There are three primary archetypes for visionOS usage that I can see:

  1. On a couch, consuming media/movie watching
  2. At a desk, with physical keyboard and mouse/trackpad
  3. Wandering around your house, using the virtual keyboard

Where do your apps fit in? Have you identified a different niche that makes sense for you?

(I have, of course, seen the fun 'painting a picture at the park’ videos of the Quest 3, but that's probably not a normal use case 😛)

I could also imagine a variant of 2 on long train journeys/flights.

It might make working in those spaces more viable. (The tray table could accommodate input devices perhaps better than a whole laptop.)

If we were to successfully displace more flights with longer train journeys it could be useful.

Just because I imagine it doesn’t mean it’ll happen, mind.

@stroughtonsmith I just can’t imagine sitting around with that thing on my head for any length of time. I have all the Apple stuff, but have no interest in this. Working with that on? 🤮

@stroughtonsmith a variation on option 2, I’m hoping that one day, after my van is converted, I’ll be able to sit or stand in my small space but feel like I’m at my desk with multiple large displays.

@wplate @stroughtonsmith I was wondering if/how will work in VisionOS. Could be super useful in the field.

@stroughtonsmith I have a similar mental model for use cases. My hope is that Widgetsmith fits into the second case where you set up a virtual workspace and occupy it for a while, using a variety of apps concurrently. And so putting little bits of information or personalization all around you could be nice. It will be very interesting to discover if that’s right or if the actual use cases are wildly different than I can imagine.
