Tim Cook claims he uses every Apple product, every day. Does that include the VisionPro? It is certainly true that Nilay Patel's observation that when you take off the VisionPro & look around at...
So, while it's not a use case for building a billion dollar business around, I am definitely all the way here for the "virtually-visually search for the book I want, which is not the book I think I want but is instead a book catalogued near to it on the virtual shelves" feature. But what's the cataloguing algorithm? I could use it right now.
Could be, but hasn't been. MaOS went a little bit into hooking into human spatial memlry—meory palaces, etc. But lots more could be done, both with objects and with people...
Thinking about this more, a virtual library shelf, while possible, might be more difficult than it seems. First, you'd have to have someone, (or maybe AI) photograph the spine of every book in the world. You might need to photograph the cover too, in case the reader wants to judge a book by its cover. You'd need AI to adjust the photos so that they're all around the same scale on the shelf. However, if all you had was photos of the books, and not content, you could probably qualify for "fair use" under copyright law. You'd also have to decide on a numbering system. And then AI would have to arrange the books on the shelf in the right order. And this would have to be done continuously since new books are constantly being published. So it would be difficult and expensive. But it could be done.
Well hello sci-fi. I've hear they're fun. I'll wait till I need glasses though. I suppose they could tune to people's anomalous eyesight. Then, just mount a camera on the outside and I'd never have to take them off! @brain chips

Library of Congress letters and numbers ain't bad. If I were Berkeley University Librarian, I would be trying to build such a thing... -B.
I would think this virtual library shelf could be displayed on a normal computer screen. If you see something interesting you could request it IRL.

Any blue light problems?
