As pointed out by others, both Microsoft and Meta have faced the same problem.
MS had to do it first to solve boat use for the IVAS military program and partnered with Volkswagen [1]. Meta just announced a program last month [2] and is partnering with BMW.
So like most of the Vision Pro, Apple is using technology choices with the same trade-offs as everyone else in the market and Karl, TFA author, is an opinionated expert in those trades so go read his teardown of the Quest Pro if anyone is offended at his redteam style calling him an Apple basher.
But I think he might be missing the tightly coupled OS layer with an attention to detail not typical in the industry to date. In the same YouTube video quoted above they mention (50:57) developing a whole new glyph rendering engine just to get better text. That and a hundred other fine-tunings is what I hope to see.

- detourdog 3y agoI agree. I think as an expert he might be blind to what Apple is capable of doing. He has already updated some of his comments based on new shit coming to light.
- birdyrooster 3y agoIt's a very complicated field. You know, a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what-have-yous.
