I have been editing Insta360 videos on muy mac and I have learned that I want to see everything at the same time. I do not want to have to turn my head in VR goggles. Nor do I want to have to scroll around. I want to see in all directions in the same field of view.

I know that in the short time that I have been editing the videos, I can easily adapt to the Dragonfly full 360 degree field of view. And it is amazing. … I can say this because I also drive Rideshare, and when not driving rideshare, I have mounted the Insta360 to the top of my car shooting 360 degree video.

This is what happens when I am editing on a screen that is big enough, that I can also get close enough to to see exceptional detail relatively speaking, I can see cars coming up behind me, cars coming into the intersection to fast, I can see the airplanes and helicopters above. I can locate the police cars and emergency vehicles visually before I actually hear them. I can see speeders coming up fast behind me long before I would notice them in any rear view mirror. I can do all of this while watching the road in front of me. The botom line is that I can see everything, and identify threats.

There have been tests long ago, where people wore glasses with prisms that inverted normal eyesight. After a very short time, the tested peoples brains adapted, and they saw the inverted images in the same way that they were used to seeing reality, without the glasses.

That is the augmented reality I want. I want expanded vision. I do not want to see through a little window.
