Apologies if this seemed like a criticism of what you said, it was more a general reflection on the two camps that seem to have galvanised in some of the earlier threads after the announcement.
There one of the trends was "you nay-sayers have no clue because no one has been able to use this device properly. You're commenting without knowing anything. Anyway, here's all the reasons why it's a paradigm shift that will take over the market and make everything else obsolete." Which is equally premature.
This, I agree, was not your point and I shouldn't have addressed it to you.
I do agree with the above and I'm curious as to where the tech will be going. As a broader point, I do think that not everything that has potential eventually succeeds. There is a very real possibility that the technology gap is too massive for the moment to overcome and to create a product that people want to adopt. That's not a reflection on the potential of AR/VR per se, sometimes it's just the way it is.
I found the Verge's piece on Springboard very interesting in this regard, or even the Newton. Tech that was way ahead of its time and paved the way for something that now seems inevitable, but as products were massive flips because it was just impossible to put this into a form that people actually wanted to use (or could afford).
I thought the VisionOS demo was impressive, but to me this product feels like a Newton more than an iPhone. The use cases aren't yet quite there and (potentially) difficult to enjoy with the hardware that can actually be made at the moment. I agree they have to start somewhere though.
