Vision Pro could show Boeing assembly line workers where to put the bolts.

ߘ栴oo soon

Arguably, too late.

Or too early.

One of my engineering buddies worked for Boeing years ago, and they were using primitive googles, or a basic LED display, connected to a portable CD drive, for their maintenance workers, so that they didn't have to carry a stack of maintenance manuals with them. 

Boeing's problem is that they aren't run by engineers anymore, with headquarters in Chicago, and Boeing shipped the commercial aviation assembly jobs to South Carolina, where the labor is cheap, but cut corners on proper management, I'd have to assume that their military oriented facilities in St. Louis, MO, and Renton, WA are better, but who knows.

"The battery is rated at 3166 mAh capacity with 35.9 Wh. That means adding an additional 10,000 mAh battery should extend battery life to about 12 hours." This is totally incorrect. Most standard powerbanks like Anker are based on 3.6v. The vision pro is at 13v. It's the total watt hrs that people need to focus on. That said a standard 10000mah power bank at 3.6v is 36Wh, but there is inefficiency battery to battery that results in some loss, so don't expect to get double the time.

Any chance this allows for connecting other USB accessories (like Apple dongles or a USB key?)
 Has any developer tried that out?

We have, and nothing works.

Is it usb2 hardware?

It's the frequency, not the duty cycle that's important.  Many Modern LED lights flicker at 100Hz or 120Hz depending on where you are in the world.  TV Screens flicker somewhere between 25Hz and 240Hz, depending on what you are watching and the specific TV.   

Video games have warnings because they may have content that includes explosions.  These explosions may included flashes of light that are turning on/off 7 to 10 times per second (that's 7Hz to 10Hz).

My understanding is that the Apple Vision Pro has a refresh (flicker) rate of at least 90Hz.  That's not typically an issue

That is interesting.  Many of us can get Migraine Auras from too many sparkly lights or too much blue light.  I think of these Auras as an epilepsy like cascade failure that’s confined to the visual cortex.  You just have to get yourself to a dark quiet place and chill and it resolves.  No headache and on a good day just 20-30minutes.  You do loose partial vision and if you ignore it bad things start to happen. Hopefully someone is thinking about that too.
