The Vision Pro Bet, Zuckerberg’s Miscalculation, A New Normal for Headsets

Hello everyone. Happy Monday.

One follow-up to a story from last week.

As pointed out to me by a member, the visionOS VR restriction regarding a 1.5-meter "system boundary," as measured from the initial position of the Vision Pro wearer's head, isn’t that strict considering it’s a radius (i.e. a 10ft x 10ft space). That’s larger than what most would deem acceptable for VR in today's marketplace.

Let's jump unto today's update.


The Vision Pro Bet
