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.

    What kind of people that travel a lot you think may benefit? Genuinely curious. All the guys who do travel can mostly do everything with their phone because they have other guys working for them in the office doing the actual multiple screens stuff. Or maybe these are the only ones I saw in my life on the road )

      Software engineers that work remotely? My uncle has to spend at least 8 hours travelling a month often by plane to attend meetings he still has to do despite being most of the time at home

        I’m a systems engineer who spends most of my time coding, and I have a quest 2. Unless apple has somehow fixed the big issue of VR headsets having no peripheral vision (you have to move your head to see things not in the cone in front of you, can’t just shift your eyes) and relatively shit resolution, using a VR headset as a large screen/screens for text content would still be headache inducing.

        The amount you’d have to zoom the text in order to be readable for long periods of time would make it unreasonable to try and code in.

        I would love for VR to actually work as the movie idea of an infinite desktop, but in my experience it really falls short in that use case. I’ll admit, a quest 2 is a real budget headset, so maybe higher end ones work better for it, but the one high end headset I’ve used had the same limitations.
