As a VisionPro owner, I was pretty surprised when I first used it that WebXR wasn't supported out of the box.
It's an amazing piece of hardware. But they have really dropped the ball on software -- so far.
- dmarcos 2y agoWebXR has been in Safari for Vision Pro since day one but disabled by default behind a flag. It’s the usual process that browser vendors follow to ship new APIs. In the fall it will be enabled by default for everyone.
- joshstrange 2y agoThe software sucks because it’s just iPadOS with windows and iPadOS sucks. Yes, it’s the best iPad you can buy but at the end of the day iPadOS is incredibly limiting and visionOS is no different. I really wanted to like my AVP and I was even ok with MVD being the only thing I used it for but even that was lackluster. I spent the rest of my time fighting with apps that felt like limited toys instead of a step forward in productivity. Maybe if MVD gets as sharp as “native” apps I could use it and bypass the limitations of the AVP OS but I just don’t see visionOS getting much better. Look at iPadOS and how long it’s had to improve and it still is the limiting factor (not the hardware). An M* in a MBP runs circles around the same M-chip in an iPad. I say all of this as a huge Apple fan who uses iPads as part of my business (I own over 40 iPads) and I bought the AVP at launch (then returned it).
