Reminder that virtually (!) everything about the Vision Pro has been in the works for *years*. In 2019, I put the puzzle pieces together about Apple's AR dreams. wired.com/story/apple-ar-gla…

The formatting is completely borked, but going back to @mat's great 2014 story about Buzzfeed (and Circa and First Look) shows you what an eerie-ass time capsule tech optimisim can be. wired.com/2014/12/new-media-…
