Mild essay incoming. TLDR: Cool, Scary, Great Potential and Long Distance Relationships just got a whole lot comfier.
When I heard Apple were making augmented reality the first time I was hoping for a refined Google Glass.
Something that augmented normal vision with my notifications, todo list (like a video game mission list), arrows on the floor in front of me telling me which way to go and the track I'm listening to those kind of basic things.
The Vision Pro is interesting within the first few minutes I can see it being applied to sports, picture taking 50 free kicks with the ghosts/shadows of the shots being displayed so you can see on average where you are shooting, how frequently you apply too much top spin etc. This could be applied to a number of sports however I'm sure it would be a lot of fun to create something that could truly improve the way athletes learn and practice.
You could create onboarding for teams working with new equipment with directions and top tips built into the user interface directly in front of the learners eyes (I think this might have been what Google Glass actually ended up being used for in Warehouses and things, so that pickers could drop off goods in the right locations).
The classic VR desk setup, seems to have had huge clean up and overhaul. Almost seems usable now.
The Apple Pencil would be a wonderfully awesome accessory for this technology, imagine pulling up Pixelmator Pro and painting directly on the table in front of you, or manoeuvring the UI your building with the Pencil rather than a trackpad.
The eyesight feature definitely screams dystopian future where everyones heads are strapped into a VR headset from birth and the only time you can see people is through the lenses of your fancy eye screens.
The 100ft wide screen feature would make for some amazing sci-fi video games, you could captain a space ship like Picard in Star Trek, with the full ship diagnostics, a navigation ui, ship controls and all of your crew members stats and what they are up to, with the planet you are orbiting while awaiting permission to land encompassing the background. A true sci-fi strategy experience with as much realistic detail and cinematic space views as possible.
It also has the major plus of looking way comfier than every other VR solution on the market.
