I've generally really been enjoying the Apple Vision Pro so far. I've been using VR headsets since the early prototypes, and Apple's first-gen is quite impressive. Most of the complaints I've heard are just typical VR technology nuances (such as glare) that we can only hope to get better as the technology evolves.
My overall goal of AVP is to have it be a workable environment to work and be productive in, from just about anywhere. I only see this being possible with a mirrored mac, keyboard and mouse. I've never been one to be productive on iOS alone, and visionOS might have the same crippling problem. I do really enjoy not being confined to a defined space though. I can easily roam around scattering windows and apps everywhere.
That said, I've started to come up with some of my "wishlist" items for the OS and the headset.

- Being able to make windows smaller. I've dialed them down to the smallest allowed, but they are still generally too big. I suppose with a larger physical space I could put them "further away" but that's not really a solution. I suppose this is mostly for eye tracking control, but if I have a keyboard/mouse, I'd prefer them to be much smaller.
- Multiple virtual Mac monitors. Probably just a bandwidth issue. Maybe?
- Having some sort of home menu hand gesture would be nice. Having to reach up to open the menu when a simple gesture would work is kinda annoying.
- Being able to turn off hand visibility in immersive environments would be nice. It's distracting when you are just trying to watch a movie in the throne room.
- Wireless charging for the battery pack would be have been nice. Not all that effective, but when I put down the headset it would be nice to also simply put the battery on a pad to have it trickle up a bit.
- Although I personally haven't experienced it much, the front display seems too dim. Most people seeing my eyes always say it's just too dim. But... tradeoff would be battery, probably.
- I'm sure it's coming but the ability to reorder apps. Guess they ran out of time for that one.
- The pass-through is quite good. Easily the best I've used. But it still seems to be at a lower resolution than the cameras judging by the spatial videos you can record. Maybe they can optimize it further so higher resolution can be passed through. Maybe it really is a hardware limitation for this generation though.
