Meta's chief technology officer has all but confirmed reports that the company is abandoning its plan to take on the Apple Vision Pro with a similarly powerful device.

"We move forward with some, we pass on others," he continued. "Decisions like this happen all the time, and stories based on chatter about one individual decision will never give the real picture."

Apple Vision Pro: Productivity Hack or Gimmick? Review by Intel
Vision Pro will live or die on Apple’s own words: ‘spatial computer’ (9to5mac)
It’s early days. I believe Apple is committed to the Vision platform for the long haul. But its success will depend on whether the company achieves its initial goal: creating a true computer.
If ‘spatial computing’ is a gimmick, the Vision Pro will fail.
But if it’s the future, then I hope that future doesn’t take too long to arrive.
Apple Vision Pro review: six month stasis (Appleinsider)
I found it tough to write about Apple Vision Pro this time around simply because it doesn't feel like a lot has changed in the past six months. visionOS 2 and Spatial Personas stand out, but the overall use case of this device hasn't changed a bit.
Apple Vision Pro review: time for Apple to step up and set an example
It is still hard to recommend anyone buy Apple Vision Pro unless they have the extra cash and curiosity. Today, there aren't that many things you can do with the product that isn't already possible, and easier on other platforms like writing text or viewing media.

The most exciting update in visionOS 2? To me, it was the ability to open a mac virtual display in an immersive space. For example, I'm now able to watch The Matrix on my mac, in the matrix environment, without having to create a movie player for MagicRoomApp
Apple #VisionPro + Xbox controller. I built this prototype #AR app for the iPhone a few months ago and now I finally ported it to the Apple Vision Pro. I had to change a few things (ARKit > Reality Kit) but most of the code remained the same.
I created an app that allows you to instantly view 3D models created with Blender on Apple Vision Pro! It's fun to be able to see the 3D model in space right away while you're creating it
