That makes sense... he's a fairly normal person. I could see using the Vision Pro at a co-working place anyway, especially for someone who's an iOS app developer.
It does seem like an oddly clunky device by Apple standards. I don't find the overall idea abhorrent and could picture owning one down the road - perhaps after they've had a few years to make the device smaller and less expensive. I have no idea what I'd use it for though. Maybe once there are more exciting games than repackaged mobile games like Super Mega Fruit Ninja.
Oh, yeah. More power to him. A later post by him said that the app he’s developing for it has already paid for the cost of the headset. I fully believe he’s just out there working.
I’m hoping in a few generations, when they’ve got the form factor worked out, and the price under control, that it’ll be more to my liking.
I don’t think I would ever want to interact with someone while wearing it, but it could be great for all the things VR is great for, but without the creepy Facebook privacy invasion. (I know - Apple is slipping down that slope, too. They’re just not as far down it yet.)
