The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

    And you can take off a visor.

    Have you never been so engrossed in an activity that you’ve tuned out the world around you, only to be shocked when someone taps you on the shoulder to get your attention? These complaints are as worn out as Aristotle moaning about the youths.

      Which is a lot more complicated than turning your head. And it covers your entire field of vision. And people still can’t see what you’re doing.

        More complicated please, it’s a lifting motion, hardly anything special and no different to removing headphones from ones ears.

        And why do people need to see what I’m doing? If I’m on my phone, do they need to be able to read my screen as well? Is it not enough to see that I’m on my phone.

          God VR fanboys are annoying. “There is absolutely nothing isolating about putting on goggles that completely blind you to the world.”

          They had to put creepy eyes on the outside and invent super low latency video pass through for fun I guess.

            I don’t own or have any inclinations towards getting a VR headset.

            Im an isolation fanboy thank you very much.

            I see nothing wrong with people being able to tune out and enjoy whatever they want without others demands for their attention.

            It isn’t any more isolating than reading a newspaper. You can take both off in a second.

            Or do you mean putting it away?
