🚨 Latest Developments

Apple Releases “Apple Vision Pro”

Source: Twitter

Big Takeaway: Apple's Vision Pro was released over the weekend, priced at $3,499, and is called the start of "spatial computing." (See examples here)

In a nutshell: it has groundbreaking hand and eye tracking controls that can feel like magic, but many reports have said the controls are inconsistent and frustrating.
Wearing the heavy headset for long periods requires an external battery pack. But the real-life inconveniences raise questions about preferring a screen-based virtual world over a computer or a smartphone for every-day use.
Apple's emphasis on AR over VR reflects a long-term vision for technology that enhances rather than replaces physical interaction with the world. But the question remains… will this product really catch on?
