Someone wore an Apple VR headset on the New York subway and got virtually murdered by words

Like any public transport sytem in a big city, we’re sure New York‘s subway has seen at least its fair share of ‘interesting’ sights, but this one stood out for many reasons.

Is it really safe to blinker yourself in a place known for muggings?

Is it anti-social to make yourself unaware of your fellow passengers’ needs?

Is this guy really working or just showing off because he can afford an Apple Vision Pro?

So many questions.

I’m absolutely fascinated by the other passengers’ non-reactions to this. in Glasgow during a subcrawl these would have been taken off his head in seconds and passed around for the craic https://t.co/cRABBhDzXm

Marques Brownlee had a theory.

The keyboard only supports pointer finger input. He's trolling y'all

— Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) February 4, 2024

By the power of the internet, the man in the headset turned up in the comments.

Oh lol. That’s me.

And he had a clarification.

I was actually not trolling y'all. pic.twitter.com/8fqmMmzn9O
