 "subtitle": "Spatial computing tested for real work — not demos, not games, but actual productivity.",
 "summary": "Apple calls it spatial computing. The question Willem asked: can you actually work in it? Not watch movies, not play games — write code, answer emails, manage projects. The answer is more nuanced than Apple's marketing suggests.",

 "text": "Apple Vision Pro puts virtual screens in your physical space. You can have a browser floating to your left, a text editor in front of you, and a terminal to your right — all at any size, arranged around your room.\nFor focused writing and coding, it's surprisingly effective. The isolation — no phone buzzing, no colleague walking by, no second monitor tempting you with email — creates a deep focus environment.\nBut the weight on your face limits sessions to about 90 minutes. Text rendering, while good, isn't as sharp as a 5K display. And the virtual keyboard is unusable — you need a physical keyboard paired via Bluetooth.\nThe verdict: Vision Pro is a fascinating glimpse of where computing is going, but it's not replacing your monitor in 2024. The technology needs to be lighter, sharper, and cheaper before it becomes a daily work tool.\nFrom Willem's writing on Apple and its ecosystem.",
