How long I wonder before Apple is able to link multiple Vision Pros together so that people in the same physical space can share the same augmented reality?
Imagine if when he says hello to his partner, she's also wearing a Vision Pro and is able to walk around their house seeing the same reality.
That would make the VP much less isolating which is one of the main "I'd never use this" reasons I have against it. I could imagine in a few years time my wife and I each having these (our kids are grown and out of the house) and using them to work during the day and watch movies together at night.
Now, not at $3,500 a piece and with all the compromises this device has. But a future device that's more affordable and has fewer compromises... maybe.
- audunw 3y agoI feel like it’s more or less guaranteed that Apple will end up implementing this eventually. Just as my wife and I can both connect our AirPods to the Apple TV and watch a movie while the kids are sleeping.

They have the data. They're good at repackaging the squick as sparkle.
- cubefox 3y agoThis reminds me of some dystopian science fiction film where everyone is immersed in a shiny AR layer, while reality without the layer is dirty and derelict. Scene: A fancy nightclub, pretty people dancing to very loud music, surreal virtual objects and effects everywhere. Swap to reality: The music turns off. It's no longer night. An old, run-down building. Headset people in shabby clothes dancing to inaudible sounds, talking way too loudly, interacting with non-existent objects in the empty air. Everything is dusty. Beams of sunlight shining through half transparent windows. They haven't been cleaned for decades.
- crtasm 3y agoI've been to some excellent parties in buildings like that!
- aaroninsf 3y agoI've been to some of the worst parties ever like that, for sure. EDIT (since I can't reply to myself): <winks>
- js2 3y agoSure, I'm cognizant of that too: Ready Player One, The Matrix, Neuromancer. But I honestly don't think that's our most likely future dystopia. For me it's a toss up between Brazil and Idiocracy.

- astrange 3y agoThat's what the end of any good party is like already.
- wkat4242 3y agoDo you remember the film?
- threeseed 3y agoApple SharePlay has an SDK and was likely built for Vision Pro. https://developer.apple.com/shareplay/ https://developer.apple.com/shareplay/

- makeitdouble 3y agoThis is a good point. I'm also looking forward the discussions when someone wants to move to the Meta reality when the rest of the family is in the Apple reality, and all the blue postits vs green postits arguments within shared group spaces.
