This article is misinformation. Many reviews said it is in fact very intuitive as you only need to look at things and do small finger movements that feel natural. The eye tracking is incredibly precise.

If it's anything like using a touchscreen computer this will give you gorilla arm. Hopefully flat surfaces or physical keyboards are allowed.

You are welcome to your opinion. I doubt anyone following ANY threads about VPro is confused about your take own on it. Mission accomplished!
No. Just ..... no.
For $4K I can have a whole lot of real-world fun...
Bingo.
“This replaces a home theater!”
Man, I could put together a KILLER home theater with 3.5k and still have money left over to buy some movies and popcorn.
And the unrealistic fanboys are having their say too. We all win.
I guess this makes sense.
I just can't imagine this replacing my Macbook entirely. I mean, 2 hour battery time versus ~7 hours on my MBP. iPadOS-like system vs full-blown macOS with proper windows and multitasking (no, stage manager on the iPad is not the same experience). And I can't imagine having glasses 6 hours in the office with co-workers would be more comfortable than sitting with the screens behind the table where the human interaction is seamless - you can simply talk face to face.
But that's just me. Maybe for some workflows it works better.
Doesn't this product cannibalize a whole bunch of other Apple products?
Like, would you even need to wear an AW with the Googles (oops, goggles)?
Looking at your AW with the goggles, would it unlock invisible complications? Don't the goggles give you all the info that your AW, iPh, iPa, etc give you?
Strange times are upon us.

We need real world reports. Reviewers can be and often are highly biased towards Apple products. We won’t know much about the actual performance of the device until some of us own one.
Completely defeating the supposed purpose.
Yeah, I will go to the Apple Store as my twin brother, use his name. He doesn't have as much to lose as I do.

Yes, but THIS "home theater" can go anywhere you go. As we saw in the demo, the long plane ride can wash away the plane so an owner can watch their virtual theater there... or on the train... or in the hotel. It is very challenging for the "road warrior" to bring along the whole home theater. Checking the big screen alone is a ma$$ive ta$k.
One can pretty much do anything we do now on iDevices on a Mac... or anything on any Apple tech on a cheap PC. And yet we pay up for those other devices... even very similar ones like iPhone and iPads. Why? Because a little more of something can motivate some spend.
It's not even a full keyboard? All the "real estate" in the world and one has to use iPhone-like typing and modifier keys for everything else? Hunt and peck in mid-air will be interesting to watch.
Yeah, just what we need. Blind dorks flailing their limbs around on a crowded aircraft. Good one.
Well, that’s not accurate at all.
The cool part is you can actually use your iPad or iPhone through the device via passthrough cameras. And according to the keynote, that's supposed to be something you can do.
I wish the price would come down to around $1500, I would buy one in a heartbeat. But $3500? Eeek that will be a tough pill to swallow.
Time for you to get pulled over and have your license taken away.
If I am going to be working on that crazy thing, I would be pairing a bluetooth keyboard.
I find it funny how the keynote mentions MS Office, but does not mention Apple's own iWork apps. I wonder if they are pretty much ceding that to Microsoft....again...
Looking at a screen through another screen. Again, what could possibly go wrong??
It would be emulating you watching TV on the floating display in front of your face, but picking up the iPhone to respond to a text real quick.

Haha! If you mean me, I'm no fanboy. I'm as critical of Apple shenanigans as anyone able to be an objective centrist around here. There's plenty of posts by me that are negative toward Apple doing what appears to be overly-money-driven stuff at us consumer's expense.
That's the apparent difference between you and me. You are extreme negative about this product... through my lens, I think MAX extreme negative about this... more than anyone I think I've read around here. I simply LEAN positive... a bit more so now that it is no longer entirely vapor though "OUCH!" on the price being even higher than originally rumored... and that's "starting at..."
While I see my much desired primary use well demonstrated and it looks like it can do it easily... I'm still awaiting both real reviews- not "friends of Apple reviews" by iJustine, etc- and then my own demo in person so I can see if it is as implied by impressive marketing demos.
I may yet flip towards your side of this coin. But I'm neither extreme positive nor extreme negative. I simply LEAN positive based on what is known and how it apparently matches up with a key want I have myself.

Never said it was a good idea, just said it was promoted in the Apple promo videos
.Would you be happy with a quick vibrate of the entire headset? How about a laser giving a quick tickle of your retina? Are those the kind of things you want? Love to hear your suggestions of how to implement haptic feedback. You wouldn't have brought it up without thinking about how to do it, correct?
