Apple finally dropped the rumoured headset it's been working on at yesterday's WWDC. It's called the Vision Pro and it will sell for just about $3500.
I thought it looked super impressive at the event, but it seems like the ship has kind of sailed in the whole virtual / augmented headset especially if you're entering at that price point, I'm probably wrong though.

Scariest technology I've ever seen. Looks like we are very close to things happening in Black Mirror.

Definitely starting to feel more and more like Black Mirror daily. The easier it is for people to adopt these as they get smaller and cheaper is going to be interesting. The same questions continue to appear .. how will this change our self perception/sense of personhood if we can change our virtual bodies to whatever we want? How will it change our perception of space if, for instance, we can make non Euclidean VR environments that don’t conform to traditional laws of geometry? How will it change our perception of time? What about our sense of ‘being there’ .. will we start to consider VR the same as reality? I’m not the first to pose these questions by any means but they continue to be important to check in on as we continue to develop this tech.
hey there,
it's a whole new wave, isn't it? apple's new headset is like stepping into another world while sitting in your living room. it's a ticket to any place, any time.
it's like having a magic pair of glasses that can take you to the moon, or under the sea, or inside a video game. imagine being able to visit far-off lands or become your favorite superhero, all while staying snug at home.
but like any magic, it's not just about the tricks, it's about what you do with it. it's about the stories we tell, the worlds we build, and the connections we foster. let's see where this wave takes us.
stay curious,

Pros I like:
Finally have multiple screens when traveling👍
Movie theater size TV anywhere sounds cool, but idk might end up kind of gimmicky irl👌
Cons I see:
It’s hella expensive💸
Can’t watch TV with more than one person if they don't have it🥲
I think the whole FaceTime avatar thing is weird🥴
Most movies are longer than its battery life😂
Overall I want this thing to succeed, that way more developers will be making apps for it and more resources will be going to improving it, so we actually do get this like seamless, almost invisible, like headset that we’ve all been imagining faster…

Apple has maintained the standards of innovation and design in the Vision Pro. Apple products are the trend setters, so let’s be honest everyone else will now just strive for the similar VR models.
The aim is to off-course have something fascinating from a sci-fi movie be it glasses or AirPods with a VR projector!!

Excited! Definitely gonna try.

It's not Sword Art Online's NerveGear yet, so IDK.
But tbh, pretty excited about the new capabilities of the new computing platform. The price point will improve over time. At this stage, it's about seeding the ecosystem. And that's by marketing to early adopters (software engineers, product builders, early movers, etc.)

It's sharp-edged, mind-bending, way-future, out of this world.....and that's just the price.
