I'm really excited for the release of the Apple Vision Pro since this seems like a major shift in how we might be interacting with computers in the future.
On the mundane things, I'd like to be able to browse the web and read articles and books while walking my dog, without craning my neck down or being oblivious to my surroundings.
However, I've had a couple ideas where the tech might go or unexpected use-cases.
- HUD and computer interface while driving with an emphasis on voice control and navigation. This would be far superior to touchscreen center consoles. If apple ever launches a car, I would expect the Vision to be the primary interface.
- Changing the "time of day" of the environment, like a sunrise alarm clock on steroids for helping those on night shift with nonstandard circadian rhythm.
- Altering your appearance perceived by others. Could be as subtle as wardrobe changes, presenting as a different gender, or a persona that's not human (like a fursona).
What other cool use cases can you think of, in a world where you can seamlessly manipulate the visual and auditory world around you?
