What we’ve seen of visionOS is really impressive. But thinking about the bits that are currently missing…
HUDs aren’t shown. Maybe they look weird when they aren’t anchored to your space. Maybe their applications are no good if other people in the space can’t see them.
But I wanna see more AR applications for drivers and pilots and surgeons.
Likewise we never saw any in-person shared experiences.
Whether multiple Vision devices would need to coordinate wirelessly (and know their relative position in meatspace), or whether it’d just be a FaceTime call with someone in the same room, you have to assume Apple’s own industrial designers and mechanicals designers want to collaborate on 3D models.
More on this: proximity-based SharePlay is needed just to solve the case of your boss walking up to your desk and asking for a demo. Or swiveling around and asking a coworker for some help on a problem.
Otherwise you gotta go to different rooms and set up a meeting to present your work and talk through it.
Seems like the kind of feature that’s *so* important for office work that you can’t even imagine Apple putting headsets on employees’ desks until it’s solved.
Back to WFH everybody!
