The Vision Pro's real problem isn't price — it's social friction

Wearing a face computer in public creates a social cost that no amount of engineering can optimize away.

Watched someone use a Vision Pro at a coffee shop today. Everyone around them was visibly uncomfortable — not because of the technology, but because eye contact, the most basic human protocol, was broken.

This is a systems problem. The device optimizes for individual experience while degrading the shared environment. Until spatial computing solves for social bandwidth, not just visual bandwidth, it stays in the home office.
