The best effect this will have is drive VR/AR development, now that we have an upper spec/price: 4k+ resolution per eye, $3,499. Now the others can squeeze/converge towards that. The closest thing I can see this being is delivering on some of what Magic Leap failed to do. I was also surprised by the lack of 3D content being described. Was there anything besides the photo/videos? I don't even recall mention of 3D movies (though maybe they were being shown but can't tell on a 2D demo video). What it doesn't do is deliver in aspects I'm interested in. I wanted something in the Bigscreen Beyond form factor without being room-bound. The idea of carrying an entire MacBook Pro and using it is ridiculous, I should be able to use an iPhone but running macOS on it with a Bluetooth keyboard mouse. The lack of precision input makes it a consumer device rather than a creator one.

3D movies were mentioned as a use case and there were multiple 3D app demos. The dinosaur roaring out of an educational app. The beating heart and heart take apart viewer from multiple angles. Walking around machines in place as you examined future workflow. The breathe app doing a full room fireworks thing. And a future National Geographic videos where you are traveling within the school of fish. I could see a fair use case in STEM education helping to visualize atomic structures, do dissection, or otherwise help people engage with the material. Historical videos are often pretty dry and with some machine learning they could punch up Churchill so you are in the crowd listening to his speech surrounded by a period entranced crowd. Will it get to the point that you can go to a concert and watch from the front row with seats in the boonies it is hard to say, although hopefully this contains all the AirPod pro passthru tech blocking out other people’s chatter or nearby vacuuming may be a huge boon to concentration and enjoyment.
