Apple: People are getting myopia from their screens being too close to their eyes. Also Apple: We’re strapping two 4K displays to your eyeballs with our new Apple Vision Pro AR headset. In all seriousness, this looks pretty awesome, and certainly paints a positive picture for AR in the future. It's pretty crazy how ahead Apple is to Meta considering Zuck pivoted their entire company around the space a few years ago.…

My hope is that this is a calculated step towards a more integrated form factor that will enrich our sense of connection and engagement with the physical world.
I struggle to understand what some people were expecting. If it’s nothing more than putting screens in 3d space, it’s already worth it for me. I can sit on the couch, type on my MacBook, and look at multiple displays around me using the Vision Pro. As a bonus, I can still see what’s going on around me so nobody can come in and scare the shit out of me. Win win. I’ll take this content viewing device any day over a wei…
This is clearly an early product launch which isn't ready for the mainstream yet. And I'm assuming it's going to be super expensive. But I'm pretty impressed. Unlike pretty much any other VR headset I've seen, I can actually imagine myself using this and deriving value from it.
This is a shift of epic proportions.
It showed someone participating in a group video call. But it only showed what the other people (who were not wearing headsets) look like. What does the Vision Pro user look like? Does it just use animoji or something? EDIT: sounds like they render a realistic animated image of you, if I caught that correctly?
They've got a interior facing camera, they could make you a pair of floating eyeballs! Kidding, but also not, I imagine they make use of that camera for this somehow.
Edit: and yep, your head is modeled and a doppelganger of you will show in calls.

VR apps typically use far focal distance so even though the screens are close to your eyes, your eye muscles/lenses are typically held at far/infinity focal length.
Curious if this will give a viable mobile workstation. If I can get the experience of a 4k ~32 inch monitor while traveling I'd consider buying it just for that. They seem to be promoting that..... getting nervous about price though.
