Apple Vision Pro brings a new era of spatial computing to business
apple.comIt seems like this blog post is targeting business executives who like to look at pretty visualizations, rather than actual workers. I can't imagine someone in manufacturing/engineering wanting to use a heavy, fragile HMD that (slightly) limits their vision and probably isn't compatible with any PPE. Similar for data workers, 3D viz can be helpful for understanding physical objects (medical imaging, industrial design, etc) but almost always adds friction for understanding any other type of data.
If you thought "CEO needs an interactive dashboard for this doodad report that he will look at once or twice" was bad, now wait for "CEO needs an interactive VR/AR dashboard environment that he will look at once or twice"...
Now you can review KPIs and Status indicators, in 3d - errr I mean "spatially".
I thought the 2nd image was realistic to business. Our clients are VERY into clicking on a point on a map and opening a variety of reports. Viewing multiple reports in space at the same time on a 3d map would bake their ziti.
I'm looking forward to the "Power BI issues" that are caused by someone looking at the wrong part of the screen the wrong way.
Problem Exists Between [K]ornea and Camera
I have a few headsets and I think they're incredible for games.
I can think of no other scenario where you want to be pulled into another world but for it also to be consequence free.
Non gaming applications seem to be a solution in search of a problem.
Unlimited screen real estate with no additional hardware
Aka virtual desktop [1]. Your field of view is not unlimited, I'll take key-based switching over wobbling my head any day.
Why not both?
Why do any of these examples need a VR headset?
Once you've bought a VR headset you need uses for it.
