A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Which for the Apple Vision Pro can only be the case as it hasn’t been out long enough to conduct anything more than a short term experiment.

Nah, we've had AR stuff for like a decade by now. That's enough to call this article pseudoscience at best. It's flat-earth level stupidity, not a valid speculation.

The Vision Pro, despite Apple's marketing, is not AR. AR devices like Hololens allow you to see AR overlayed on top of the world. VR devices like the Vision Pro allow you to see the world behind the headset through cameras. VR isn't really new either, but VR headsets that you can realistically wear continuously like in Apple's ads have yet to come out.

Ah, that's right. But there have been people wearing VR goggles very long. And MS Hololens (although AR) was similar enough to not ignore imho.
