It’s too early to definitively say Apple Vision Pro is the future of work, but its initial proposition of unlimited project windows, rapid user interface navigation, and wide software support all suggest it can be a productivity machine.

Instead ofintroducing its Vision Pro headset by touting new games or fitness classes, it did so with a heavy dose of multitasking and emphasis on how we work.
It’s definitely easier for the company to justify a $3,500 headset if the product can assist in people’s work-related projects. Even if using it for Disney+ content and sporting events will be more intriguing.
But let’s forget the price for a minute. During the product introduction, three of the 10 individual apps appearing on the „Home View“ were very productivity driven: Notes, Freeform, and Keynote.
Arguably, the Mail app, Safari, and Messages could also be heavily used for work-related tasks. Leaving only Music, Mindfulness, Photos, and TV as the other first apps people saw when Vision Pro was shown to the world.
For better or worse, Apple decided to lead with the proportion of spatial computing as a new way to work. After hands-on demos of Vision Pro, nearly everyone has corroborated Apple’s performance claims. If people are intrigued, rather than nauseated, by spatial computing, then it has a real chance to attract workers.
Let’s look at how Apple’s Reality Pro could alter the ways we work going forward by creating a new workspace paradigm and bringing people closer than ever. If it can do those things then the Vision Pro is certainly a logical next step in the way a lot of people work.
A new workspace
Apple’s first argument for spatial computing work is an „infinite canvas.“ It’s not only being able to have a big screen for your Mac, having gobs of windows, or even navigating them quickly, it’s all of these things combined.
Using your entire surroundings to place apps could make ambitious people ultra-productive. Take on as many windows and virtual screens as your brain can handle.
Instead of needing to bounce back and forth between Notes, Safari, Messages, and a presentation, you could have all of those things up at the same time, surrounding you.
