I like this closing in Victoria Song’s Apple Vision Pro hands-on for The Verge:

I’d been furrowing my brow, concentrating so hard, I felt the beginnings of a mild headache. That tension dissipated as soon as I took the headset off, but walking back out into Manhattan, I kept replaying the demo over in my head. I know what I just saw. I’m just still trying to see where it fits in the real world.

I remain skeptical that this product should be a priority right now.

@manton I haven't even looked at their marketing page again. I see images of that woman sitting on the sofa, and I'm like... NOPE. I really wonder what they're aiming for with "Spacial Computing" — probably another very tightly controlled system where they have ultimate control? Dunno. Super weird. I reckon it will sell though, and probably will be a multi million dollar business for them... or it will have the HomePod fate. Hard to speculate.

@manton I agree, the whole piece is very informative and the closing is that cherry on top that you expect from a good journalist

@eumrz @vincent @manton This is an expensive experiment for Apple, but until they make an extremely affordable one, this won't really fly.

@manton remind me again what problem Vision Pro solves?

@manton Seems like even Apple agrees, with how quietly they released the pre-order and launch dates!
