I’m generally bullish on new interfaces to computing technology. The benefits aren’t always easy to perceive until you’ve had a chance to start using it.
If this can sit on my head and allow me to type or do calculations while I’m working in the lab, that would be very convenient. Currently, I have to put gloves on and off to use my phone, and office space with my laptop is a 6-minute round trip from the lab.
I can see an application that combines voice-to-text and AI in a way that makes it feel like you always have a ChatGPT virtual assistant sitting on your shoulder as you do everyday tasks.
Looks like a huge upgrade for watching movies, playing video games, and possibly also for video conferencing.
Could potentially be useful for delivering exposure therapy.
I’m curious about using the device for business tasks that involve 3D modeling. I could see this being useful or not useful for doing surgery and other physical healthcare applications. I’d certainly prefer to access telehealth via this device than on my iPhone.
I can see this being a truly groundbreaking way to explore the world for business or pleasure—imagine being able to wander the streets of Paris, tour a college campus, or attend an open house.
I anticipate next-level 3D mapping of environments will be the next big push, to enable these walking tours, and I imagine this might be enabled by drones?
I think this is much worse for the social isolation impact of technology than the iPhone. I can put my iPhone down easily to hold a conversation. This will be inconvenient to take off, cover half the face, and I’ll never be sure what the other person is doing in their headset while I’m talking to them. I laughed out loud when the demo video tried to convince me it won’t be an isolating experience to talk to somebody wearing one of these things.
To what extent will eyestrain become a problem?
I am not looking forward to Apple’s closed software environment. I’m anticipating a lot of the business utility will be undercut by interoperability issues.

Sure, but an audio-only interface can be done with an iPhone and some Airpods; no need for a new interface.
Thoughts on Apple Vision Pro:
The price point is inaccessibly high.

That’s true! However, I would feel weird and disruptive trying to ask ChatGPT questions when working alongside coworkers in the lab.
