Why I’m (Cautiously, Optimistically) Sold on Apple Vision Pro
How Apple’s new “spatial computing” headset may change the world
Earlier this week on Monday, June 5, Apple unveiled their first entry into the AR/VR space with a mixed reality headset called the Apple Vision Pro. While rumored to have been in the works for a while, I honestly considered it to be vaporware it seemed like years continued to pass with no progress made on the headset. It was to my great surprise that we finally got our first glimpse after an always smile-inducing “One more thing…” announcement.
As I watched the keynote progress, I honestly didn’t know what to think. Keep in mind that I do own a Meta Quest 2, so my mind kept drawing comparisons back to that device. With all respect to that headset, I was originally enamored with using it almost daily after first getting it, but it has admittedly gathered dust the last few months as I realized that the Meta Quest 2’s experience simply wasn’t for me.
Still, there were a number of really cool things shown in the Apple Vision Pro’s keynote, and sentiments shared by YouTubers who got to experience firsthand also built momentum in my interest. Okay, okay… I have to admit, I am definitely biased toward Apple, and this bias is clearly making me want to look for the positives with this device.
