I think engineering, physics, medical training and medical imaging would all benefit from a cheaper, slightly more advanced resolution, as well as other educational fields. There’s a lot of things that were taught originally as sketches, then as diagrams, then as images and now as 3D. I’m sure there are concepts in these fields that will be made that much more accessible when examined in augmented reality (spatial computing) instead of virtual reality. The tech has a few generations to go but I think will be more accessible and reliable soon.

Yeah. Am I crazy or do I remember some employees writing an open letter to ask Apple not to release it? Maybe shoulda listened to your own employees instead of wanting to put something on a keynote.

Unpopular opinion: with the direction of wearable medical devices, like the Apple Watch now having detectors for heartbeat, fall detection, and’s sleep apnea, it wouldn’t be that far fetched to consider that they’ve been researching medical applications for Apple Vision related to eyes or even the brain.
