Apple's over-engineered spatial computer

Hugo Barra (a former Head at Oculus) shares his nuanced thoughts on Apple's Vision Pro

It's a superb read if, like me, you're curious about the device (I've yet to try it). 

He rightly notes that the Vision Pro is something of a Northstar for the VR industry now — setting new standards. But also highlights how this first stab at things is very much a devkit of sorts (my rule of never buying a gen 1 Apple product strikes again). The novel positioning of the product, the real lack of focus on traditional VR stuff from Apple, and the "disheartening" software story is also explored.

A really solid, well informed overview of this new 'spatial computer' thing.
