    Would you call Google glass or hololense a VR machine? No you wouldn’t. Apple fits right in there with them

      Glass was just a heads-up display in the corner of vision, nothing like any sort of vr/ar/xr system. I don’t know why you would consider that comparable to any of the headsets. Hololens and Magic Leap were augmented reality, but by not using camera passthrough they were limited filed-of view and could not do opacity. Quest 3 is much more similar to the Vision Pro in terms of what it can do (aside from the outer display). For instance, it’s possible to place large browser windows around your room, and replace your monitor with a larger virtual version.

      Glass were glasses with a small HUD.

      Vision Pro are goggles with a full opaque display and video passthrough. Like a Vive or Oculus device. Just higher quality passthrough.

      It’s a VR headset.
