This whole thing would have been much better if they’d positioned it as a work and personal entertainment machine, similar to a bunch of monitors with a Mac mini, and replacing iPads or single-viewer TVs. By trying to show interactions with other people, it’s just highlights a weird isolation - what it’s not pointing it out is that the advantage for people like me who work in a private home office where I’m already isolated - this just helps me work there better. I don’t have to cram my small table with monitors any more, and when I do watch a movie or show there I can do it on a giant screen. Even the cameras could have been highlighted much better, either by photographing a complex machine, or an art collaboration across countries.

> This whole thing would have been much better if they’d positioned it as a work and personal entertainment machine Honestly most of the presentation had this exact vibe for me. That the Vision Pro is directly positioned as a device for deep immersion, like movies, gaming, and engrossing work. The two exceptions I remember were those moments where a person plopped their Vision Pro on to take a 3D moment of their children and the one where a person answered a FaceTime call with the Vision Pro while packing their suitcase. I don't see those moments happening in reality with this sort of device.

  From a privacy point of view? Yeah, I’m ok with that if it stays on device, as is usually the case with Apple. The iPads and phones have lidars as well, no? And I’m going to be napping my home to plan renovations etc. Much rather have everything on device.
