Devs find that Vision Pro can’t do true room-scale VR, but that’s no surprise

"visionOS pulls users out of immersive VR when they move more than 1.5 meters away from the virtual environment's origin point, saying that Apple has thus 'crippled VR' and made it so the platform is only for 'couch potatoes.'"

"When you start a fully immersive experience, visionOS defines a system boundary that extends 1.5 meters from the initial position of the person’s head. If their head moves outside of that zone, the system automatically stops the immersive experience and turns on the external video again. This feature is an assistant to help prevent someone from colliding with objects."

There are too many videos online of people in VR masks breaking things in their environment, so this feature seems prudent, even if it is limiting to developers.

It would be nice if there were an override setting that users could turn on if they have a safe environment or others nearby watching them for safety ("spotters").

Sometimes Apple's nanny behavior is annoying and intrusive. My old iPhone used to have settings built-in that would only allow large apps to update over WiFi. This was annoying because sometimes I would be traveling through rural areas with little to no WiFi, and could not update those apps despite having an unlimited data plan.
