It instantly changed how I work. Seems like a lasting change.
For me, counterintuitively, the stereo 3D is a secondary benefit. Albeit a natural and welcome one.
But the killer feature is the ergonomics of having any number of weightless screens of arbitrary dimension and placement.
It took me a day or so to realize I don’t need a desk so much.
For five days I have been sitting on my couch with a MacBook Air (couch friendly) developing with many screens of relevant info arranged around me.
A mundane but profound benefit of “spatial computing” is no more hardware screen “keyholes” limiting how much information I can see.
Apple seems to get that the Vision Pro wants to be a Mac replacement, not an iPad replacement.
Everything in Vision works with both see-pinch and track/mouse click.
Hoping see-pinch comes to Mac screen in Vision, or simply needing a Mac becomes redundant.
- wpm 3y agoIf Apple wants it to replace the Mac they need to give me a terminal and get the hell out of my way so I can run whatever software I want. So long as Apple is content in foisting all complexity and freedom to the Mac, this will never be more than a really nice iPad replacement for consuming content.
- Nevermark 3y agoThat’s exactly right. When I hoped Apple makes the Mac redundant - I meant “developer friendly”. They should ship XCode for Vision to start. Unlike the touch interfaces of the iPhone and iPad, the Vision interface with keyboard & trackpad/mouse is very development ergonomic.
- Gunnerhead 3y agoAre you able to have multiple apps/desktops from the Mac appear as different screens in the AVP? I’ve been only to have one desktop of my Mac appear.
- Nevermark 3y agoYes that’s the limit for now. My other screens are web pages of info, engineering/hex code calculator, etc
