I'm fascinated by the idea of #VisionPro with an external Bluetooth keyboard as a laptop replacement.

Can it be made to work? I have no idea. Can hand gestures be precise enough to do pixel-level work? Maybe?

But assume they can. The ergonomics of looking straight ahead with optimal light/brightness/contrast, vs being crouched down, hurting your cervical spine every minute, working on a too-small screen, which I see in far too many trains and coffee shops, could be huge.

@J12t You could use a Bluetooth keyboard with an integrated trackpad.

@rauschma It's not obvious to me how a mouse or trackpad would map into 3D space even if the 3D space is mostly used to hold a 2D window.

@J12t The trackpad would only be useful for one use case: Using the Vision Pro to show you a large computer display. For all interactions that don’t happen on that display, you’d use the hand gestures.

Apple mentioned that you can use the mouse and keyboard of a Mac when showing its display in the Vision Pro world. It would be like that.
