Some thoughts on Apple’s new Vision Pro

I’m surprised the FaceTime avatar isn’t your Memoji. I’m assuming it’ll be an option, but the 3D digital face thing has some room to improve.
The hardware they’ve put into this thing is amazing! The screens, the cameras, the eye tracking, the M2 and R1 chips, just 🤯
When I saw the R1 I immediately thought car.
I think Eye Sight (the outward facing screen showing the wearer’s eyes) is really well done and a key component to making this something you can wear and still interact with other people.

Now some questions

How does multitasking work? Can I have unlimited windows floating around me? Can they all be running and performing tasks? I doubt it, so how does the OS determine what apps should be active and which get suspended?
Can I pin apps around my house? Like can I have a calendar pinned to my fridge? A TV+ window in the family room? An email client and web browser pinned above my desk in the office?

I think special computing is going to be the next thing. I don’t know how long it’ll take to get here, but I feel like this right here is the beginning.
