I enjoyed demoing my friend's Vision Pro but I regularly found myself displeased with the gesture controls. Once the novelty of interacting with the demo features wore off, I found myself thinking that the device was best suited as a monitor replacement. To that end, I would absolutely need to use a mouse and keyboard.
I also wonder if Apple's decision to eschew any special pointing or peripheral device in favor of hand tracking was the best idea. If I owned one of these things and used it for casual internet browsing, I would much prefer some little handheld accessory so I could press buttons without having to gesticulate and make sure my posture was correct so that the cameras could pick up my hand movements.
- snapcaster 2y agoYep my daily use for this is just using it as a mac os x external display
- LordKeren 2y agoGenuinely asking — do you work outside an office a lot and/or travel with it?
- snapcaster 2y agoDon't work outside a lot, but do travel with it. If you mean travel while wearing it no, because the fact that it's a video camera makes me uneasy about it possibly shutting off at any moment and rendering me blind + the low battery life. I have worked out in my office gym wearing it and that was nice
- nottorp 2y agoMinority Report style UIs look good in movies. Use them 8 hours per day every day and they're just tiring.
- BitwiseFool 2y agoI noticed two things very quickly, my arms started getting tired and I was never quite sure if I was holding my hands in the right place to have my gestures get picked up properly.
