Every large tech company does one or two things extremely well and prints money from them and then has a hundred other efforts that range from terrible to middling. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon...they are all the same in this regard. When was the last time any of them truly innovated?


Waymo.


Apple Vision Pro.


So late to the VR headset market they thought they needed to stick googly eyes on it... dunno maybe I'm missing something?


It instantly changed how I work. Seems like a lasting change.

I sit on my couch with a MacBook Air (very couch friendly) developing with many screens of relevant info arranged around me.

A mundane but profound benefit of “spatial computing” is no longer having visual information limited to the “keyholes” of hardware screens.

Apple seems to get that the Vision Pro wants to be a Mac replacement, not an iPad replacement.

Counterintuitively, the stereo 3D is the secondary benefit. Albeit a natural and significant one.

Everything in Vision works with both see-pinch and track/mouse click.

Hoping see-pinch comes to Mac screen in Vision, or simply Mac becomes redundant.


>dunno maybe I'm missing something?

Yeah, vision.


Metaverse?
