alt Hacker NewsThe thing sticking outside of the icon draws the eye to it, which means your focus is at the edge instead of the center, which makes for a more error prone experience.
Since the eyes are the cursor, this is a problem. Desktop and mobile don’t have this issue.

And Apple decided this was a problem with icons, rather than a problem with the way they implemented their vision tracking? Believable, and laughable.

Where you are looking should not be the cursor, that is obviously dumb. Should be where your nose is pointing.
Obvious solution, two different icons, round one for Vision OS, more shapely one for everyone else.
