Vision Pro
"Leading enterprise companies have been investing in Vision Pro, and Apple is seeing it used for things like aircraft engine maintenance, real-time collaboration for racing, and immersive kitchen design. Cook said that Apple "couldn't be more excited about the spatial computing opportunity in enterprise."
They are there to enable hand tracking. But if you don't want hand tracking, then I suppose you don't need them.LiDAR Scanner (for what purpose?)
It’s not just hand tracking, it’s constantly mapping and remapping the space you’re in. You can only do that to a point with regular cameras.They are there to enable hand tracking. But if you don't want hand tracking, then I suppose you don't need them.
I do see your point that adding hand tracking makes the device much more complicated and expensive. But no hand tracking means we have to use some other form of input device -- mouse, keyboard, control pad -- to interact with it. If I need a mouse and keyboard, I'd rather go sit at my desk. Without hand tracking, I don't think I'd be as interested in a monitor I wear on my head.
Isn’t it used for collision avoidance as well? And for mapping the room for AR stuff? Surely it works in a similar vein the quest 3 but perhaps even more advanced given the price tag!They are there to enable hand tracking. But if you don't want hand tracking, then I suppose you don't need them.

Target it to people who want privacy with their monitors and people who live in small spaces who can't physically have large monitors. Sell it for $999.99 and I think it'll fly off the shelves.
How you drew that conclusion from the post from @JustAnExpat is going to be a mystery to everyoneYeah man instead of demanding that everyone should have affordable housing and a comfortable amount of space so that they can have a large screen and a bed, we really need to make sure ultra rich shareholders and landlords squeeze people into matchbox size homes and force them to buy ski goggles.
Yeah no solutions just exacerbate the problems. Megalord capitalism number wan.
It's also a rather American thing to assume everyone can have large enough rooms to accommodate multiple oversized monitors, if only wealth was distributed more equitably. Many countries don't have enough habitable landmass for that, even if the space was evenly distributed among every citizen.How you drew that conclusion from the post from @JustAnExpat is going to be a mystery to everyone
My advice would be to start traveling the world, and living in other countries, especially places like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Thailand, etc., as a local - if possible. It would be a very eye opening experience for you.Yeah man instead of demanding that everyone should have affordable housing and a comfortable amount of space so that they can have a large screen and a bed, we really need to make sure ultra rich shareholders and landlords squeeze people into matchbox size homes and force them to buy ski goggles
Heck, there are even places in the US where that’s the case. NYC comes immediately to mind, the city itself is literally three islands (well, two islands and the westernmost quarter of a third) and a peninsula.It's also a rather American thing to assume everyone can have large enough rooms to accommodate multiple oversized monitors, if only wealth was distributed more equitably.

Medical applications have been the only genuinely revolutionary use of the AVP that I've seen so far. Maybe they'll make a ton of money with this in the medical industry. This isn't the first time this has been used for surgery.
If I was a fan of AVP, this video would really worry me. Apple does not do niche industries or work for businesses. Then again though, I did read on Daring Fireballs (I think that's the site) that Sharp was only able to make 800K of the lenses, so only 400K AVP can be made. If supply and demand is true, increase the price as high as possible to sell 400K of them.

It’s not niche, like I said it’s beginning, and Apple isn’t even selling in other countries. I see AVP as a headphones for vision with a built in computer. I personally could use a AVP on the road as productivity and entertainment device.If I was a fan of AVP, this video would really worry me. Apple does not do niche industries or work for businesses.

It may not be "niche" in that the potential is there for many applications, but we just haven't seen them yet.It’s not niche, like I said it’s beginning, and Apple isn’t even selling in other countries.

This application does not need most of the AVP features. There is nothing VR, AR or spatial computing about it. In this case, AVP is used as a screen attached to your face. It serves the purpose, but a way simpler device with high resolution would do just fine. In fact, just a big monitor would probably work just fine.
