I mean the actual AR experience, every other headset i've used is so janky and can't persist objects enough to actually immerse you. AVP windows I've actually attempted to avoid while walking because my brain forgets they aren't real after a little bit



Maybe my confusion was you wrote VR/AR instead of just AR.

Though even then, while visually the Vision Pro does better then the Quest 3 at AR, the interactions leave a lot to be desired. AR (and VR) make me want to reach out and touch things. But when I tried, instead of letting me interact by touching it required me to "stare and hold eyes perfectly still and then tap fingers somewhere not on the thing I actually wanted to interact with"

Like if an app window is close enough to touch then I just want to touch it like a giant floating touch screen. Not "stare and tap pants".


Yeah my bad the VR is good but the AR is what feels like best in class. agreed on your point there is some support for that (was doing development and some example apps let you interact with "real world" objects like you're describing) but i don't know why they didn't just use that as the dominant paradigm. Maybe was seen as too janky or difficult for non techies
