It feels like they want to use this first version of the Vision Pro as a sort of public beta release? My speculation is that their target audience is quite niche, on purpose, that they want to see how it performs in real life, while controlling the onboarding and working on ramping up their production processes. And a future version would target the general public. Just my personal thoughts. It’s not for me in its current form, I feel I wouldn’t be able to deal with a heavy and warm mask on my face isolating me from my surrounding for more than a few minutes (quite sure I would be sweating a good amount while wearing it…). Hopefully we will get something closer to Dennou Coil soon :)

My thinking as well, it’s very similar to how the first Apple Watch was rolled out: appointment for a “fitting” with a device that was eventually completely overhauled (so much as to call the v1 the “series 0” due to how different the v2 was). I think they want to see how users actually want to use this thing then rework the hardware to suit that. Also, they want developers to figure out what they want to do with it. If it was a “development kit” people would still try to get their hands on one like with the Apple Silicon dev kit, but with this anyone can try it out if they have the money and time to do so.
