> But damn, based on how well it all works now, you can just tell by the 4th or 5th generation, Apple Vision Pro will be on the face of every frequent flyer.

A 4th or 5th generation Apple Vision Pro (and other corresponding advancements) may obviate the need for a lot of travel.

Will it let me feel the breeze at the top of Half Dome?

Or have me chase a squirrel around after it stole my snacks?

Or have me feel the pride of accomplishing a long hike that I trained for?

Or let me talk with interesting people along the route and hear about their travels?

Or help me find an incredible pizza restaurant with concepts that aren't in my local suburban area?

Or give me the health benefits of hiking outdoors?

I'm not sure how a headset could ever obviate the desire for travel

Certain types of travel will always exist. But traveling for work? That's an entire idea I can get behind avoiding.

Why can't you avoid it now? Just open zoom. No need for gen 5 avp.

And yet everyone who has ever worked with an offshore team knows that nothing beats time spent in the same room. I don’t expect VR to change that.

Well when you account for the time spent travelling, the time spent socializing and shmoozing, the boxed lunch hour, etc, that adds up to a whole lot of wasted time on top of what could have easily been a 45 min zoom meeting, or an email. Its fun I guess if you get all your social outlet from your coworkers, but if you get it from anywhere else it probably feels like you just got drafted when you get sent to meet the distributed team in person.

You are missing the point here. Plenty of things can’t be a 45 minutes meeting. Sometime what you incorrectly call schmoozing and I call building a bond is the point and is extremely necessary. People are not machine.
