Please help me understand the point of the Vision Pro? It’s not VR. And every app and screenshot I’m seeing looks like “let’s throw this window, that you could normally have on your desktop or TV in your field of view”. Are there any mechanisms to have it interact with your surrounding in an AR type manner? Or does it just overlay flat windows on top of what you’re seeing?

Afaik there are only a handful of actual AR stuff right now:

Application windows stay anchored to your environment until you reset them. If you put them on top of your desk, it'll stay there even if you move to your kitchen.
When you look at your mac, it'll sometimes pop a button to allow you to initiate virtual display to your mac.
When you look down to your bluetooth keyboard, it'll show whatever you type in a floating box complete with suggestions.

Maybe there are more I'm not aware of.
