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.

    To carry the whole VisionPro bag, keyboard and mouse instead of simply taking your laptop? The review makes it clear it’s not usable without peripherals, you will still need some desk. It’s solving a problem that doesn’t exist.

      I work on 3 monitors during the day, with multiple virtual desktops. It solves for that, and that alone. That being said, I wouldn’t pay $3500 for the privilege, especially when it ONLY operates in the Apple ecosystem, which I don’t care for. Other VR desktops exist, but they’re all kinda “meh”. I’ll invest when a device can be used neutrally as just a VR monitor tool.

        The stuff I’ve seen is saying it can only do one extra display from a mac. Is there another way? The high resolution capabilities also suggest one full quality display would max out wireless bandwidth.

          Spatial window arrangements essentially makes an entire 360 space of a room the monitor. You don’t need many views at that point.
