Comment on Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not

• Dmian@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m not claiming that this is the end of western civilization or anything like that. What I mean is: the ads sell it like “you will be able to interact with those around you without problems”, and I think that’s not entirely true.

  I’m not judging people wanting to isolate themselves, but in my opinion taking this thing off or putting it on is not as easy as putting your smartphone aside, or a newspaper aside.

  My thinking is that this will be way more an individual experience than Apple sells. So people should take that into consideration.

  Other people can see what you’re doing, and you can see them just by turning your head.

  If newspapers glued themselves to your face you might have a point.

    And you can take off a visor.

      Which is a lot more complicated than turning your head. And it covers your entire field of vision. And people still can’t see what you’re doing.

        More complicated please, it's a lifting motion, hardly anything special and no different to removing headphones from ones ears.

        And why do people need to see what I'm doing? If I'm on my phone, do they need to be able to read my screen as well?
