As mentioned in the vanity fair piece on Tim Cook and the Vision Pro, there is the risk of despair on stepping out of this digitally augmented world. Notably, this should not be considered the same as the difference between a fully immersive, VR world and the physical world, where they may have nothing in common. In this form of spatial computing, we are thinking about the physical world as is vs the physical world as augmented with digital objects.
One way to do this may be to limit how much you can “build” in your space. There may be design guidelines, or even hard restrictions on how much stimulation or deviation from the physical world are allowed in these digital spatial interfaces. We shouldn’t allow users to experience dopamine drop-off when “turning off” these interfaces. One way to get at this problem is with the thought: even when being worn, spatial interfaces should usually be off. This means that it should simply be a way to replace the phone pick up, not a way to simulate always having your phone up to your face.
