The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

    I don’t think this is gong to be a success. I feel like the tech is a solution without a problem. I think the only sensible application is niche, enthusiast gaming, and valve is already pretty established there.

      The lack of proper VR controllers excludes AppleVR from any meaningful gaming anyway.

      I have a Valve Index and the Vision Pro seems like a downgrade in many ways, at least for gaming. It doesn’t even have controllers, so almost all games won’t even be possible to play.
