Wearers look silly, which matters since AR users can always look in the mirror or at each other! Unlike VR devices, Augmented Reality HMD’s offer users a face-to-face social experience, after all.Īny device solely attached by a headband will become uncomfortable over time.Īnd don’t get me started on the separate wired battery pack!Īll in all, Microsoft will be heaving a sigh of relief tonight. Which is where the AR applications I generally work on are designed to operate. I can’t visualise people having serious discussions wearing these in the workplace for extended periods as a tool for the execution of daily tasks. Which leaves the openings in the corporate market. Fine for home consumer use in private for games and leisure use, but the starting price point is arguably too high for the mass market to pick this up in big numbers. The Vision Pro more closely resembles a ‘traditional’ Virtual Reality Head Mounted Display or a ski mask than a pair of glasses.


However I am unimpressed by the clunky form factor! I can’t wait to get hold of the new Vision Pro for a proper evaluation.
