Id buy it right now if it was maybe $500.

Spatial computing is the future.

I don't need 3 screens. I need a pair of spectacles.

Screens have always been the bottleneck. The phone tablet monitor tv.

Glasses can do entire field of vision.

It doesn't even do spatial computing well. It can simulate a single 4k display and that's it. You can have some other apps floating around you, but not much.

If I could simulate 8 4k displays all around me, or freely float my full blown Mac OS programs and resize them to infinity then I'd be cool with this. But I've got more screen in front of me right now than the vision could ever hope to do. And Apples "apps" are far too gimped to be useful. Notes and email are cool, but not much else.

It uses foveated rendering, so yeah it is effectively close to looking at a hidpi display across your entire field of vision, in a sphere around you. And you can use it effectively as a virtual monitor with a Mac, but you really have to design for the interface for a good experience

Then it's not spatial. Maybe they will bring that to the table.

That's what we need. I agree if it's a downgrade from your Mac.

It's an upgrade from my Thinkpad.

But price is the issue.

Once devs get it. They can improve.
