Apple Vision Pro is a glimpse of an immersive computing future. It's possible to get real work done and, of course, enjoy hours of 360-degree entertainment. But, the more time you spend in Apple's Spatial Computing, they more you also come to understand its limits, and I've found a big one.
I've been drawing on virtual every computing platform since the late 1970s. First, I did it in BASIC on a Texas Instruments Program Recorder (it recorded to cassette tapes) where I mapped out the coordinates to draw a bird in flight. I later found rudimentary drawing apps on the Commodore 64 and fell in love with MacPaint on the first Macintosh. As I upgraded thorough multiple versions and platforms (desktop and mobile), the one constant was that I could always draw on them. Creating art on the best iPad with the Apple Pencil is not just equivalent to pen on paper, it's more flexible and arguably better.
