Another bonus, which I've found traveling with my Vision Pro, is when I get to my AirBnb/Hotel, I don't have to log into my streaming services when I want to relax. I've brought my whole home theater experience with me.

kinda true, but I'm surprised how some apps expect you to watch movies upright (TV+, Disney), which makes watching movies laying down quite "non ergonomic". ;)

  The Meta Quest 2/3 finally fixed that a few months ago [1], where you "tilt" the horizon of the entire OS [2]. So it doesn't matter if an app doesn't support it -- you can lie on your bed and watch a screen directly above you even if it was only designed for horizontal use. It's a game-changer if you have back/neck problems. Does the AVP not have something equivalent? To be honest, I was surprised it took Meta so long to get around to implementing it.

    AVP doesn't support it when in 'theater mode' but if your video is a typical window you can simply lie down and recenter it onto the ceiling. The horizon stays locked but any windows can be parallel to the ground.

      also not with 3d "Windows" (e.g. Cut-The-Rope).

    yes, with windows. But not with Theater Mode or 3d "Windows" (e.g. Cut-The-Rope).

Why would you need to re log-in into streaming services in a hotel? How does AVP alleviate that need? Do you mean you watch it on a smart TV in a hotel? Then I guess you could connect a laptop to that TV with an HDMI cable and not have to re-log in, right?

  Correct, I don't have to log into the streaming service on the TV. HDMI + Laptop would do this too if I traveled with a laptop and HDMI cable.

Chromecast from your phone?
