I far prefer my Viture XR glasses to the vision pro. Pretty sure this was also the case in 2024 :)

So this is something I've been wondering. How much does the extra ~$3k of functionality on the Vision Pro contribute to pure coding workflows, versus one of the many sub-$1k "virtual TV in a pair of glasses" products?
I like having control over font hinting and aliasing and stuff, so I really prefer the latter.

I found the AVP fun at first, but then after a few days it started to get more and more annoying- whereas the Vitures were a bit annoying at first, but then just became amazing after my eyes/brain got used to them. Almost overnight.

Niri makes a huge difference. As does something like this https://github.com/boomskats/woahland
