Apple's Vision Pro: A Leap into Spatial Computing or Another 3D Misstep?

Despite its promise of 'spatial computing', Apple's upcoming Vision Pro is essentially an augmented reality device, a technology that has seen mixed success in the tech industry.

Apple's Vision Pro, a device promising 'spatial computing', is set to launch after pre-orders opened in early January.
The Vision Pro is Apple's first product to be explicitly dependent on real-time 3D graphics, marking a new direction for the company.
Despite Apple's marketing, the Vision Pro is essentially an augmented reality device, a technology that has been explored and developed by other companies, such as Microsoft with its HoloLens.
Apple's history with 3D technology is marked by indifference and failed products, raising questions about the Vision Pro's potential success.
Apple's launch partner for the Vision Pro, Unity, is currently struggling, having recently laid off 25 percent of its workforce.
