How could full body tracking work based on cameras in the headset? What if you have a big belly or boobs, or you tilt your head back? It wouldn’t be able to see your legs.
It would not be perfect, but assuming you are not very very obese, when it comes to things like kicking normally - you would see your feet appear and from that you could extrapolate actions... you also have things like the LiDAR and motion senses that can detect your movement around and also extrapolate that you are walking. It is also a computer, so the first time you bend forward or move around it can build a model of your body to match reality.
 
So then I imagine it will be a no go purchase for most people who wear glasses.
Why would glasses make a difference? For sure there are some people who have very large glasses frames that would make it uncomfortable. And some people who need really thick magnifying glasses, may lose some of their peripheral viewing. But I see no reason why having glasses would preclude people from using a VR headset. For people who are long sighted (not able to see things close up very clearly), a normal Office style prescription lens would rectify that. Short sighted people would not generally need to wear them.
 
For better and seamless interaction...

Apple needs to consider making Apple Vision Pro Motion Controller.

Why?

Have you seen how well their gesture control works?

They can pick up the movement of each individual joint of each hand separately and allow programmers to react to subtle movements. A fingerspelling to speech and speech to fingerspelling app should be possible. The onlymissing piece right now is living streaming to a 2D display.

The frames won't fit. You need special lenses custom-made for the device, which slip into the device, if you wear glasses.

Have you seen how well Siri works? If they can’t get speech right, what makes you think they get gesture control right? It’s great in theory.

Trouble is when it comes to VR/AR, less than perfect can feel terrible, and this would necessarily be far less than perfect. It would have no idea if your feet were pointing inward or outward or left or right, for example, or if you were bending your knees. It would have to make inferences based on movement of your head, which might be right 80% of the time, but that's not good enough for VR.
 
This is the same blog that claimed many executives at Apple were distancing themselves from Vision Pro prior to the announcement? Do people actually pay to read this garbage? If you’re into garbage, there are plenty of free options.
