Apple Vision Pro Finally Ships: We Put a Computer on Our Face
2024-02-03
In early 2024, despite being announced in 2023, the Apple Vision Pro finally launched to the public and sparked a massive wave of mixed-reality hype. This was the moment Apple literally strapped "Spatial Computing" straight onto our faces.
"It's extremely expensive and feels slightly like balancing a heavy brick on your forehead, but we all eagerly lined up to buy it anyway."
The device features absolutely stunning ultra-high-definition displays and near-telepathic hand tracking precision, effectively setting a completely new glass ceiling for the entire AR/VR industry. But enjoying this immersive future requires making two sacrifices: your entire savings account, and your living room vase, which you will inevitably knock over while trying to pinch-and-zoom a 3D spreadsheet.
Whether you consider it the ultimate spatial productivity tool or just an extremely elaborate way to watch cat videos, the Vision Pro proved one thing unequivocally: wearing it in public is a great way to turn heads, assuming you don't walk into a lamppost first.
