I'm only a few days in to my AVP and so far I'm loving it (but will love it more when my optical inserts arrive).
One thing that I would like to see, however, is a better way to manage space in spatial computing - in particular, there doesn't seem to be any way to easily create virtual desktops/spaces/etc.
It may sound like a great idea to have Safari floating up to your left, and Mail to your right, and something else front-and-centre, but, in reality, due to the nature of how I work, having to pivot my head (or swivel my whole body) so much isn't comfortable.
In my mind, visionOS would benefit from having something akin to Spaces (the terminology is starting to fail here, I realise) from macOS. I would love a quick gesture that changed all of the visible apps (and their locations in 3D space) with another set of apps.
For example, I would like Mail front and centre, but, only when I'm focussing on email related tasks. I may have a few other apps hovering about, but, Mail should be directly in my vision line of sight.
But when doing web based things, I may want Safari to be front and centre, and Mail nowhere to be seen.
I suspect that this is "in the backlog" for visionOS and won't appear until 3.x or 4.x, but, if someone has a cunning idea on how to emulate/simulate this sort of behaviour, I'd be interested!
I've even gone so far as to ponder the sort of UI experience I wish existed for this - something like the palm of your hand facing upwards, cupped, as if holding a billiard ball or something around that size. Closing your hand into a fist/ball could reduce all of the currently open apps into a sphere, which could have small coloured icons representing the apps within the sphere. Glancing at another sphere, where you've already performed this gesture, would make it glow, open your hand up, woosh, apps from that sphere appear where you wanted them. I'm no UI expert, obviously, but, I really think there's room in visionOS for better application management.
