The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

    God VR fanboys are annoying. “There is absolutely nothing isolating about putting on goggles that completely blind you to the world.”

    They had to put creepy eyes on the outside and invent super low latency video pass through for fun I guess.

      It isn’t any more isolating than reading a newspaper. You can take both off in a second.

      Or do you mean putting it away?

        I wouldn’t know, I’m not old enough to have ever read a newspaper. I do know that compared to every other display I’ve used, putting goggles over my face is much more isolating.

        But that pales to the other isolating problem, which is that there’s no way to easily watch something with someone. With my phone we just… both look at the phone. With VR we need to get them another VR headset, and an account, then install an app and then, finally, I can show my mom a three second cat video.

      I don’t own or have any inclinations towards getting a VR headset.

      Im an isolation fanboy thank you very much.

      I see nothing wrong with people being able to tune out and enjoy whatever they want without others demands for their attention.
