What's going to be amazing (when it works) is dragging photos or files between these windows and having it "just work". Copying and pasting between phone and computer is still one of the best demonstrations of technology working correctly together. No messing around just copy and paste.

I don't think you can use the Mac laptop screen while projecting it in VP, at least not right away. Watch the video, the laptop screen blacks out. I would be also skeptical that looking at a huge projected Mac screen then squinting through the AVP to see the real laptop screen would be a good experience. I hope though, AVP can give you multiple virtual Mac screens in extended desktop mode. but while in a hotel room or on a plane, I will be happy with one huge virtual screen for now!
How self involved are you? I, I, I, I. Great, it doesn't work for YOU. Congrats!!! You clearly have never had to work on a plane or in hotel rooms with NO EXTERNAL MONITORS.
The only thing appearing stupid here is YOU because you literally can't imagine anyone doing anything differently than you in your your tiny little world.
I got goosebumps.
Chances are very good they wanted to capture authentic reactions and it's a mix of: 1. complete surprise, 2. prompts to prepare the user, and 3. do-overs.

For now because technology limits where the work can be done - like you may need a table to support a screen. No reason why this cannot change and literally be anywhere.
it looks like it the video sections, its actually called "Sidecar", so exactly how I am using my iPad as a second display now with my Mac on the road (which freezes ALOT when not connected to the Mac with a USB cable). Are you saying you think you can have this screen in the AVP AND use AVP apps along side? If so, a bit janky but doable
We have known that you can since June. "While you can only push one display from your Mac, you can mix-and-match it with visionOS apps. So the practical way to achieve the equivalent of multiple Mac monitors will be to use your virtual Mac display for your power apps – Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and so on – while creating separate visionOS panes for things like Safari, Mail, Notes, Maps, and so on. In that way, you’ll get something that is the next best thing to multiple Mac displays, and practically indistinguishable in use."
No or she wouldn’t have suggested the viewer to go to an Apple Store to try out Vision Pro.
cool, thanks for the clarification...but then how would the input work? using the laptop keyboard and track pad for Mac window, but what if you want to type on an AVP app like Mail?
Watched the video and wasn’t impressed. Looks like it will be poor for working as scaling will be limited along with needing a keyboard/mouse. To me it’s clear this is just a media consumption device no matter what you want it to be.
The real issue is, putting this thing on is a commitment. You don’t just pick this up to watch a quick video or check email, you grab the phone that’s most likely next to you ALL the time. This thing will sit on the charger until you mess with it for 30min then your head hurts and back it goes. Cool tech but not good enough for the price.

How about those of use that need to look at the keyboard to type? I can type 80 words per minute but since i learned to type from the High School Football Coach I don't use any of the proper techniques. So if I were to use the VP as an extension of my Mac I would surmise that I would constantly need to look down at my keyboard, then back up into the VP, then back down to my Mac, etc. At that point I would think it would be more useful to use, well, my Mac.
Came here to echo the bad acting of Mr. First Time User.
He's equal parts stupid and faux-enthusiastic (or rather the writing for the "character" was) and its just completely off-putting. For a company that puts so much in controlling its image I'm surprised this passed muster.

Can someone please tell me where this product falls? Is it an iPad replacement a Mac replacement, is the primary use to see videos and pictures in a more immersive environment. I see this as a novelty item at this point. I mean who’s going to wear a headset for 8 hours a day for work related duties? The VR novelty gets stale quickly. If this would have been a $750 or $1000 items for what it does, a for sure buy for me. For $3500 I’d rather purchase a MacBook and iPad Pro.
In a few years, not now. Presumably this tech will get better and better.
So ... Apple must be working on a special Vision-version of MLB Friday Night broadcasts, right? Watch a game as if you're behind home plate or by the dugout like a bat boy? Seems like a no brainer. Now how does Apple get the NBA, NFL and NHL to do the same?
They literally copied some of their elements from Meta like that little bar under the „dock“ to move windows and the corner thingies to expand the size
100% agree.
Makes me wonder what some people do for actual work?
Safari, Mail and… they're good to go. Apparently.
Yes!
That is what I am waiting for as well.
Show me this AVP is a tool that will make my working experience better and I'll be all over it when it gets released in the UK.
But don't try to sell me a USD4,000 iPad with a lot of hand waving and finger pinching woooooo.
Now now, breathe!
No need to get insulting.
Just be happy with your new AVP.
Enjoy!
I wonder how long until they nerf it because some people feel nauseous like they did with AirPods Pro 1.
Looks really good, naturally no point on comparing to PSVR2 or other full VR dive devices which are not AR like this.
Hope Sony will finally give 3d movies into 2gen of PSVR after this move from Apple
Awaits for not paid reviews and mora effect discovery if present and how Apple made it handling properly gestures
