I’m really wondering how the prescription lens part will work. At WWDC, they custom made lenses based on your glasses prescription, but the cost of them doing that for anyone who makes an appointment seems excessive.
I mean; users pay for prescription lenses, and there already exists a logistical structure for creating prescription lenses for individuals; they just had to adapt it for the VR lenses (so the overall process is probably 90% the same)
Right, but when you try on glasses you don’t need lenses pre-made, you can get away with just blanks.
For the Vision Pro, the lenses are required to even try the headset, so there’s a chicken and egg problem: people aren’t going to want to pay for lenses just for a try-on.
