After a demo, it was apparent that Apple Vision Pro is a leapfrog in capability and execution of XR. Although its not a genuinely new paradigm, it has advantages with 5,000 filed patents over the past few years and an enormous base of talent and capital to work with. The hardware is very good, with 24 million pixels and better optics. It mitigates the two big barriers most people hit with VR - either latency-driven nausea or the isolation that long sessions wearing something over your eyes can deliver. The R1 chip has a system-wide polling rate of 12ms, and there was no judder or framedrops.
