Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not (www.theverge.com)

The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

Spatial window arrangements essentially makes an entire 360 space of a room the monitor. You don't need many views at that point.

So you're talking about placing app windows everywhere? Then you're limited to placing apple's available apps for the device everywhere around you aren't you? Which doesn't sound like what you want. I'm taking your 3 monitors comment to mean you're not running 3 monitors worth of mobile apps (because that would be wild if you were!). The 360 degree desktop setup here is going to be more like 360 degrees of ipad apps seems like. Maybe a windows remote desktop sort of app with multiple instances/windows all around you? Multiple safari instances all connected to some sort of web based remote desktop? I too want "spatial computing" to be more platform agnostic and want to be able to just paste applications or desktops on blank walls or floating in space.
