I bought a Newton when it came out. A very expensive way to glimpse the future, including the iPhone.
When VR gets more comfortable to wear, it will represent a more dramatic shift than moving from terminals to graphical user interfaces.
For now, the Vision Pro very accurately tracks your eyes, but waits for an explicit finger gesture to act. Future interfaces with deep learning will take the form of very sophisticated visual autocomplete, guided by observations of our reactions that would destroy us at poker.
The Vision Pro is the camel's nose under the tent.
- archagon 2y agoOne of my least favorite things about the VP is the lack of deterministic input. (Finger gestures failing to respond as intended maybe 5% of the time.) The last thing I want in VR is even less determinism. We’re backsliding from 100% reliable buttons to slightly finicky touch inputs to inscrutable AI-backed gesture detectors. This goes against decades of HI research.
