People spending 3.5K to code is peak capitalism. Yes, I am exaggerating a little bit, but frankly coding like this is kinda silly, you don't need this headset to fancy manipulate text presentation when the really important thing, the abstractions, are in your brain.

Sure it is, you don't need it to do today's work.

Yet, I find it very interesting to explore what tomorrow's work could look like given this approach to 'spatial computing'.

Because tech will eventually become cheaper and better, perhaps reaching a level that is won't costs more than any other piece of gear.

I dunno. I know people who use their Memojis regularly and seem to enjoy it. I personally do not, but I think I’m not their target user. Not sure what the broader adoption looks like. But I think these are different enough capabilities that the success or failure of one is not necessarily predictive of the other.

> Not sure what the broader adoption looks like. Just google news Memojis and see what you get. Hardly any content, and if you navigate 2-3 pages further, you quickly reach 2022 and 2021 articles. If that doesn't scream "low adoption" then I don't know what does.

As a method of estimating adoption, that seems fairly suspect. It doesn't exactly seem like a capability that would generate much news.

Google Trends seems more likely to be instructive, and as a topic, it has shown fairly steady (if low) interest over time after peaking on release with some periodic spikes most likely correlated with major updates.

But as a feature, I wouldn't expect even Google trends to be very instructive (for understanding adoption), since people who know how to use them aren't likely to be out there searching. More use = more familiarity = less searching. Who knows; maybe they're barely used, but there isn't good data to back up that claim, and there are a number of other ways to interpret the data that does exist.

With all of that said, I'll maintain that I don't see any real connection between them and Personas, or any predictive value in comparing them.

Having something strapped to your face, that you have to put on and take off, is never going to be a substitute for working in open space unhindered.

Why's that? They can get the weight down to barely more than glasses, and with good pass through video and battery improvements... You'll be pretty unencumbered. Certainly not more encumbered than being glued to your laptop on a desk.

> Why's that? They can get the weight down to barely more than glasses

Even after 36 years of wearing glasses (current ones weight barely 20 gram), they still bother me, and I fiddle with them constantly.

Interesting. I have a Studio Display and it just feels like a huge compromise. There are only two 5K displays on the market that can render macOS at Retina resolution on a 27" panel: this one and the LG Ultrafine, which isn't that much cheaper. My last monitor was a 27" LG QD-OLED 144Hz 4K display. I LOVED that display, but text wasn't sharp because of the Retina resolution problem. I also have a semi-professional we…

Dells 6k is quite alright at reasonable price. Has some quirks though

I love it. It is exactly the right size to have two windows side by side. 27“ used to work but nowadays half a 27 is no longer enough for many web applications

Every few years I buy Dell QHD displays 24’’ second hands on local ads websites, I have 4 of them (not all installed at the same place), for an average of ~150€ per display. They are definitely not sexy but work perfectly as monitors and hubs.

Why do you replace them every few years?

I do not replace them, I buy additional ones

Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor - U3224KB is pretty good. The same as the `Pro Display XDR` but with more ports, and half the cost.

Have the kinks with the U3224KB been worked out? I had one for a while but ended up returning it and replacing it with a Studio Display due to a bunch of papercuts (blog post with details in my profile, if interested) mostly concerning its functionality with macOS (though there were a couple of issues with the monitor itself too, mainly the AG coating).

Well I’ve been using it with Mac os

Anti glare covers for laptop monitors are significantly cheaper.

The main problem with using ordinary monitors outside is that they are never bright enough.

Some are definitely lacking. I find gaming ones do better but at a cost of battery life.

Which 6k monitor do you have? I'm looking to get one.

I don’t think I would call it “the same” as the Pro Display XDR, pretty sure it’s not the same panel?

I have the XDR and got it as I live in an apartment which gets a ton of natural sunlight and the XDR goes to 1000 nits sustained brightness (1600 peak for hdr). The specs of the Dell panel indicate max brightness of 450 nits, so not at all comparable.

Seeing alot of online reviews that the AVP is too heavy. The front loaded weights but pressure on your cheeks and the straps put pressure on your temple. I like the idea of multiple monitors at high resolution, but not worth the pain on the face.

Similarly, I'm intrigued by the possibility of using it for coding whilst aboard a sailboat, where having multiple large physical screens isn't a possibility due to limited space and lack of suitable mounting surfaces. Very curious to see how tolerable the UX is in an environment that's almost always experiencing some degree of motion independent of the user.

> Similarly, I'm intrigued by the possibility of using it for coding whilst aboard a sailboat, where having multiple large physical screens isn't a possibility due to limited space and lack of suitable mounting surfaces. It’s amazing to me what people will do to avoid being present in the moment. You’re on a sailboat, enjoy it, smell the ocean, feel the water on your face, breathe deeply and take it all in. If you’re…

In this model, the work pays for the cruising. There's plenty of time to enjoy the elements, local sights, boat maintenance, what have you, after taking care of business.

Besides the ocean and elements, there's also a certain beauty in using the latest technology to operate a SAAS company from almost anywhere on the planet.
