Der Ausverkauf beginnt, wer möchte gerne eine, aber Achtung keine EU-Garantie. Da kommen bei mir so einige Fragezeichen auf wenn ich das in einem Schweizer Mitarbeiter Shop vergünstigt kaufen könnte.
The sale is starting, who would like one, but beware, no EU guarantee. This raises a few question marks for me if I could buy it at a discount in a Swiss staff store. #Apple#VisionPro
Apple’s industry-defining products made it the juggernaut it is today. But as iPhone sales continue to stagnate and the Vision Pro vastly underperforms, the company’s long-term prospects look increasingly dicey.
I filed a feedback about my erratic eye tracking on my #VisionPro and got some useful information:
“Unfortunately, the artificial lenses that are implanted during a Cataract surgery can sometimes cause interference with Apple Vision Pro’s eye tracking. This can manifest in unstable, or erratic tracking and highlighting.”
Thoughts after Apple iPad event with implications for #VisionPro: Today, Apple positioned iPad and VisionPro for professional use, including movie production and sound editing (e.g., FinalCut & Logic Pro on the iPad), and training (VisionPro). They also updated the Apple Pencil. Here's an exciting idea:
An issue to some with Vision Pro has been the lack of strong integration of hand controllers, especially compared to more gaming-centric headsets. For serious use of VisionPro's initial major pro app, Excel, I think it helps to use a physical keyboard and trackpad, which it does support. But that's not rich enough for many more advanced uses.
I think in the not-too-distant future we’ll see the iPad integrated with VisionPro like the Mac started, if not more so. You’ll use an iPad, perhaps with a Magic Keyboard, and the new Apple Pencil Pro for professional-level control. Having both a pencil, with squeeze, twirl, haptic-feedback, hover, etc., along with the current full-motion hand and arm movement in 3D-space, gives you the start of a very rich and precise way of interacting with spatial computing. Moving on the hard iPad surface could be quite superior to waving something in the air or using a joystick. The Mac is not for using a pen, but the iPad is. I’m thinking long-term, not just the current headset. The videos they showed of their pro-apps on iPad, and the VisionPro update which included touting a film director using it to oversee the editing and visual effects for an upcoming film, hinted towards this convergence to me. I wonder if it's true.
I really like my #VisionPro and still use it all the time, but I think Apple missed the boat a bit. The Meta Raybans are a more practical face computer.
If Apple had created sunglasses that had a decent camera, Apple Music/Podcasts, and Siri built in for $300, it probably would have been a massive success.
Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.
New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We have the collective power to stop tech that doesn’t serve us.
I completely agree with David here — viewing panoramic photos in the Vision Pro is fantastic. I’m so glad that over the past years I’ve taken a lot of them without any good reason at the time. The Vision Pro was the reason.
Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.
Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.
Apple was never going to "save" VR.
We've spent the last decade giving Apple an unlimited runway of speculation and hype to bring a face computer to market.
Instead of doing a better job earnestly and fairly covering the tech along the way, properly educating consumers on what these things can do, now even Vision Pro can't live up to the media's imagined narrative of Apple.
Apple did nothing to earn a DECADE of media support for XR products, but think of all the projects that were criticized for not living up to some kind of imaginary Sci-Fi standard.
"Wait for gen 2 or gen 3 instead!"
Techies expect everyone else to lift off like a helicopter, but Apple gets UNLIMITED runway...
Had my library 3D print the @christianselig#VisionPro stand. Learned a lot about 3D printing and think I spent an hour removing supports. That said looks great. Just need a dowel now.
"With spatial Persona, up to five people using their own Vision Pros can participate together within compatible apps without being in the same physical space"
"Spatial Personas" is the next step in the battle to reduce the isolation of Apple Vision Pro. I do like this premise and it's VERY early days still.
/dev/world/, the single nicest developer conference in Australia, is on again, and we want YOUR presentation! Come speak to a fantastic audience of iOS developers, server engineers, frontend hackers, and more, all in Naarm/Melbourne this May! https://auc.edu.au/devworld/cfp/#appledev#iosdev#swiftlang#visionpro
What if you never ever had to put your phone down? Ever?
Eddy Burback's "Apple's $3500 Nightmare" video essay is ridiculous, absurdist, and amazing. Low key humor exploring the dystopian nightmare that VR/AR is ushering in for... reasons?
If you are interested in, less about a tech review, and more about what tech like the Vision Pro mean for humans I recommend giving it a view.
