Apple Vision Pro: A Watershed Moment for Personal Computing

To reiterate, it doesn't appear to be intended for wearing while out and about, but for use where using a laptop is already accepted: at home, in an office, in an airplane, at Starbucks, and so forth.

You are 100% correct, but many people do not follow the "rules". People will try to use the Vision Pro in public places. Yes, that will not be wise (or the "intended use") but people will still try to do that.

You only need to look at airtags to see how people are not using it for its intended use.

If by „people“ you mean attention-monetizing youtube scoundrels, you are 100% correct. I can see the stupid „thumbnails“ already …

Gawd, I feel the need to almost apologize for an attempt of humor, lol.

A very interesting and thoughtful article from Federico on Macstories about his hands-on demo of the Vision Pro.

The problem with people like this is that they are fully in the apple eco system.

Most people arent so for them this wouldnt be such a game changer as what they can do with it becomes more limited.

So let them — what’s the problem? If that bothers you, then prepare to be very bothered — I anticipate these being seen in public a lot more than most expect.

Sorry about that. Looking back at your post, I should have picked up on that. My bad.
Time to cut back on caffeine...

I expect the controls will be most strictly applied when you are in VR mode... where you are blind... you don't want people running into walls etc. As you increase the transparency to the real world, there is less need for that. You don't want drivers having their peripheral vision restricted at all... and they won't be allowed legally for drivers. However as a passenger there are questions about use... because going full VR mode with no transparency - you are basically starting to make it much more likely you would get motion sickness (the motion and the vision don't sync). That said, I doubt you will see the same restrictions of use ... in that you will be able to walk with it on, you will likely be able to be a passenger on a bus and use it... and likely that of a car... however if it senses you are behind the wheel of the car - I expect Apple will smartly disable it (LIDaR/ML)
