Why Orion Doesn't Mean Apple Vision Pro Was A Mistake (www.uploadvr.com)

By the time AR glasses with the field of view of Orion ship to consumers, passthrough headsets will be sleek, light, and powerful, with passthrough quality that may rival transparent optics, and virtual object quality that far exceeds them.

To put it simply: incredible mixed reality headsets will arrive before acceptable AR glasses. […]

The future is AR glasses, yes. But it's mixed reality headsets too. And unlike AR glasses, mixed reality headsets are here right now, and both the hardware and software is getting better every year.

For the ecosystem something like Quest 3 that a substantial number of people can actually afford would probably help way more. For feedback they probably do usability testing etc. anyway.

While I do appreciate that Apple threw their hat in the ring and found some of their designs very interesting to look at I am overall fairly puzzled when it comes to the question of what exactly did releasing AVP achieve.

I’m sure there’s feedback to be gained by actually releasing something, but I bet they’d like more people to actually use it. But yeah, it doesn’t look like there’s tons of apps being developed for it. They do keep reiterating how many companies are using it. Curious what their next version will look like.
