Comment on Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not
tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The review was great and that Apple went it’s way to try and do something to be seen as an innovator is awesome, for one reason only: they failed horribly.
Granted, this is the best VR handset that could be done with today’s tech, and even then it’s bad. There’s no use outside niche applications, and too much constraints and trade offs for it to be reliable. We need a huge advance in tech for AR be feasible, even socially acceptable.

It’s not even that it’s not feasible. The entire idea is stupid. VR makes a lot of sense in entertainment and AR will one day be really great for small things like showing map directions and notifications but the concept of a virtual computer controlled by virtual waving your hands around is just silly. It will never make sense.

The main use case I think right now, really is the expanded monitors view. For people that travel a lot it might be a real use case

To carry the whole VisionPro bag, keyboard and mouse instead of simply taking your laptop? The review makes it clear it’s not usable without peripherals, you will still need some desk. It’s solving a problem that doesn’t exist.

I work on 3 monitors during the day, with multiple virtual desktops. It solves for that, and that alone. That being said, I wouldn’t pay $3500 for the privilege, especially when it ONLY operates in the Apple ecosystem, which I don’t care for. Other VR desktops exist, but they’re all kinda “meh”. I’ll invest when a device can be used neutrally as just a VR monitor tool.

Oh no, I meant Vision Pro and laptop to get an extra large screen

What kind of people that travel a lot you think may benefit? Genuinely curious. All the guys who do travel can mostly do everything with their phone because they have other guys working for them in the office doing the actual multiple screens stuff. Or maybe these are the only ones I saw in my life on the road )

Software engineers that work remotely? My uncle has to spend at least 8 hours travelling a month often by plane to attend meetings he still has to do despite being most of the time at home
