I literally haven’t thought about the Vision Pro even a single time in months. Wild for such a hyped-up technology product. It just shipped and vanished.
Or if you live outside the US, just vanished, since it has never shipped.

#22I’ve been trying to figure out if Vision Pro suffers the same fate as other AR glasses that it can’t be used in the sun, Anyone knows?
It's not AR glasses. It's VR with lots of cameras.

#23This is really cool! I save AVP for work but have been eager to find new meditation interfaces because it feels like AR has so much potential for this. Will try it out!

I use mine almost every day, it's awesome for traveling. It might be the best "watching videos in bed" device ever made.
This frightens me. I have been working at reducing my time of watching videos in bed, and all I have to tempt me is a phone and a laptop. It's such an easy trap to fall into.
Spending time horizontal while not asleep is very unhealthy for your heart, and many other systems in your body.

Why is this?

Never heard of this before, any references?

I will try to find some references, but the basic concept is that your heart will atrophy when it doesn't have to work against gravity, as in pumping blood from foot to head, while vertical.
This is why standing desks are a thing, why an astronaut will lose 30% of his heart-mass after one year on the ISS, and why patients after a long coma have a hard time doing cardio.

You're describing an approach to implementing AR.
Simple test: can you get a drink out of the fridge while wearing the headset?
If the answer is yes, it's AR.

Their stance on developer access made it DOA on day 1. All apps are flying blind when you're multitasking: apps can't even use iOS style marker tracking unless you run them in "immersive mode", which makes them the only app running. That combined with no camera access at all, extremely laggy hand tracking, and an inability to do room scale without a constant passthrough make it somehow less capable than a Quest 3. I…
On the other hand, the weakness of the onboard compute significantly restricts the Quests’ potential, as does their inability to take a DisplayPort input from a PC (the tether can only serve crappy compressed video). I own a Quest 2 and AVP and while the Quest is alright for what it does and regularly gets used (for PC-tethered Beat Saber mainly), I’m on the lookout for a quality dedicated PCVR-oriented replacement t…
Uncompressed 4k@90 isn't exactly trivial. I think you'd need TB3 or USB4 for the bandwidth alone and Qualcomm doesn't provide that on the chipset. The device itself can decompress 8K video if it's stored in disk.
I'm fairly certain it's not Meta standing in the way here. My bet is Quest 4 will be able to achieve this but we'll see.
