I have often wondered why none of the other VR/AR companies really keyed in on this. While it it not as sexy as 'immersive video games' I can tell you that I would have been on the AR/VR train a long time ago if they were offering me the ability to use the goggles as a huge chunk of screen real estate. I can imagine a lot of people in mac-friendly open office spaces hopping onto this as soon as it is available.

Edit: OK, just saw the Disney pitch for Vision Pro. They are going to sell a ton of these things to every sports fanatic in the world.



Probably because it’s not just the screen/goggles, but the whole ecosystem, i.e. the OS (input, touch, scrolling, mouse, widgets, …)

Imagine building this on Windows. It won’t suck less, it’s just suck in 3D.


I'm not sure that will be available this generation, that was a big "imagine" scenario from my understanding.

From what I understand the other headsets aren't suitable for code. With 23M pixels, I hope this one can cut it
