  • Vision Pro will turn any surface into a display with touch control

    So where Apple's virtual keyboard for the Vision Pro is not practical for long typing sessions, it could be that a user's desk is turned into a keyboard.  That would still make for a stunted typing experience, as there would be no travel on the keys. But there are already keyboard projectors that use lasers to display a QWERTY layout directly onto a flat surface. 

    I think you COULD have key travel by overlaying a virtual keyboard on a real keyboard.  It wouldn't matter if the keyboard was plugged in or not.  You could type on the real keyboard and the Vision Pro would read the virtual one occupying the same space.
    I won't lie, that seems like it could be an AWESOME alternative.
    But the VisionPro supports physical keyboards. What’s the point of overlaying a VisionPro virtual keyboard onto a physical keyboard over and above just connecting the VisionPro to the keyboard (presumably with Bluetooth)?

  • Apple Vision Pro will let you toss timers all over your kitchen while cooking

    Ain't no way I'm strapping at $3500 headset to my face while I'm working with knives, food and ovens.  Double no way for such a tiny benefit.  Such an obvious no.

    But one thing I noticed in the VP keynote WAS THAT apple is copying HoloLens and just going with Unity,  while capable, Unity is more of a low grade console, web browser, mobile friendly 3D engine. It’s nowhere near Unreal 5 (the new gold standard) or CryEngine anything like that. So hopefully Apple isn’t just not caring about the GPU as much since their creator-case is limited by Unity anyway. That would be very short-sighted. 
    You seem to think there is some sort of exclusivity at play here.  There isn't, Apple just worked with Unity to get tooling ready in advance.  Part of that is probably due to bad feeling towards Epic, but there's nothing to stop Epic building support for the VisionPro into their engine toolkit.

    In fact, whaddya know....
