I am looking forward to the Apple Vision Pro and spatial computing. I'd love to compare the experience Apple is creating against existing AR/VR competitors. I think a lot of people still vastly underestimates the potential here due to the existing underwhelming experiences we've had going into the space.

What use case are you excited about?

[betterprojects]

Primarily computing. Right now that might mean a clunky headset tethered to your Macbook Pro to power the OS in virtual windows but the dream has always been advancing tech to the point where you could wear a pair of glasses and have all the computing power and OS running in the cloud (to remove the need for most of the hardware to be on the device). I'm a big fan of that vision.

We don’t have the tech to fulfill that vision (still research topic) Considering the constraints of Vision Pro: bulk, weight, battery live, resolution… Are you excited about any use case?

[dangus]

I presume the person you’re replying to is figuring that this technology won’t always have the same bulk, weight, resolution, and battery life constraints, and that’s why they’re excited about it.

From the demos shown it doesn’t look badly compromised for being a first generation product.

What demos / use cases showcased are you most excited about?

[dangus]

I’m not $3500 excited but I would buy the product as shown at $1000 or so.

I think it could be a great computer for traveling, especially the idea of being able to have a multiple monitor-like setup on the go without dealing with setting up a bunch of equipment.

Computing on airplanes would be so much better than struggling with a laptop on a tray table, and you could sit back and relax to watch movies rather than being hunched over a phone/tablet/IFE.

The “watching content while doing chores at home” that influencers have been showing off with the Quest 3 seems pretty nice.

I don’t buy into the idea that a device like this will replace smartphones or computers as our primary computing devices even when the technology gets far better, but it definitely has a place.
