It's almost been a year since Vision Pro was first announced and a few weeks since they came out. I've been pleasantly surprised that I haven't seen everyone rushing to buy it. Clearly VR/AR is a thing, but how much of a thing it will be has yet to be seen. I wrote a bit on the topic: https://thenewurbanorder.substack.com/p/reality-is-a-privilege
The Vison Pro suffers from the problem that it's basically just a different way to do everything you already do with Apple products...and it's expensive...and it separates you from the environment to a great degree. I suspect Brilliant's Frames and Meta's Ray-Bans (or the non-glasses alternatives) are more of what takes off by enabling us to do new things or do old things more easily.
Something else I'm seeing is that not all AR is equivalent. Things end on a sliding scale of how grounded in the physical world we are when using a product and I think something that's 80/20 in favor of the real world is what wins out.
