As somebody who never bought into the VR hype, I’m actually pretty excited about apple vision. The portable aspect and the other qol features make me want to buy one. I feel like after a very long time Apple has entered the game late but made the game exponentially better. Let’s see how this pans out.
I’m in a similar boat. I tired some VR demos at the Microsoft store and it was meh… how am I really going to use this? Apple has always done a good job of presenting a new category of product in a way where you can see how it might fit into your life. They present the solutions instead of the technology. 1,000 songs in your pocket. A widescreen iPod, a iPhone, a breakthrough internet communes device.
With Vision Pro it was like, ok, I can do my normal stuff, but maybe do them without losing touch with the world around me. And if I want to shut out the world for an amazing cinema experience I can. Is they worth the asking price… I don’t know. But I tried Google Glass back in the day and it was so disappointing. Vision Pro seems like it will have that wow factor, from everything I’ve seen/heard so far. The big question will be if it has the content to make it compelling. I follow a bunch of 3rd party dev for Apple stuff and they all seem to be playing with it. So that’s good. I do want to see the unique immersive 3D experiences, not just big flat virtual screens placed around the room, which is a lot of what they showed.
I mean to don’t really need your word processor to be a “3D experience”. I think a big part of Vision Pro is bringing your work environment with you. Like, you know where everything is, how to find it, etc.
When you need to “step into your office to draw that up” you can just pull your headset down for a minute.
