This is a thread for throwing around app ideas for the Vision Pro. App ideas you have or would like to see.
Personally, I'm trying to think of apps that almost anyone could use with no external equipment (or at least optional), and that aren't necessarily "obvious" or built-in uses of the technology.
For example I'm not including things like live cave or underwater exploration which would certainly be a great use, but would require specialized equipment to facilitate. Nor am I including things like flight sims, VR gaming (done to death already), or vanilla conferencing.
But if you want to contribute those kinds of app ideas, feel free. Here are some that come to mind for me.
Historical Reconstruction
• View a AR/VR recreation of an object/street/structure, adjustable between an overlay on top of the existing view and a full VR view
Archaeological
• Pit/Trench Camera for reconstructing a dig
• Live photogrammetry & 3D modeling
Zoological encounters
• View and interact with a variety of existing or extinct animals (similar to Apple's butterfly & dinosaur encounters)
Realty & Architecture
• VR property tours
• Design and explore structures
• Re-imagine an existing home or workspace with live changes including moved furniture and changing the flooring, paint, or other features
Wardrobe
• Visualize and walk around yourself to see how you'd look with different clothing, shoes, glasses, jewelry and haircuts
Physique, Fitness, Physical Therapy
• Visualize yourself from all angles with desired weight or muscle gain/loss
• Perform bodyscans throughout a fitness process and see the progress you've made
• See how an exercise is properly performed from any angle, watch an expert (or have an expert watch you) to refine technique
• Posture analyisis & correction
• Preview a hike, walk or run to familiarize yourself with the area before taking it
• Forelimb mobility assessment & analysis
Tourism
• Preview hotels, beaches, parks, historical sites, etc to plan a perfect trip ahead of time
• Enhanced tours (museum, gallery, etc) with interactive content and object look-up
Education
• Virtually attend any lecture from anywhere, anytime in an immersive classroom experience
• Explore scientific concepts in full detail and from all angles from cellular structure to physiology
• Practice public speaking in an interactive environment
• Learn foreign languages in a more natural way, practicing and interacting in an immersive environment and real life situations
Sports
• Swing analysis (tennis, golf, etc)
• Practice movement patterns
• Martial arts & self-defense practice
Training
• Sales training with real scenarios
• Customer service training with real scenarios
• Safety training with a hands-on experience in a virtual environment
• Product assembly & troubleshooting training
Engineering
• CAD Prototyping & Analysis
• Design assembly and cross-sectioning diagrams with full range of motion and rotation
Business
• Multi-dimensional workflow & networking diagramming
