If we're defining it that way, then spatial computing is the killer app. The best eye tracking, use your own hands requires no controllers, passthrough resolution good enough to wear for hours. Even AVP detractors do not deny any of these features. The only complaints I've heard about are price, battery life, weight/comfort and lack of software. Just like iPhone, all of those issues will be addressed in future gens.Killer App meaning the core usage or value of the product, not downloadable app from the app store

The killer app of the iphone was the touch interface perfected vs smartphones of the era
Yes it does but it's a niche category called best spatial computing ecosystem on the market.
I think mostly it needs a purpose.
The return rate was reported to be less than 1%.
Thinking the US is the highest developed nation in the world but stating many people can’t even eat…
It redefined the category SO well, that the competition quickly adopted some of its most praised interface elements. What the Quest is able to do in just the last few releases, they had the ability to do over he last few years, but somehow only found the courage to make those recent changes after Apple vision has been seen by the world.
When the leader of the competition is defining your project as what they are aspiring for, just a more open version of it, you know you’ve hit the ball out of the park.Nothing. That's why it is considered a new category. Since it's not selling well right now, no one else is claiming to be part of the category. But watch what happens when Apple reduces size and cost while introducing a few killer apps. It will sell a few million and you'll see Meta and others jump on the spatial computing bandwagon.
I'm really talking about the category, not elements that define it. My point is that Apple has defined spatial computing but no one uses that term because it's not selling well right now. Once it begins to sell in the millions, Meta will suddenly say that they've been doing spatial computing all along.It redefined the category SO well, that the competition quickly adopted some of its most praised interface elements.

and, just like Apple defined the cell phone as rectangular glass and metal slab, I think there will be more than just a few companies copying the broad design of the Apple Vision Pro as well.
Maybe at least consider doing the demo. I really enjoyed it
The developers of spatial computing type apps for the Quest are using that term because it loads the users mind with what to expect which, by and large, is based on the vision that only a few hundred thousand have had actual experience with, but has lit imaginations worldwide. Meta may never use it, but, as an idea, it encapsulates a lot of things that Meta has only just started to work on after seeing Apple Vision Pro.
Why are people "disagreeing" with this. It's a statement, from me, about what I'll do. 🤣
Really? There are people with hands that now have limited functionality due to current computing. There are folks that MUST compute in special chairs with a special desk setup just to do their jobs. The bar is actually pretty low for how bad AVP has to be in order to be 100% worse than what people are experiencing now.
