The AVP has greatly enhanced my productivity through access to a large virtual mac window inside a variety of environments, facilitating deep focus while reclining, sitting outdoors, or traveling. And the 3D image conversion of treasured photos is remarkable. On the whole, I've used it near daily for over a year and a half, and marvel at how many naysayers there are.

My use is more episodic than daily. But I love mine for many of the same reasons others have cited.

On a plane this is so useful. Flights go by much faster.

When traveling it’s so much less of a productivity drag to be able to pop this on and work with more real estate and focus.

The spatial videos and photos, whether taken with a real spatial device or upgraded later, are… so immersive. Seeing very old memories in 3d is emotional.

But I would pay so much to have a great gaming experience. Like a racing sim or something else realistic. The hardware is so impressive.

Frankly, I think this shines most as a consumption device for 3d content. There’s just not nearly enough yet.

Can you elaborate on how you use it with your Mac for productivity ? What’s the experience like vs using a large 5k monitor etc? What about for long hours?
Now there is a comment I'm interested in here - because all the whining and yet actual users are far and few between.

I would ask for more observations.
