Why the upcoming Vision Pro doesn’t thrill me as much as Apple smart glasses

And it's not all about the looks

Apple’s Vision Pro was intended to be the future of wearable technology, but it hasn’t lived up to expectations. The exorbitant price and large design make it more of a luxury item than a necessity.

Sure, it has fantastic displays and fascinating tracking functions, but when the first enthusiasm wears off, most users will return to their MacBooks or iPads.

That is why the rumored Apple smart glasses are far more appealing to me. Or, at least, if Mark Gurman’s assertion that Apple is now developing a version of visionOS for AR smart glasses comes to fruition.

Yes, they’re probably still a few years away, but they’d be far more useful. Smart glasses, unlike the Vision Pro, may be worn in everyday situations and provide real-time information without the need to strap a screen to your face.

Battery life is another issue. The Vision Pro’s battery lasts approximately two hours, whereas smart glasses can last all day. Besides, who came up with the notion of permanently attaching a battery to the goggles via a cable in your pocket?

It brings back memories of the days before MagSafe, when every accidental pull on the cord sent a MacBook flying to the opposite end of the room.

Samsung’s Project Moohan headset can at least detach from its original battery and utilize a different USB-C power bank, but I’m still not a fan of this arrangement.

The Vision Pro’s main disadvantage is its isolation. It’s fantastic for viewing movies, but there aren’t enough helpful social or work-related capabilities to entice people away from their laptops or computers.

Smart glasses, on the other hand, can display instructions, notifications, and useful overlays while still keeping you connected to the outside world. Furthermore, navigating apps on the Vision Pro feels cumbersome, whereas smart glasses could provide a more natural, glance-based interface.

Apple’s foray into spatial computing is interesting, but the Vision Pro feels like a stepping stone rather than the ultimate aim. Smart glasses, on the other hand, have the potential to be the true game changer because they are lightweight, convenient, and easily integrated into daily life.

We may have to wait a few years, but Apple’s smart glasses might make quite a statement when they arrive.
