I use the iPad Blink Shell app, it can have multiple windows and renders using the VisionOS UI, making it sharper than mirroring a Mac's display. It helps that I have optimised a great part of my workflow due to me liking tablets. Like others have said, AVP is like strapping an iPad on your head - I happen to like my iPad, too.

That's great! It even supports VS Code. How did you manage to use the mouse? My AVP refuses to pair with a bluetooth mouse.

It only supports the Apple Magic Trackpad: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213998

I returned mine today after attempting to use it for work for a few hours at a time over the last week. I felt the same eye strain with my Mac as a mirrored display. Zoom calls were cool, but nobody could take the Persona seriously. After a few days the eye strain seemed to get worse and worse, until yesterday it give me such a bad headache I decided that was enough.

> Zoom calls were cool, but nobody could take the Persona seriously. This is going to be another of their socially awkward gimmicks like Memojis they will double down until they inevitably fail. I really feel like Apple actually just doesn’t feel it and every time they’re pushing their weird geeky ideas onto their users they loose a bit of coolness factor. And if kids decide Apple got too cringe, while someone else m…

Damn. My family use Memojis heavily!

I find the comparison to "headphones" for your eyes really interesting because it might provide a long-term view as to the Vision Pro's place on the computer market. Desktop speakers and Hi-Fi home stereo equipment are obviously still a thing today, and, in a few generation (and with the advent of more competition), the case of bigger desktops (and possibly laptops/tablets) might be analogous to today's headphone-loudspeaker duality.

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.

This is really just an opportunity for you to up your typing game. Black out your letters a few at a time until the keyboard is blank.

I can touch type just fine, it’s finding the home row to put my fingers in the start positions that is the problem. Blacking out my keyboard wouldn’t accomplish anything.

It doesn’t need to do that, just be sufficiently high resolution.

Well fine, but the resolution isn’t high enough, so it does need to do that.

Had the opposite experience. My 6k monitor kicked the butt of the spatial computing screen. My Macbook was easier to use. I could use my phone laying on the side. There were ultimately a lot better, less blurry display options.

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

Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor - U3224KB is pretty good.

The same as the `Pro Display XDR` but with more ports, and half the cost.

I don't know if it's intentional, but it's a reference to a Steve Jobs quote from 2005:

"Headphones are a miraculous thing. You put on a pair of headphones and you get the same experience you get with a great pair of speakers, right? There’s no such thing as headphones for video. There’s not something I can carry with me, that I can put on and it gives me the same experience I get when I’m watching my 50-inch plasma display at home. Until someone invents that, you’re gonna have these opposing constraints."

Walt Mossberg then mentions goggles, and Jobs says "but they're lousy!" (And Walt adds, "you never get a date if you wear them.")

I tried to use the Vision Pro for work, and I'm not sure if it was just my eyes or what, but looking at code inside of that thing was just...exhausting. When I took it off, I looked at my regular monitors with a newfound love. I'd love for this thing to reach it's full potential as this 'work from a mountaintop, but really your garage' device, but I feel like until the resolution gets to the same as existing monitors…
