The Vision Pro I Want
Apple could build the Vision Pro I actually want today: no front screen, no AR, no battery, no wireless. Just a light, comfortable headset that projects my monitor over a Thunderbolt cable. That alone would let them ship the headless, portable computer I'd really pay for.
What is most irksome is that I know Apple could make this here and now if they wanted to; they’ve got all the requisite tech ready and available.
The biggest shortcoming of any beautiful monitor is that you can’t take it with you. If I want peak productivity while I’m traveling, I have to lug my Dell 40in 5k2k with me. 5120x2160 and worth every penny. Serious productivity and even more seriously inconvenient to travel with (I've done so several times).
Enter the Vision Pro I want:
- No silly front screen
- No augmented reality
- No battery
- No wireless (connects to my computer with a Thunderbolt 4 cable)
- I don't even need or want motion tracking / gyroscope / etc.
- Projects a large, high res display as though it was my monitor
- Maybe it could convey audio somehow? That’d just be gravy though.
- Light-weight and comfortable for all-day use
That’s it.
