I want them to include one more functionality:
- The ability to read through the minds of those sitting across the negotiation table, so that I can beat them in the negotiation.
Wait ... How can I forget that those across the table will also be wearing these, and will be reading my mind?

People, as usual, lack common sense but honestly, as a substitute to my 3 monitor setup at work? I'd at least give it a try if only just for the giant screen space I'd have.. if it was possible to connect to a windows PC with something more than RDP and it would be fantastic if when connected to a Mac it was possible to move the windows in space instead of having just one screen replicated in the room

There were science fiction stories written about this technology 50-60 years ago.
They did not end well for the human race!
The more technology advances, the more I feel like a Luddite!

I feel that. But I do kid myself that it's nothing at all like grandparents not wanting to learn email.

I see zero peripheral vision, and a likely tendency to disregard others. This is dangerous - no situational awareness, and narcissistic-behavior-inducing - nobody matters but me.
No thank you.

That's the part that really got me. As if people don't already ignore each other enough already.
I'm sure pick-pockets & other con artists will be quite happy when everyone is distracted with these in public.

It will suck not being able to see peoples eyes. It's bad enough that I often only see the tops of peoples heads as the stare at their phones.

I haven't watched the video, but I suspect my FTFY is accurate, and everybody else is already saying it (whatever "it" is)...
How far off the target am I?

Video summary:
A very famous youtuber walks through New York city while wearing the Apple Vision Pro.
You really have to watch, because it basically simulates people who are out of their mind and hallucinating another world.
But, of course, since you'll be paying someone for this and the video is basically a commercial, the youtuber says it is the greatest thing ever and everyone will have one in the future.

Excuse me, but that would be an "influencer".

One incorrect gesture, and he'll be out of the road, and possibly ... out of this world, too.

Wait, he's saying they can fly now, too?!

I meant, out of the road, out of the sidewalk; he will drive straight into the woods.

I can see marketing claims and fanboy stuff. Some of things that are not mentioned.
Vision Pro has a 2.5 hour battery.
With a cell/mobile when you stop using it it goes in the pocket or purse.
Claims that it will get smaller, but the tech is now effectively 10 years old and it is still almost the same size.
I wear glasses all the time and I really do not like it. Even more so as I get older.
With glasses rain, snow, cold are certainly a problem.
You want to stop in the park for a pick up game (basket ball, frisbee, whatever) are you going to leave a $3000 small transportable piece of equipment on the edge of the field?
I have damaged/broken glasses in a variety of ways. I have seen other people manage to destroy a cell/mobile on average of once a year. So replacing that is going to be expensive.
Making real entertainment content in 3D is more expensive than other content. But the general consumer does not have an uptick in disposal income to match the production cost. So either they do not buy it at all or they buy fewer titles. I believe the 'not buying it at all' is what most of the market sees now.
For business users waving ones hands in the air all day (versus a keyboard) just does not work. They have already tried solutions like that and no one uses it.

Ford F150 pickups have a "feature" that, if you're backing up and there's something behind you, it will stop the truck.
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
However, the other day, I had road salt build up on the backup camera and it wouldn't let me back up because it couldn't "see".
No matter how smart AI becomes, it will never be as adaptable situationally as the human brain.

Check your truck's settings. My Dodge Durango has something similar but I can explicitly turn off the "backup protection" feature; the off only lasts until the engine is turned off. Since I use it to haul a horse trailer, I need to be able to turn that "help" off when I'm backing up to hook up the trailer
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

Those are all great points!
Thanks for sharing.
You've given me hope that these will not take off.

Very expensive, heavy and doesn't do anything that I need. I like seeing the real world.

I'm tempted to buy one, just so that I can be clapped by the Apple Store Geniuses as I leave the store with a much lighter wallet.
