Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
The hardware is no doubt impressive, as expected, but I just can&#x27;t see myself in any of the situations they keep showing in VR&#x2F;AR demos.<p>Does someone really sit on their couch, put on a massive headset, and scroll through their vacation photos? Does someone watch an entire 2+ hour movie with a sweaty headset strapped to them (and plugged into a socket) instead of on a couch with their family&#x2F;friends? Would I want to be in a group call with generated avatars of people rather than their actual faces? If the kids are having a fun moment would I want to run inside, grab my headset, strap it on and record a video, or just go join them? Would I rather work on this all day instead of a laptop?<p>And the one thing I could maybe see this being useful for – gaming – was barely even mentioned in their keynote.<p>If I&#x27;m dropping $3,500 and cutting myself off from the outside world (and no, that weird eye display thing doesn&#x27;t count), a half-assed substitute for consuming the same content as I would on any other screen isn&#x27;t going to cut it. Show me the actual future, in terms of software&#x2F;content&#x2F;communication&#x2F;immersiveness, <i>then</i> we&#x27;ll talk.
