I want a productivity focused device. I want it to run osx. Let me have 5 ide windows and 3 browser windows floating around me, that I can interact with with eye tracking and voice.
The problem is that the angular resolution on any existing set of VR goggles is considerably worse than on existing conventional displays. And that's just to start with
for VR goggles, then you have to "consume" some of that to effectively get clear projections into 3D space of stuff.
Someone a while back posted this article, which was talking specifically about the issues with using the Apple Vision Pro as a monitor replacement. I think that it was a good look into the issues:

If I could get a "monitor replacement" set of VR goggles, something that I could use for as long as I do a monitor with the clarity and angular resolution of a monitor, then I'd do so. But they just aren't there in 2025, and I doubt that they're getting there soon. They're good enough for playing some 3D games for limited periods of time, but that's kind of a limited use case for me.
