These are some of the most inaccessible seeming accessibility features I've ever seen. They updated visionOS for blind people, for fucks sake. And who decided to put the word "nutrition" in an accessibility feature that has nothing to do with nutrition? Braille on a smartphone screen? A magnifier app with normal sized UI controls? Who is in charge of this?

Blind doesn't always mean no vision at all. Wearing a device that's always looking where your head is pointing means having a device that can describe your surroundings to you. And as they pointed out, it can magnify what you're looking at so you can read it.

Not massively useful for the current vision Pro, I'm sure, but future devices, smaller devices could be very cool.

Great point that it’s a start

Ya we don’t all learn very early about blind not being absolute maybe unless specified

Gosh imagine profound deaf + totally blind, glad someone cares to design for folks
