I got the Apple Vision Pro with the hope to tinker with such things. Is one more dimension enough to "unlock" visual programming? I don't know, and unfortunately not many seem interested in exploring it.

I don't think extra dimensions help. Even simple functions have easily tens of interconnected references and representing these spatially is gonna be a mess even in higher dimensions.

I personally wont ever be interested in VR until it has "generic computing" as a major feature.

like automatically creating a 3d world showing pipes as your internet connections, some kind of switches and buttons and things as every single thing you can do with your computer including complicated ass command line and GUI windows.

And all the tools necessary to reduce or increase the complexity of it as I see fit as a user
