You’d be surprised how many people who work for some places don’t actually use their own products. It’s why I think Meta hasn’t done well making VR mass market, if your own engineering and marketing teams aren’t using the product you can’t sell it.

Apple is unique in marketing just because I feel like their teams do a great job showcasing how this technology fits into your every day life and why it will be better for it.

I wonder what he’s doing with it. I’d guess just regular work with a mac? Or sitting on the couch watching videos?

They’re selling it as a working aid, and monitor replacement. Like an iPad with infinite display size and resolution. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t just send emails and have video conferences with it all day.

Regarding the monitor: the resolution is the same (apart from you being able to make it bigger, I think there’s still the same space) and there’s only one monitor available and that’s replacing your Mac screen. That seems to be an obvious use case, but in its current form it feels somewhat useless (unless I’m misunderstanding something).

The resolution is virtual. If this can attain the same pitch/ppi as your eye can see, then you can create infinite monitors around you and you can switch around by turning your head. A very different experience than physical monitors. That’s what I meant, but it’s also what Apple is selling.

You are talking about different things. Using the native OS you can have infinite windows at any size, but if you are duplicating your desktop view from your Mac then you are limited to a fixed-density single screen

I don’t think he’d lie about that. He wasn’t even asked about it, he said it himself without being prompted

As somebody who never bought into the VR hype, I’m actually pretty excited about apple vision. The portable aspect and the other qol features make me want to buy one. I feel like after a very long time Apple has entered the game late but made the game exponentially better. Let’s see how this pans out.

I mean to don’t really need your word processor to be a “3D experience”. I think a big part of Vision Pro is bringing your work environment with you. Like, you know where everything is, how to find it, etc.

When you need to “step into your office to draw that up” you can just pull your headset down for a minute.

He sits, alone, watching movies? He sits alone working with floating spreadsheets? I mean, that’s about all they demoed.
