“Active noise cancellation for your eyes” is a great way to put. I also have found myself using the mount hood environment set to daytime as the setting for macOS + visionOS multi-window set up. I took it off yesterday before some friends came over for dinner and I was kind of shocked that it had gotten dark outside because my mind felt like it was still day time since the sun was out in mount hood. I had actually be…

Is there a setting to allow the environment to change lighting conditions on a 24 hour schedule?

My biggest problem is that it is sometimes difficult to read the keys on my keyboard. I really wish that it could do object recognition on my keyboard and re-render the keycaps. This would be especially useful in "environments", which make the keyboard disappear entirely.

When this is available in a smaller form-factor, I'll have one for certain.

It would be nice if they could take input as well, to display inside a screen somewhere (HDMI or whatever).

I feel pretty confident we're going to have this available as sunglasses before I'm dead, which is pretty cool.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How is the resolution? I never tried a Vision Pro yet, but that was my main gripe with my Rift. Indeed, IME, the ‶real world″ size of the windows is nothing, it's their angular resolution that is a make or break.

It ranges from okay to not that bad. It’s not as good as the “retina” screens in Apple’s other products. I can definitely see pixels on the device if I’m wearing contacts unlike what most of the early reviewers claimed. But it’s not so bad as to be unusable and you don’t really notice them in most contexts - the main place I notice pixels is using it as a screen for macOS. VisionOS apps are rendered very large by def…

For non-text content, I think it's pretty good, actually. Watching content in Disney+ or Max's theater modes is really satisfying despite those virtual screens being sub-4k.

I recently had a kid and lost my office :), I've been struggling to have a set space for work when he's asleep, but would absolutely love it if I could just put on a headset. Is it workable for that?

I used to try to code in the quest3 but the resolution felt like I might as well be coding on my phone. I'll go buy one today if this would be an office replacement for me.

Completely different from my reality; the selective blurring when connected to a laptop hurts my eyes and forces me to refocus them constantly. The limited field of vision stops where I can place my windows and displays without moving my head. The resolution noticeably worse (as expected) than my 2 year old 5K monitor.

That is a really good idea
