I am completely convinced that AR-style extended reality is the thing that can someday replace desktop computing for a lot of people, if it is not hobbled by poor management and ecosystem decisions before it gets there. Keep your physical keyboard and trackpad, but virtualize your monitors and your macOS environment. If Apple's headset really is on a path, however many years away, towards becoming traditional glasses, this all seems inevitable. Perhaps eventually you won't even need the glasses
There is so much room for xrOS to grow; software no longer confined to a little aluminum and glass box you carry with you, or sit on your desk. There really is nothing else out there in the space anywhere good enough to be your next primary computing platform, just tasteless tech demos and crummy UI playgrounds, filled with jank and despair, plus some admittedly fun games-players. Even as 'merely’ an iPad-for-your-face, an Apple XR headset has such a potential lead over everything else
@stroughtonsmith I think it’s a lack of imagination to force 2D rectangle into XR.
It should feel and be more of 3D UX.
@danielinoa 2D content will be important thousands of years into the future. The idea that everything needs to be ported to 3D, because reasons, is nonsense. The stuff that will benefit from 3D will be 3D
