Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about building a warehouse management app for the new Vision Pro. But I have some concerns and would love to get some of your opinions or feedback:

Comfort for Extended Use: How does Vision Pro fare for all-day use? Is it comfortable without causing fatigue or nausea? This is crucial in a warehouse scenario.
Movement: Is Vision Pro built for scenarios with plenty of movement, or is it more of a stationary device? Warehousing involves a lot of moving around.
Visual Accuracy: Are the passthrough visuals accurate enough for precise tasks like opening boxes and handling items? This would be a make-or-break feature for a warehouse app. Since we use a lot of visual feedback from our eye to make fine adjustments to our movement, I imagine that the passthrough has to be quite good to not be clumsy when manipulating the real physical world.

These are just some things on my mind. I’d really appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this. If any Apple folks are out there, your input would be super valuable too.

Thanks in advance!

As someone who has designed similar apps for Microsoft HoloLens and Meta Quest Pro and will likely be trying to port to Vision Pro:

I am far more concerned with "we can't access camera or sensor data within third-party apps". After all, it's not especially useful for setting spatial anchors, guides, outlines, passive stock scanning, active item select verification, etc. when you aren't allowed to use the cameras.

I'm an executive at an existing cloud-based WMS company and had the exact same thought when I first saw these announced. I'd love to help you in this project - I think it would be extremely useful in a warehouse setting and one of those things that could revolutionize the entire supply chain. I think it's viable given a hurdle to the obstacle that Tyson presented. I would love to connect with you if you're open to it.
