It is going to be the quarter of the Apple Vision Pro, a product that we will surely not be able to bring you the review of, but that we know you can forgive us. Be that as it may, Apple's Vision Pro are Virtual or Augmented Reality glasses that can be seen as the future or failure, both words that begin with the letter "f."
So things, It seems that the Apple Vision Pro keyboard does not work correctly and the Cupertino company is going to launch the product without this functionality. The analysts and privileged people who have had the opportunity to try them are clear about it.
Mark Gurman has already warned through Twitter that in version 1.0 of the Operating System run by the Apple Vision Pro we will not see this virtual keyboard, especially due to a series of problems that we are going to tell you about below.
The Vision Pro virtual keyboard is a complete write-off at least in 1.0. You have to poke each key one finger at a time like you did before you learned how to type. There is no magical in-air typing. You can also look at a character and pinch. You'll want a Bluetooth keyboard.

It should be noted that the turn that Apple has taken in terms of the quality control of its products seems completely surreal to me, so much so that it launches a keyboard that simply does not work. This keyboard is totally useless if you want to press two keys at the same time. This does not make any sense, both in that in many languages ​​and even in English itself, it is necessary to press several keys to add different characters, even more so in Spanish, where the use of accents is vital for understanding the text.
The function of writing by sliding on the keys has also not been correctly implemented, something that does happen in the virtual keyboard of iOS and iPadOS, and therefore, the majority of users will be completely condemned to using a Bluetooth keyboard. However, What's the point of launching a Virtual/Augmented Reality product if you need to interact with a physical keyboard?
This is a question that, for the moment, only Apple will be able to solve for us.
