I’m torn on the promise, and premise, of the Apple Vision Pro.

I meet with others for spiritual direction via Zoom a handful of times every week – I would have thought it a barrier, but it offers a better sense of connection than I would have expected.

To use something like Vision Pro for a more immersive experience of a one on one meeting seems appealing. But to be represented by some digitized version of myself, or see someone else that way… that’s not appealing at all.

I suppose a future solution might be an actual capture of someone’s face with the goggles digitally removed, but that still feels too impersonal and inauthentic.

But if I could use them someday to sit in my cozy reading chair while coding with multiple large app windows floating before me? That’s appealing.
