OK, all the upbeat Vision Pro articles have one theme in common: "Like the original iPod or iPhone, you will first ridicule it, then realize you can't compete with it, then put one [in your pocket]."

Which... is reasonable, I guess? But it does ignore two quite significant elephants in the room:

1. No, I will not put that on my face, nor accept anyone in my proximity to do so without [social] repercussions (see: Google Glass)

2. No, it does not do anything I actually want. My 4K, soon 5K, soon 8K monitor displays my movies, code, or whatever, just fine, and the fact that I can get custom overlays or whatever, while making me nauseous, just isn't that appealing? (see: anything Oculus/Meta, Microsoft, HTC, etc. have achieved so far: some subset of fans will lap their product up, but broad marketplace acceptance is... nowhere to be found?)

It's quite possible that VR/AR will take over the world at some point, but right now, it more seems like 3D TV/cinema: a supply-side fad that lacks consumer acceptance.
