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.

Look at the logic in my comment link, does this not make sense? This seems like basic physics and cardio to me. The less time that your heart has to fight against pressure/gravity, the weaker that muscle will become. This is pure causation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40549893

It’s a reasonable hypothesis, but you’d need to experiment to validate it. It’s easy to imagine how prolonged exposure to bed rest or microgravity may trigger heart muscle remodelling in a way that intermittent bouts of lying down would not.

Is the choppy movement of the cloth because of the limitations of the device or something else? Can’t believe this is what $4-5K piece of tech looks like. Wild.

It's because of the simultaneous recording / screen capture - it's smoother on device with less lag.

Is the video captured using the dev kit?

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.

I use mine almost every day, it's awesome for traveling. It might be the best "watching videos in bed" device ever made.

The thing is, the Quest 2/3 is nearly as good for watching videos in bed.

There's no need to pay the extra $3,000 or whatever it is.

I'm very curious to see if more people adopt the AVP for productivity while traveling though. That's what the Quest seems pretty useless for still.

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.

Why "other" AR glasses?

AVP is not glasses. It's a headset.

Headsets and glasses are two entirely different product categories.

I have both Quest 3 and AVP, and they are not even close for “watching videos in bed”. Partly just pure video and audio quality, where the AVP is a generation ahead, at least.

But also for less than singleminded video watching: if you get a text, the notification appears. If you are watching a long-running deployment, you can have a terminal window off to the side to glance at periodically.

And if you want a drink of water or even to get take the glass to the kitchen for a refill, you don’t take the headset off. The passthrough is that good on AVP, where Q3 is sort of functional but very acid trippy with bending geometry when you look around.

Is AVP “worth” 5x as much? IDK. Depends on your income and priorities. But it is certainly a dramatically different experience.

(Q3 is still hands down better for games, BTW)

Apple consistently has the advantage of good UX: tight integration with their ecosystem, including message notifications and calls. Costing around $3,000, the product must feel solid with top quality components. I'm wondering about the external battery and how it affects mobility. I imagine there might be downsides to having to carry it around, but maybe it's not as bad?

I had a pair that I ended up returning [1]. I think about them often, multiple times a week when I’m using my laptop or tablet. I felt incredibly productive with the AVP when writing code away from my main computer. And they were just really cool/fun to use. I hope to get the second iteration if Apple continues to make them [2]. [1] I bought them because I had several app ideas for AVP that I wanted to explore, but r…

Ever recorded any metrics? I wonder how much of your "feeling" productive is real.

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!

A few really big steps.

haha, yes - it’s definitely possible, just may be bit tricky.

You can get detect planes and the mesh geo of the room.
