| > I'm sure the author has sincere concerns. I found the sweeping generalisations tough to read Not that it makes either "side" valid, but in fairness, the pro-AVP side has been similarly full of gushing sweeping generalizations, too: > Apple is using beamforming to direct the sound into your ears. And unless you are blasting it out loud — you could get away with wearing it in a public place — though people in Business Class will notice the slight din from the seat next to them. Let’s face it — the early adopters are at the front of the bus. (not to mention a little haughty) > For the last six days, I’ve been simultaneously testing three entirely new products from Apple. The first is a VR/AR headset with eye-tracking controls. The second is a revolutionary spatial computing productivity platform. The third is a breakthrough personal entertainment device. > The VisionOS workspace isn’t infinite, but it feels as close to infinitely large as it could be. It’s the world around you. > The Mac Virtual Display feature is both useful and almost startlingly intuitive. > Vision Pro is simply a phenomenal way to watch movies, and 3D immersive experiences are astonishing. There are 3D immersive experiences in Vision Pro that are more compelling than Disney World attractions that people wait in line for hours to see. > But I can recommend buying Vision Pro solely for use as a personal theater. I paid $5,000 for my 77-inch LG OLED TV a few years ago. Vision Pro offers a far more compelling experience (including far more compelling spatial surround sound). You’d look at my TV set and almost certainly agree that it’s a nice big TV. But watching movies in the Disney+ and TV apps will make you go “Wow!” These are experiences I never imagined I’d be able to have in my own home (or, say, while flying across the country in an airplane). > "My four magic moments"... My last magic moment came when the Vision Pro became what I have always wanted — the future of television (and video.) A screen like none before. I opened up the Apple TV app, and picked an immersive video film of highliner Faith Dickey. |
