its about use case. in a 911 center, for example, all people need immediate access to all information in the room... often personnel not sitting at that station it is a non-static environment for a plural audience.

and cost is not really an issue anymore. giant, flat screens are Dirt cheap. this will never, ever be cheaper than the equivalent. they have new monitor tech rolling out that is literally like wallpaper.

i just cannot envision a generic use case that would make it popular

Dude you obviously aren’t going to listen.

You decided this product isn’t going to be useful for anyone because you personally don’t see any utility.

You’re personally offended Apple didn’t make a VR headset for you. I’m sorry kid.

What I don’t get is the caustic hostility you’re displaying in this thread about a product for creative professionals and tradesmen (of which you are neither).
