@gulovsen As I said before already, the #AppleVisionPro or any #WearableComputer of that kind can't become a #MassMarket success for all the reasons starting from the #price over being an #Apple product aka. hamfisted into uselessness and also lacking not just reasons and #applications to use it outside of the spechal nieche-cases that need #AugmentedReality and #EyeTracking.
- There, it's clumsy development tools and limitations are an acceptable exchange for being dozens of times cheaper, lighter and less cumbersome to setup at the user level than competing options. Just like the #ProDisplayXDR's price tag was only insulting to the people that never were the target audience to begin with (tho not having a real, stable and hard-fixed #VESA-Mount is an unforgiving sin given that they could've easily made that happen instead if a shitty & overpriced adaptor!)...
Personally, I'd consider building myself a #Optigon + #Somatic combo instead because that shit I can at least use with my existing tools and without misplaced trust into a #GAFAM that bows before the "P.R." China of all regimes...

@[email protected] I mean, AR for complex stuff makes sense... Like having an engineer fixing a turbofan on an airliner have the maintenance instructions in their FOV and being able to contextually see relevant data (i.e. Hydraulic Pressure a line is supposed to have or the torque at which the bolt has to be affixed they screw in... Similarly, it does make sense for surgeons to have relevant info at hand and like a dynamically overlaid HUD that shows the planned procedure and can overlap additional info (i.e. X-Ray and MRI images)... And for those areas, Microsoft sold their HoloLens quite well as the cost of a fuckup is peanuts compared to a fully decked out portable workstation and hygenically encapsulated setup like that. I just think the #VisionPro will never be a mass-market item, even if that makes me sound like #SteveBallmer reacting to the #iPhone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eywi0h_Y5_U
