Top take-aways from the Vision Pro announcement:
- It's early days, the real innovation is going to be once it's out and people can figure out what AR native experiences are.
- Staying connected to your local environment and people is really a big deal to comfort and helps a lot for social acceptance, it's already hard enough to not take shit all the time from non-tech obsessed friends/family who think you look like you are snorkling inside when doing VR at home.
- Being very integrated with the existing ecosystem and paradigms is the way to go, even if you want to feel like they haven't pushed spatial enough in their UX, compatibility with 2D is hugely important to being useful
- Their hardware has more innovation in it than all other products they have combined
- The lenticular pass through eyes are pretty cool, we'll see if it's worth it or works well
- I was really surprised that they came out with realistic avatars, was expecting some more like animojis, but realistic (if it actually works) is definitely going to be more mainstream initially
- I actually think the mundane things like cooler tv watching environments/movie-theatre quality is amazing. Was years ago on Oculus, but is WAY better when done in AR
- I'm now bored of typing, leaving it at that.
