One? But but... I use multiple monitors... what kind of pros are they targeting it at?

> Companies could offer these as a return to office incentive

... along with a self driving car so you can wear your headset on the 2 hour commute? :)

>multiple monitors

so do I, haven't looked too deeply into Apple Vision honestly. My post was just conjecture on the most viable use case short term. there was an HN thread discussing it, seems like it would come down to how well Apple can do eye tracking to dynamically give higher resolution where you are looking - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37037563

for me it just comes down to being an ergonomic improvement over my laptop alone while traveling. If it can do that, I'd buy one and write it off as a business expense

I have multiple monitors at home, but when I’m traveling, I’m stuck with my laptop. Could be a huge upgrade.

You realize that you can turn your head in the virtual space to see another virtual monitor?

Mac Virtual Display to VisionOS only supports a single monitor.

Plenty of pros to my surprise operate with a single display, by choice.

Apple “pro” stuff has meant “pro-sumer” for awhile now - nice stuff, for some, but nothing to do with “professionals” per se.
