Most articles I've seen have echoed this sentiment, often conflating VR and AR as they go off about Meta and such. I guess with regards to the average consumer they are right about it being overpriced for what it does, but that feels shortsighted.

My view is that this Vision Pro is aimed at exactly that - pros who are going to find and develop creative uses for it. Those people will spend the money just to experience next-gen technology. I know I will. If that produces a big ecosystem of new apps and products then Apple can continue developing the cheaper Vision Air or whatever and sell that to consumers.

It seems to me Apple has made a nice step forwards in making this technology something I'd want to use. That might put me in the minority, but I don't think a lot of people got the Mac right away either.
