On: Apple Vision Pro – Potential hardware issues

I’d say it probably makes sense for the intended use cases; the ones they have shown in their videos.

Mostly sitting on a couch, or leisurely strolling in your huge, mostly empty, living room while discussing with your colleagues or family.

Instead of, say, wildly moving your arms around to slice a cube in beat saber, or shoot down a face hugger in Alyx.

The other big difference being the supposed ability to clearly see your environnement.

But then, this is all suppositions. And they have screwed up more than a few times. Wait and see, I guess.

… Yes?

Considering some people’s use cases, the same could be said of a MacBook Pro or an iMac.

I mean, have you seen their introduction video? [1] It’s basically watching movies on a huge screen and chatting with heads embedded in floating windows.

Then I guess, I'm not a target customer and Apple doesn't want my money. Fair enough, more money for me for other things. Yay!

Indeed, taking over control of a market is more trouble than it is really worth. Apple wants alternatives. They're happy just taking the lion's share of profits.
