Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not (www.theverge.com)

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.

Yeah, that's sort of its purpose. Take away all the dumb Apple notifications and useless info about the world it can detect, because (surprise) it's not portable, and it's a $3500 virtual desktop you don't need navigate with a mouse. It's useful in some cases, sure, but not a general consumer device at this price point or particular case of use. The bull of purchases were probably made by large scale content creation firms to do things like video editing. Sadly, Microsoft's AR glasses were somehow just a stupid, but more useful than Apple's.
