I agree that “Vision” is a good product name, but “Vision Pro” just feels intensely pedestrian. Why is it called “Pro?” Is there a non-Pro version?

It's like adding "tactical" to a product that is black on the title on Amazon. You'll be able to charge more money for the same thing. It also signals you might eventually launch a lower end model.

curious how typing on a keyboard will work don't recall seeing that on the presentation.. also 2hrs battery, on a flight can you carry those... inconvenient (impractical?)

You look at the letters on the keyboard, and "tap" by pinching your fingers. You can also just look at an input and start speaking.

Anyone here that was there yesterday and used it, what's it like looking "through" it at the world, how does focusing on near and far work? Are the cameras adjusting focus based on where you are looking?

What will the non-Pro version not have, compared to the Pro?
