Please help me understand the point of the Vision Pro? It’s not VR. And every app and screenshot I’m seeing looks like “let’s throw this window, that you could normally have on your desktop or TV in your field of view”. Are there any mechanisms to have it interact with your surrounding in an AR type manner? Or does it just overlay flat windows on top of what you’re seeing?

Preparation for the future. If you want an actual VR device get an oculus

That’s it, I don’t. I want AR, but just throwing up a random flat window in my field of view without interacting with the environment is not AR. It’s just your monitor with a dynamic background.

It's going to take time for meaningful AR apps to exist, because this is the first device even capable of testing it in a functional manner on.

But ARKit is already out there and extremely capable on iPhone. The Vision Pro will be able to do way more than the phone due to the field of view and freeing your hands.

This isn't even technically AR. It's all VR.

Mixed Reality is what this is called

“Spatial Computing” is what this is called. insert SpongeBob meme

Sure it is.

Applications are obviously limited without developers having one, but the tooling is all there to interact with and modify your perception of objects in the real world. ARKit is already reasonably well tested with mobile. It's just more/better input and output.

The fact that the real world is passed as a low latency display doesn't make it not AR.
