I realize yes. And do you realize if you'll be using keyboard and mouse you may as well not literally wear a computer on your head? Are you aware of displays?

I realize yes. And do you realize if you'll be using keyboard and mouse you may as well not literally wear a computer *on your head*? Are you aware of displays? They can support themselves. On desks. Or wall mounts. Compared to Vision Pro it feels like magic. Self-supporting displays. It's the future. Everything is about to change when people learn about it.

And do you realize that’s by taking the displays off of your desk you can have more of them? Oh, at any size and any location you want. You can continue using the input devices you like but now have as many displays as you want and you can take it with you easily. You assume you will hate it, maybe you will. But maybe the future won’t involve dedicated furniture to put things on and cables connecting them. Maybe you’ll be able to work wherever you want and with the same amount of productivity. Or maybe even better productivity! But you’re probably right, the future will never get any better, this device is pointless and will never lead to better versions of itself or point to other ways of working. Thank you, there’s no telling where we might end up without true believers of the status quo like yourself.

    The people who have actually used the VP have said text rendering is excellent.

        You keep illustrating that you didn't view the keynote, or any of the followup videos and are just judging based on your priors. Clearly you haven't seen the VP in person, or you wouldn't be making such assumptions. I'm not, I'm trusting people who have used the device in person, people who have said the text is very sharp and easy to read. People with much better credentials than a random on HN. And if you had done even the most minimal research, you'd know that the VP has fans that eliminate heat build up and fogging. But hey, you've repeated ad nauseam that you don't like the VP and think it won't succeed. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. You remind me of how ESR was continually predicting the failure of the iPhone until he went quiet on it a few years ago. Same circular reasoning about how it won't succeed because reasons... Yet the people who have seen and used the VP differ greatly with you. Now the VP may not be for everyone, and some elements of Apple's marketing are a bit cringe, but people said the same thing about AirPods.

    I admire the commitment to your opinions lol. Never really sure what motivates someone to tell the world what they aren't interested in using. My snark was aimed at highlighting the weirdness of how important you thought it was for us to know what you hate. It's almost as though you're explaining why current and previous VR goggles haven't done very well. David Smith, among others, have had some experience with the device and are really excited. That excitement also includes several VR specific reporters. I have yet to hear any complaints about screen sharpness. The most upvoted comment is from someone that worked on it and he also thinks the screen Rez isn't a problem. Foveated rendering is probably the reason it looks good. That same guy also said that the active cooling prevented it from getting hot on the face. We'll see how it works IRL. Some have complained about the weight. I'm not all that concerned since this is the first version. I'm excited by the potential, especially since developers are excited about it.
