Since people are summarizing, his insight is nothing deep. It's basically experiencing glimps of what anyone who played cyberpunk or imagine cyberpunk eyemod computing is suppose to be.
I enjoyed him using the device outdoors, which I thought more reviewers would have shown. Reviewers kept imagine AVP for work on an airplane, but it was interesting seeing apple TV window that was openned when subway was stopped at station float away as train starts moving, presumably anchored at wrong point due to too much windows. Like how well would AVP work in a car? As passenger... as driver. That's illegal right? But some folks will do it since eyetracking and hand gestures seem workable while driving.
There's a Travel mode that you need to enable in the control center. When enabled, it keeps your windows anchored to your view, when disabled, they're anchored to a place in the physical world, so you can move around them.
Based on an AI-based Youtube Summarizer tool "the thing no one will say" seems to be "He recounts an experience where they forgot they were wearing the glasses and began to see the digital images as part of the real world. He argues this technology is more than just augmented reality or virtual reality, but something that could redefine how we interact with computers and digital media."
If nothing else, gorgeous youtube video: Makes the point, brilliantly edited, funny, actually illustrates what the reviewer sees. Best Apple Vision Pro review I've seen. Bravo.
Casey is right about the seamlessness of the experience. If you loved iPad kids you’re going to love Vision kids! When these cost $100 dollars and are as easy to wear as glasses or contact lenses, what will the purpose of the smartphone, laptop or desktop computer be?
Give it time. ENIAC cost millions of dollars and took up a whole hall. 70 years later the processors we're using to post these comments cost 5-6 orders of magnitude less to produce 5-6 orders of magnitude more computations.
I think its s few more than 5-6 orders of magnitude on computations, ENIAC was slower than UNIVAC I, and this chart has UNIVAC I about 8+ orders of magnitude behind the listed recent desktop processors.
Actually, the comparison seems close on nominal (I was thinking real) price and compute if you are talking about mobile device processors.
The point is stated around 8:00 in to the video. But if that sounds interesting, I think it is worth watching the earlier part of the video with examples.
For me it was the link between everyone glued to their phones while wandering about in the real world, vs having a headset that does the gluing for you. I can sort of get it now, however pass through (the other way) has to be much better.
(as an aside, props to HN for the duplicate submission UX - you just get taken to the previously existing post)
If this is truly the future of computing that everyone’s been promising, I’m out. Glad some of you folks are having fun with it or whatever, but this is just dumping gas on the fire of permanently distracted society.
