> Where would a robot arm with an iPad on the end be a better solution than Vision Pro?

On my kitchen counter, where I currently have an iPad Pro that is stationary and I wish nearly every day it would follow me as I move about the kitchen whilst cooking.

I’ve seen demos of people using the Vision Pro while cooking. It seems better. Timers could be places in space about the pots on the stove, the user can interact with recipes or whatever when their hands are dirty, and they probably wouldn’t tear up while cutting onions.

A robot arms will only move so much, I don’t see it being able to follow someone around a kitchen.

I have a Vision Pro, and have tried it in the kitchen. It's too cumbersome and too visually distorting.

Speaking for myself, I don't need something that follows me all over the kitchen, just something that adjusts to my movements in a somewhat confined space. Center Stage already does this fairly well when FaceTiming.
