one wonders if there is a current niche that could be filled where they have the excellent high fidelity screen of the Vision Pro but without the hand tracking, effectively making it a monitor HUB and optimized for that, but you can still use a mouse and keyboard in addition to some head tracking, but no hand gestures, as it were. Have it entirely driven (experience wise) by the external compute.

I’d love to have portable multiple monitors. However, I’m not sure if that works with a MacBook Air, not sure how well it works, and not sure if I can still control my keyboard/trackpad. I don’t want to lift my arms/touch when editing text. A virtual machine or performant screensharing would work, but I haven’t experienced a good solution yet, so I don’t think it’ll be any better with the Vision Pro Everything under the condition there’s no eye and neck strain

  Thats what I mean, with the Vision Pro, multiple reviews have pointed out you can't really use a mouse and keyboard with it because of the hand recongition. Its not meant to be part of the overall experience. My take here is that if you remove the hand recognition (gestures etc) and only keep some spatial awareness (in so much that turning your head lets you see your other "monitors") and the high fidelity multi-monitor experience, if you would have a better, sleeker product for the medium term. Doesn't even have to be Apple per say, simply a thought exercise. I think I'd use something like that, because mouse / keyboard require no visual interaction (for me at least) 99.9% of the time, and pass-through would be sufficient if I really need it from time to time, but it completely alleviates needing to buy physical monitors, is the idea.

    Same.. More screen real estate and spatial positioning. I just want better and more windows in something reasonably portable (travel). Even a stack of large e-ink panels I could lay on a large table would work great if the software would work properly. The immersiveness is nice and all for games and videos, but def no requirement for my means.
