You're looking at reality with half of the colors your eyes can see, a reality with a limited field of view, a reality which looks much worse as the surroundings become darker. Nothing I've seen is impressive. I'm impressed by the lack of things more than what this thing actually offers.

Yeah, but that's our reality we know and love.

Why not just get a few projectors or more screens if you want digital environments?

That could just be an initial limitation of technology, though. The Apple Vision "spatial computing" line could move to glasses eventually.

That said, I think the "you're looking at a digital reconstruction of the world" aspect pretty interesting since it means, in principle, everything can be changed as you'd like. Why not turn day to night, night to day, redecorate, block out ads on billboards, re-paint your house, hang paintings, add an extra window to your wall, etc?

To completely reproduce the reality you need to be able to manipulate the phase of light of individual pixels. Basically, make a dynamic hologram.

Without that, you'll be looking at an artificially "crisp" version of the world.

It's clear from the commercials I saw that AR is Apple's vision. How long the hardware takes to match that vision is an open question.

I've defined this elsewhere in the comments. Please provide a common definition that aligns with yours
