YouTube is probably one of the parts of the internet I consume the most, so I was more than a little sad when YouTube announced that they don’t have plans to build a visionOS app, and disabled the option to load the iPad app. This leaves you with Safari, and the website is okay, but definitely doesn’t feel like a visionOS app. Couple that with visionOS not having the option to add websites to your Home Screen, and YouTube isn’t that convenient on visionOS by default.
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.
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.
Preparation for the future. If you want an actual VR device get an oculus

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.
