My opinion on the Apple Vision Pro without really talking about the Apple Vision Pro
<p>Just before the WWDC keynote, I wrote an article about “<a href="https://medium.com/@dirksonguer/understanding-and-assessing-ar-mr-and-vr-headsets-f10e585159a2" rel="noopener">Understanding and assessing AR, MR and VR headsets</a>”. But what if assessing the headset doesn’t make sense to begin with?</p>

<p>The keynote is over, the device is announced, and everybody is talking about it. The criticism that people home in on is: <strong>What is this thing even for</strong>?</p>

<p>“Apple has clearly solved a bunch of big hardware interaction problems with VR headsets, mostly by out-engineering and out-spending everyone else that’s tried. But it has emphatically not really answered the question of what these things are really for yet.”</p>
