers would rather be using up the funds or money on their gambling spending rather than spending on some eyeglass type or wearable on which it doesnt really give out that much significant experience. Online gambling implication or effect?
I dont see for it to be that big or really just that been ignored most likely.

That's literally the bare minimum of what it should do, and I do think Apple got it right but I just don't see people going out of their way to buy stuff like this (I do know that people will buy this) when a macbook does the same thing for less than the regular price of a Vision Pro, without the sucky battery life, the subpar features and benefits, and the price too. And in my opinion (don't ratify me on this) if you're someone who wants to be even more immersed in your gambling session that you'd rather buy this overpriced hunk of plastic and silicon rather than just literally going to your nearest casino and playing whatever similar game is presented on the gambling site, you have a brain problem and you should get yourself checked because that is not a normal way of thinking.

Aside from the comfort of playing at home and private, I don't see the need to wear this stuff for anything at first it was best for movies and now apple has taken it a little long and far by developing this one for the gamers and I am sure some of them are going to spend some extra cash to acquire this stuff, the only noticeable set back is the battery life, so the enjoy better gaming experience you have to plug a charging cable from your device to the power supply while you use, which may sound a bit uncomfortable to do.

Might be a good innovation but I believed most gamblers aren't interested in that kind of stuff. Why should they need that kind of stuff in the first place? It won't even change the odds of winning as you said. It's like the use of VR technology wherein I can say, doesn't even have any impact on the overall gambling experience.

I'm sure it won't be a game-changer in gambling. Those rich guys might just buy it for recognition or because they are hype.

Gamblers are gamblers and they only care for profits. Maybe for those gamblers who are into physical casinos before, they might want that stuff.

As far as I know Apple Vision Pro is an AR device that will offer virtual experiences to be more real and that will allow users to better interact with their virtual world. Of course, this technology would be very good to be implemented on a gambling platform because it would be able to deliver a better experience to players, especially for those who want to play virtually but want to look real. The minus is that the development of AR requires a lot of resources, and not all gambling platforms are capable of developing this. Moreover, Apple Vision Pro is quite expensive, so not all players can buy this device.

What is going to change is the gamblers' pocket, by having $3,500 less. In my case, I won't try such glasses until competitors bring them out at affordable prices, which could take years. But to pay $3,500 for the 'experience' I'd rather spend it on other experiences, as it gives you enough for a few dinners and going out and even a trip. Apple being a company that is very successful at selling mediocre products at high prices, I will wait for the day when there is a good eyewear product at cheap prices. And the difference in experience as a gambler can wait, I'll keep gambling as before.

I think its pretty viavleu through augmented reality casino applications. I mean "bringing casino to your home" can be real perfect slogan there. Its bit too expensive piece of hardware, yet I can imagine future versions of it getting affordable. I think casinos can put ads through their apps so now, we can have full ad experiences in our homes! hahah. I mean this may sound funny but it would be another beneficial thing for casinos. Showing ad at your own wall or couch. In sports betting, hard to imagine uses. themes? maybe.

It won't impact online gambling at all because it currently has no support for gambling applications and the gambling Casinos have to create separate applications that support the functionalities of the device. In order to create those applications they might have to spend millions of dollars for the purpose and still most of the gamblers won't buy the device because it offers 2 hours of battery backup and has a cost of 3500$ or even more if you add taxes and delivery charges. It won't be able to compete against the other devices when it comes to eyes safely because this thing can damage your eyes if someone uses it for long term and the user can't even wear blue-light blocking glasses during its use.

[Plaguedeath]

It's pretty much similar like VR, if there's a casino you can play with VR, you don't have to use Apple Vision Pro to get an experience.

If you have gamble on both offline and online casino, you will not enjoy to use VR because you can just visit an offline casino in your country. But if someone only have an experience gamble on online casino and there's no offline casino in their country, this will make you have an interesting experience.

The barrier to entry for mass adoption of this new technology are the price. The average gambler does not have $3,499 for a headset and the developers are not going to develop games that can only be played by a few people that have the money to pay for those over priced  headsets.

I think some highrollers might buy this and the developers will develop games for the lower priced headsets...and you might find that it is compatible to the higher end headsets with better quality displays. (People will be able to access the same software with the Apple Vision Pro, but they will have much higher quality graphics and a more fluent gaming experience)

On June 5th, Apple released Apple Vision Pro, calling it their first spatial computer. It is an amazing piece of technology and innovation. They continuously push the boundaries of what is possible. I watched the introduction on YouTube, and it was terrific.

Same shit different day... VR/AR is vaporware. It will never take off. They should come up with better ideas instead of this outdated tech. They already tried the VR thing and people didn't like it back then, what makes them think people will like it now? It is a good tech if you want to fry your brain faster but other than this, it has no use. Just like metaverse, they are burning the investors' cash on nothingburger. I am disappointed to see that a trillion dollar worth company is not capable of bringing any new and exciting tech anymore.

[piebeyb]

As a small gambler, just see how it works Apple Vision Pro to play gambling, obviously it will be easier and more fun, but if asked whether I will use it, I prefer to use the mobile browser only because Apple Vision Pro is too expensive for me, a small gambler and maybe only people who claim to be rich gamblers will use this later.

But as far as I can see from their promotional YouTube videos, everything looks alive because we can play like being in a real casino can add a new experience in gambling, but I'm just a connoisseur and won't buy it just to find pleasure in gambling, if asked that can make people become addicts, I think YES for the rich and unemployed people may become addicts, workers like me will not have much time to gamble except weekends.

Apple Vision pro gonna make 1% impact on online gambling. Meaning it will have almost no effect, but still more than zero. People would try to access casinos and try gambling in those glasses just for fun, just for test. Not more. Apple Vision pro - what this really is? A VR glasses? Another VR. Current VR did not change gambling industry radically, so why then Apple VR would. In fact, that will be more an expensive accessory to stand out, to show that you are cool and rich, than people would really use it and choose over other VR glasses.
