Deep dives
The Vision Pro and its Potential as a Gaming Device
Despite its immersiveness and impressive features, the Vision Pro could face challenges as a gaming device due to the lack of two hand controllers. In order to compete with established gaming platforms, Apple would need to release its own first-party gaming hand controllers or developers for games may be hesitant to come on board. The success of the device could be heavily influenced by its gaming capabilities, as gaming is a core part of virtual reality and augmented reality experiences. Without resolving the gaming situation, the Vision Pro may struggle to attract a wider audience.
