I do think we'll see a fitness related product in the future but holy crap the early adopters trying it out should be super careful! It might be easy to forget that your eyes are completely covered with a screen.
Imagine riding a bike at 30kmph and accidentally unplugging the headset. Boom. Black. Instantly. That's a scary place to find yourself.
I'm curious if Apple will utilize the gyroscope to try and detect movement faster than a certain speed and show a warning. Take the risk if you want, but at least people should be aware of the consequences!
Hah yeah that'd be less than ideal.

The Vision Pro is doing SLAM at all times so it actually always knows exactly where you are (relative to its origin) and your speed!
How does it work on busses/planes/boats? Are the screens locked to the cabin? Or the horizon? Or do they just fly all over the place like Quest?
Locked to the cabin but I've never tried it personally. It has a lot more advanced tracking than the Quest!
If you wear this thing in traffic you have a deathwish, and if you hit someone else while wearing it in traffic I hope you'll be sued into poverty to the point where you never ever will be able to buy another one.
I do think a bunch of incremental improvements will eventually allow different use cases though. E.g. you'd never take it on a run or a bike ride in its current state but with enough weight and battery improvements you could have a HUD for exercise stats + navigation when biking with stuff like a videogame-esque ghost of your PR to race against. Just a random idea, there's a lot of stuff you can dream up.
