Is the Vision Pro for watching movies? Working? Being alone? Collaborating? Nobody knows, really.

    I’m sorry, but do you just talk to strangers on the subway?

    I very often greet people, say polite things, perhaps engage in some light conversation with strangers. It’s quite human to have these social interactions.

    We already have smartphones that everyone is looking at anyway.

    Yes, which is already bad enough. Why make it worse by having them on our faces?

    Before that we had newspapers.

    True, but newspapers didn’t take people out of the environment they were in - it was simply an object within that environment in which people were still fully able to interact with the outside world uninhibited.

    These headsets are designed to remove you from reality, while you are still in it. =

    You are making up an imaginary dystopia to peddle fear for no reason.

    Nah, I just see where corporate interests are trying to move society, and I’m concerned about the negative impacts it will have.

      These headsets are designed to remove you from reality, while you are still in it. How does AR/MR do that? Phones are more about that than AR/MR. Or even newspapers, which very rarely are about the thing you are actively doing and can be used as a physical barrier to separate you from other people. Unlike a pair of glasses…

        Does Apple not know that human beings are not capable of multitasking?

        You are either in the real world or you are in interacting in the virtual one. Even the visual distraction isn’t something that our brains handle all that well.

        People kill enough people while driving simply because they can’t change a radio station while driving. Who expects an augmented reality system to suddenly be easier than that?
