> It’s also interesting that Apple doesn’t show this being used outdoors at all, despite that apparently perfect pass-through. One Apple video clip ends with someone putting it down to go outside...
I wonder if this was to counter the possible "glasshole" narrative from popping up again like it did with Google Glass, because the device can record whatever the person is looking at(in immersive 3D VR no less!). Not to mention potential safety issues.
It's too early for Apple to gamble on that sort of micro-hardware AR stuff anyway. It makes a lot more sense for them to pack it full of CPU/GPU + high end screens (basically VR but with Retina displays + M2 chips).
I see it like an iPad, it's for hanging out at home for entertainment and occasionally a bit of serious work when you need to do something simple like answer emails. But most of the time you'll still be using for laptop for real work.
I'm sure some hardcore people will try to work fulltime with it on, people are already trying that with Quest 2s. Which I always found a bit crazy.
