JoyReign and JDun From Horizon Worlds To Apple Vision Pro

JoyReign and JDun, aka Shika Duncan and Jeremy Duncan, each wore an Apple Vision Pro to record an episode of the Good VR podcast from their home in Louisiana.

Across an hour-long conversation, the VR evangelists talked about how they met, their discovery of Horizon Worlds, their regular co-watching of movies in headsets and their belief that Apple is building to a more affordable product than the $3,500 Vision Pro.

“We think within a year or two we’re going to see a Vision product for around $2,000,” JDun said.

A good chunk of the conversation covers their experience across the full evolution of Horizon Worlds from building with primitive shapes in Quest 2 to finding community and the eventual invasion of children, and finally to the recent announcement of closure to VR. Through it all, their excitement for sharing great VR experiences with others continues.

“If you have a bad experience, you will never want to put it on again,” JoyReign said. “It’s like, okay, I’ve been there, done that. I don’t have to do it again, I’ve gotten motion sick or whatever, no interest. But if you have someone that really takes their time, walk you through it, hold your hand and also know your interests as well, it’s like perfection.”
