Disappointingly banal for the field. Spend a couple of minute with your favorite search engine to search for architecture + XR and you will find countless projects, from weekend hackathon prototypes to professional suites to integrations in industrial tools, e.g BIM support, from mobile phone to high end headsets, spanning decades of work.
This is arguably the most banal use of XR, for the Vision Pro or any headset.
It's still cool and useful but if that reaches the top of HR it shows a worrying state of both the platform and the XR industry.
PS: I work in XR and spend time on HN so clearly not the audience.
- leni536 3mo agoTurns out some popular projects are popular for a reason. It is IMO cool, even if it's not novel.
- utopiah 3mo agoYep I even said it's cool but it's a bit like someone being surprised tablets can be used for sketching. If tablets were just released it'd be a nice discovery. If it's years later and there are dozens if not hundreds of sketching solutions to sketch on tablets, it's strange to be surprised by this legitimately cool and precisely popular usage.
