Shit, my monitor costs 2/3 the price of the Vision Pro

Two professional 27" 4k dell monitors cost ~$800 combined. You overpaid like a mf if you spend $2000 on a monitor.

and an ideal piece of AR hardware would be immeasurably better

Let me know when someone announces one.

Meetings in virtual space would negate how much meetings suck remotely

Lol, citation needed.

Having unlimited screen real estate would make a huge difference in my line of work.

Agreed, as long as using those screens didn't require wearing a pair of ski goggles that will die after 2 hours.

Also, being able to use any area in my home or out of it with as much screen real estate as I want would be huge.

An understandable point... I would argue that it's a much better practice for your mental health to have a dedicated space that you work to create a clear mental separation between home and work but it may work if that space is virtual.

and I’m 100% okay with it being the thing that introduces the benefit of AR to those without imagination.

Those benefits don't take imagination they just take having seen a sci Fi movie in the past 20 years.

Sorry, but you don’t understand the needs of the market that we’re talking about if you think that a pair of ~$400 dell monitors is equivalent to a high-end display. The difference between $800 and $2500 amounts to a few days’ worth of production for my workstation, which is very easily worth the huge difference in color accuracy, screen real estate, and not having a bezel run down the middle of your workspace over the 3-5 years that it’s used.

blah blah blah

I already said that I’m talking about the Vision Pro as a first step in the direction of a fully-realized AR workstation. As it currently stands, it’s got some really cool tech that’s going to be a lot of fun for the guinea pig early adopters that fund the development of the tech I’m personally interested in.

blah blah blah I'm an Apple fan boi who will project whatever sci fi utopia I have in my head onto an over priced Quest Pro if it has an Apple Logo.

I’m actually laughing over here, that was pretty good.
