Apple's new Vision Pro is 'the future of the Mac', one of the top minds in tech says
Stratechery founder Ben Thompson, a noted technology analyst, believes that Apple's new AR/VR headset is not just a new computing platform in its own right, but might also be a valuable accessory to the company's desktop computers. is Apple's much-anticipated foray into augmented and virtual reality — headset-based or"spacial computing," as the company is referring to it.
This effectively creates unlimited real estate and frees users from the limitations of the typical 13-inch or 15-inch display found on a MacBook. Though the Vision Pro is designed to be used with hand-based gestures, wearers can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse when they want to mirror their desktop. The way Thompson sees it, Apple's idea that the iPad would be a device for productivity never quite panned out because of the constrained nature of the operating system.
. That was a similar sentiment that surrounded that Apple Watch when it launched — Apple was throwing spaghetti at the wall, packing it with a slew of features and hoping it would land on something people would want. The Vision Pro is launching with a slew of unsurprising features, but Thompson doesn't think people should sleep on the headset's ability to mirror a desktop computer.
