@dansinker *laughs out loud* (*sobs uncontrollably*)
@dansinker The most heartbraking stuff really!
@Erikmitk @dansinker this was considered *marketing material*. So reality will be *even sadder*. 💔

@dansinker I'm going to hard disagree. If the display is sufficient that Excel is usable in VR in this configuration, that's just cracking the door open for more interesting user interfaces that are not just pixels on a simulated flat surface.

This shot was probably the one that excited me the most as it implicitly states that Apple has solved a ton of HARD visual problems that has kept me from using my Oculus in any meaningfully productive capacity.

@dansinker May as well show how upper management can push video feed into your field of view for maximum despair.
@dansinker Totally looks like those Microsoft Office pane of glass videos from the early 2000s.
@danhon @dansinker very excited to see how that super immersive internet will mix with super slow corporate VPNs
@harrisj @dansinker look jacob it's just vnc
@danhon @dansinker but I can make Excel really big
@dansinker I just realized, this is microsoft bob, but on your face
@dansinker Seriously. They mentioned things like going over a presentation together several times but, like, that’s something nobody enjoys doing under any circumstance. Just cuz you can do it wearing goggles and feel like Tom Cruise in Minority Report it’s not gonna be any more satisfying a thing to do.
@dansinker don’t you want 3D Clippit???
@dansinker Big tech still hasn't figured out that people don't want to do things in VR that they're already doing otherwise, and can do *better* otherwise, huh...
@dansinker charging the floating excel window like an enraged bull charging a red cape
@dansinker If you squint, you can see that spreadsheet is someone trying to figure out how they can afford to buy the #VisionPro #wwdc2023

@dansinker in the future, we can ALL have virtual spreadsheets!

"Friend, are you tired of seeing your inventory control SS on your old, dull monitor? Now with the magic of iEyes you can really feel like you are in the spreadsheet!"

@dansinker "I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. So the perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from."
@dansinker reminds me of this dashboard project I was involved with
and the day after we went live an #executive came over and asked if we could export to #Excel
@dansinker @markhurst I, for one, welcome Microsoft Excel blazing into both of my eyes. You can’t police my kink
