Let me show you the craziest part about the Vision Pro.
I am now convinced that we've entered a transition into a screenless world.
So this is my spatial computing setup, and I can get my work done in a two-monitor setup.
I can get in close to the details, I'm facetiming with my beautiful wife, I have my Instagram feed to the side, I got a YouTube video playing on top, shout out to Casey, Twitter, news, I can customize this however I want.
That's not the crazy part.
The crazy part is that because of spatial awareness, and Carly, you're coming with me, I can actually leave apps running wherever I want in the environment.
So I walk to our refrigerator, we have a grocery list there.
We'll be traveling soon, so I leave a packing list in the kitchen.
I can have sports running or maybe I want to watch a movie or show, I need to finish Killers of the Flower Moon.
See, customization is limitless here and your surroundings become an infinite canvas.
So, let me grab Carly.
Let me go pay her a visit, because when you Facetime somebody from the Vision Pro, this is what you look like.
Definitely dystopian.
Now, as I said before, the Vision Pro, this is the most incredible consumer tech product that I've ever tried, without a doubt.
But, unless you're a developer, or if 3,500 bucks is just play money to you, I can't recommend you buy it.
Honestly, I think the Quest 3 is like 82% of the way here at 1/7th of the price.
Maybe best to wait for a version two, three, four.
But let me know what you think below.
Catch you in the next one.
Peace.
Are we entering into a decades-long transition into a world of screen-less computing? I can finally see it. The Vision Pro is the device that dramatically accelerates a move into that direction.
The confluence of spatial computing, AI, improved hardware and battery technology could result in a highly ergonomic device that will replace our screens.
The Vision and Quest platforms will continue to improve their form factors and ergonomics.
After 72 hours with the Vision Pro, I will reiterate that it is the most incredible consumer tech device I’ve ever tried. But aside from some very specific cases, I can’t recommend it as a buy. My advice would be to wait for a version 2 or 3. The Meta Quest 3 can do 85% of what the Vision Pro can do at 1/7th the price with a much more mature app and games ecosystem.
I also want to mention that the theater experience in the Vision Pro is remarkable. I think the combination of the Vision Pro + AirPods Max can already replace a $10,000 home theater system. The only caveat is that it’s single player. What are your thoughts on the Vision Pro? #visionpro #applevisionpro #tech
