I dislike Apple, but this is the way future will like. AR (and maybe VR, but who knows) will definitely be amazing in a decade or so. BUT I think some people will still stick to smartphones, especially ones who don't want to spend their whole day with technology and social media.
I am definitely buying an AR headset, as long as it's affordable and can replace at least half of the tasks I do on my computer/phone. The AR device with Windows 11 and computing power of standard computer would be just fucking amazing, and I wouldn't go back.
Microsoft barely made a PC interface, they’re the last ones i would expect make a proper AR interface.
Aren't they removing the AR they built into the OS? I swear I read recently that they gave up on their customers that bought their headset so people that have it are forced to stay on an old version of windows just to use them.
Microsoft’s game plan seems to be:
It was exactly like that for Windows on ARM.
In other words, regardless of whether you like/hate Apple, if the Vision Pro does not success, then there probably won’t be any further investment in the space from MS either.
I don't mind any of the companies when they have tech that does a job really well. Sadly it seems that they all have this collective idea that anything they've done well is not worth maintaining at some point. I'm neither a Linux, windows, or Mac fan. And each have their strengths. You just pick the poison while it's available to fill a need.
