Are you able to have it interact with the environment?
Say you slide it over so it's hovering over the edge of your sofa and then you turn gravity on. It seems like you're just a few steps away from what!

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.
I read the second paragraph as a euphemism for having sex. I was confused because consensual sex is generally considered a healthy activity.

> Spending time horizontal while not asleep is very unhealthy for your heart. 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. edit: "Cardiac atrophy after bed rest and space…
Seems like it should be easy enough to offset with exercise though? Like if you’re doing cardio a few days a week you’re not going to suffer too much by chilling in bed a couple evenings.

Yeah, this seems possible. I was thinking of someone more generally increasing their horizontal time without doing anything to make up for it. This is my own projection, as it is what I have been guilty of doing.

#45Really neat, are you running the cloth simulation on the CPU or GPU? How many elements are in the simulated cloth? Good luck on future AR projects!

#46I’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?
You can use it in the sun as it is using video passthrough not optical AR like the hololens.

#47From the title I thought you made a optical recognition system for sorting out the laundry, finding sock pairs etc. Very cool sim, but kind of disappointed still. Will build this someday.
I half-joked on (then) Twitter about 15 years ago that if someone made AR that would help me sort my clothes by laundry temperature I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
Then a friend told me I could just wash everything in cold water. Crisis averted.

To be clear, it's not that sleeping while horizontal is better than being awake while horizontal. We all need solid sleep, but being horizontal should otherwise be minimized as it is the ultimate sedentary lifestyle.[0] This causes heart atrophy.

I think you’re incorrectly jumping to correlations/causations.
Your references are due to sedentary, not laying down. You can have a sedentary life standing in place most of the day. Likewise, the problem is being sedentary, not what position your sedentary in.

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.
The definitions of these terms are certainly not fixed or universally agreed-upon, but on the spectrum from VR to MR to AR, the Vision Pro is definitely not at the AR end of things, and is very much not the class of device that the term "AR glasses" refers to. The problems that "AR glasses" have with operating outside in full daylight are inherent to a class of devices that does not include the Vision Pro. To the ext…
So to summarize: unlike other AR glasses, it isn't unusable in sunlight, because it uses cameras to provide augmented reality, rather than something else.
Got it.

#50Not to disparage OP or this product - which sure looks cool - but man, the idea of buying a $3500 device to simulate something I can do by opening my wardrobe seems…absurd.
Did you watch the video? I don't think anyone has anti-gravity cloth that lights up on touch in their wardrobe.
