And Jesus wept for there were no more worlds to conquer

Isn’t this just AR? We’ve had that for years. Or is it somehow different from existing AR?

Ah, you seem to have made a rookie mistake, poor people are using AR, apple users are using spatial computing

It is ~slightly~ different, but in a way that’s worse.
AR uses a transparent overlay over reality perceived through a translucent surface, or at most a small subset of your vision is replaced. Think sunglasses with a screen you can see through, or a small corner of your vision is blocked by a tiny screen.
In Apple’s “special computing” cameras recreate and alter reality, nothing you see is with your own eyes because no part of the display is transparent.

Oh shit I don’t want to be a poor people I need to get something with spatial computing!

Be real, it is spatial pornography.

AR just means augmented reality, it says nothing of how it should be implemented

It’s pretty good AR from what I hear but still AR.

pretty good VR - all of the user’s field of vision is digitally (re-)created.

I watched some reviews about it. Yes, it’s basically like having an iPad screen taped to your eyes.

AR of that visual quality has required the user to be stationary and tied to a large computer.
