I think it’s a neat/best vr headset, but I think most of the spacial computing stuff is dumb.
Having your emails floating above your desk in the office is stupid.
Useful things for augmented reality - pulling up diagnostic/data on things by looking at them like in a video game. Helping me find the wall-stud and level things.
It's so fucking funny that you've invented this audio visual immersion pod, completely encapsulating yourself in an artifical world, and the best tool for organizing your work is still just digital graph paper.
The Medicis had "a big dark room full of ledger books" 600 years ago. Now you can live like a medieval Italian accountant for the low, low price of a month's salary.
The real secret of Apple's success is knowing the astronomical costs some suburban dork will pay for the newest toys.
Even then, these devices keep getting tried and they keep failing. Better off putting one of those hologram projectors on the next iPhone, tbh. That's something you can show off to your friends, at least.
Stud finders cost like $8, you can probably get a shitty level for the same price, sometimes I just measure from the ground and mark two points with a pencil.
I like that a lot of new products now are just inferior, outrageously expensive versions of things that have worked fine for decades or even centuries.
it's the whole tech foward thing that has gripped many people, where they assume more tech = more better
There's very, very good applications for tech, I ain't exactly conservative about this, but so much of it is just applying computer to problem thats easily solved without computer
“The Vision Pro is bad” But that is also good?
I’m tired.

It’s kind of stupid tech.
You will be able to do enter data into spreadsheets and make sales calls in VR

The people buying this probably won’t be missing that monthly salary. Usually tech reviewers and the dumbest, richest rubes

No shit.
But those are basically the use-cases for augmented reality.
Sorry I worded that poorly.
I was posting pre coffee, I’m sorry. your phrase was great. We are on the same page.
The best things people can come up with for the $3500 headset that had millions spent on research.. is.. maybe $20 of stuff.
The tech is Neat, but it’s really only good for entertainment.

It’s interesting how the AR workspace is easily the most appealing feature for me, yet I see plenty of people see it as silly.
I’m likely a silly person I guess.
You can do that with windows / meta quest 3.
This is better.
But there are only so many different things you can actually look at before your brain isn’t really looking great.
Or you wanting that space as a work-around for bad UI designs.
