For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone). Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. Th…

Both my iPad Pro and my Vision Pro have a keyboard and trackpad: - The iPad Pro of course uses the excellent Magic Keyboard. - The Vision Pro uses an Apple keyboard w/o numpad side by side with the Magic Trackpad, in a custom tray to hold both.

Can you elaborate on the working part? I tested the device in an Apple Store and was blown away by the experience. Such an amazing tool to explore, enjoy and relax. The work part though? I had the same feeling as with the iPad early on. I need a keyboard and a mouse to be productive.

I wonder how soon will Maya or CATIA offer good enough integration. Maybe they already offer it at the high end.

I guess the flip side of this is that you look like a fucking dork.
