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.

This might be a bad take but it seems like a worse version of HoloLense. Just glancing at the pros/cons list seems like HoloLense already covered this ground at a similar price point

HoloLens have much worse display quality

[–] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a fair point but HoloLens also didn't block your vision to the environment. I imagine with today's tech, it would've been able to deliver comparable or at least 80% of the image quality while still not needing passthrough and still allowing you to pin screens everywhere.

That's the trade-off. Vision uses the passthrough approach to have a much better display at the cost of actual vision & others seeing your uncanny eyes. Hopefully AR or EyeSight improves.

I skimmed some article in which the author said the vision pro is for work, but I would argue it's the public alpha version of what will eventually be a sleek, relatively inexpensive product for all the people who grew up with iPads and iPhones in their hands since they were in diapers.
