After a closer look at the Apple Vision Pro reviews & talking to people who’ve used it, my prediction of the most likely path is that its evolution resembles the Apple Watch, which went from big, vague promises to a simple health & notifications device. So, a future Vision Air (or whatever) will ditch external eye displays & complexity and mostly be a very large smart display. You can tell any Mac, iPhone, iPad or Apple TV (maybe HomePod!) to extend to this display. That’s the big, basic deal.
@anildash I think the 'just a display' idea is quite interesting. How cheap could you make the system if you just wanted passthrough and some fairly basic 'display something on some flat panels in VR space' functionality?
I know Apple isn't in to cheap, but if you can put a single much lower cost processor in it, and only have enough sensors for passthrough and basic head tracking (no hand tracking at all), perhaps it could be the $700 display that you can use with all your iDevices?
@planettimmy even if it gets to roughly $1300, if it can run apps on its own, it’s very compelling. For the same reason an iPad is.
