> Another app that was shown was a Birds Eye view of a basketball game

Is there anything specific to the Vision Pro in that feature? Couldn’t they just offer that as something that you could choose to watch on TV?

A TV wouldn’t be apt at creating a 3D-ish AR viewing experience. It also doesn’t have the controls to navigate such a scene easily. What I’m looking for is like a holographic 3D display of the game on my table top.

When you watch live TV, you watch what one person decides you should be watching.

With eye and head tracking in the headset, you can watch what you want to watch during live events and eventually in interactive motion pictures/motion environments.

  • Literally no one wants to do that. That's why it's someone's job to do this.

    This is just like how grocery stores have made us all become cashiers.

    I'm not doing that, it's work, and I'm not going to do work.

  • This is already a reality with esports and yet most people prefer to watch someone else drive the camera. Someone who is really good at doing that and who can "predict the future" to never miss a key moment (aka, the broadcast is on a slight delay).

    I don't see any reason live sports would be different here, do you? It'd be cool but it hardly seems "revolutionary", more like something you do once or twice for the novelty before going back to just not doing that.
