I use it as a fancy monitor that I can strap to my face and fits in a suitcase. sometimes I want to work lying down and it's great for that. It being based on ipados makes it kinda useless aside from the display.

How do you type when lying down?

Could have been a typo.

Not the OP but you can do it with a split keyboard

Not OP, but I type while lying down in bed. I don't have the AVP, but I do have xreal Air AR glasses that basically mirror my macbook pro's screen. I rest my Apple keyboard across my crotch/upper thighs, wherever my arms are most comfortable. To my right (on the bed) is my Apple Trackpad. It's kind of a hastle to move my hand from keyboard to trackpad, but I can drive almost all functions on my computer through the keyboard, so it's only used as a last resort. I also have airpods in my ears because the laptop is closed and on the floor.

I do this when my sciatica pain is preventing me from sitting and I'm tired of standing at my desk. I can work lying down for up to a couple of hours and find the position to be highly comfortable and productive.
