Developer Willem Middelkoop revealed that he uses Apple’s Vision Pro augmented reality headset for work to explore what spatial computing might be like.

He notes that vision control in VisionOS is implemented perfectly, so you can get used to it quite quickly.

Middelkoop connected a standard Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad to the Vision Pro to type blindly. He noted that the headset, in fact, replaced his PC, since his Vision Pro version has 1 TB of built-in memory.

According to the developer, the mixing of the digital and real world is realized in the headset comfortably, and the user does not feel “locked inside the computer”.

This works well for certain workflows, such as sending emails, searching for information, or making calls.

Middelkoop also says the headset helps you dive deeper into context (images, logs, code, mockups) and filter out any visual clutter from the real world.

“I like to walk around the windows, look at some code or server output and kind of feel like it’s a big, working machine. In a way, it feels like standing in a large engine room. It really doesn’t look like a regular desktop computer,” he concluded.

Earlier, another developer showed how he set up a workspace with Vision Pro.

Meanwhile, an ArsTechnica journalist tested the capabilities of Vision Pro on the streets of Chicago. He also appreciated other people’s reactions.
