But for how much longer? I can really see the benefit of having "more space" when working on a computer.
We're peeking through needle holes, small screens mostly covered by bars and menues. If we're lucky the context we need for our task fits on two large screens.
I believe this strains our working memory more than we understand. Making us do thing slower, worse and with more effort.
VR has the potential to unlock much more "space" that we can navigate in a way that is much more natural to us.
Not sure if the tech is up to the task today or if it will be in 10 years. But the value proposition is clear.
My main concern is about collaboration. Specifically, a fear with Apple lockin. When you pair program you can just sit down at either computer. Will we have an open protocol to share screens (or specific apps in screens like modern screenshare does)? Will is be semi-open like the current MMS system where Apple makes you look at a potato? My concern is about how these can be used to further isolate ourselves and break our fundamental social structure. But part of that will be how we use them, along with the decisions these companies make. I just hope Apple doesn't lock everyone in, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Also, I’m not an office worker but I would imagine working with speech to text around everyone else using speech to text would be a hellish and annoying scenario. Work from home alleviates that.
It reads that a lot of the control of visionOS is speech based as well and Apple should be smart enough to know if it doesn’t work well the entire product will flop and Tim Apple’s entire legacy will likely be over.
That's less horizontal resolution than a 4K monitor (3840x2160) stretched across your entire field of view.
