Apple Vision Pro

Apple's "Vision Pro" - the AR headset just announced an hour ago - looks fantastic, but misses a lot of potential.

Tim Cook reads his mail, so fwiw I just sent this (framing-oriented) suggestion:

Fantastic job. But you’ve missed half the potential.

You’ve contrived fantastic things to look AT, but ignored the background - the looking “from”.

AVR tech maps audio/video of current-room locale. Save that data so when I’m in a hotel, I can feel like if I’m using the platform from my couch back home. Or from the mountain cabin on my last vacation. Or any other setting where I previously used AVR and mapped that data.

Sure, such environments could be foregrounded. “Capture and relive memories”. But I don’t want to look AT my living room from a Best Western; I want to do work, check email, and watch movies FROM my living room (aurally/optically). Background! AVP could let me return to anywhere I’ve previously used it, so I an work/play from a familiar, transportive, and/or nostalgic vantage point.

The value grows geometrically over time. 5, 10, 20 years into this platform, I’ll enjoy an expanding funnel of mapped background data to call up, so I can “hang out” in - not LOOK at, like a photo, but actually exist within - cherished inaccessible locales. Obviously, keeping/managing this stored data (plus creating fresh vantage point “experiences” for users) would be a “Service”.
