The Apple Vision Pro is a watershed moment for personal computing.

I tried it a week ago, and haven't stopped thinking about it since.

Here is my story on three pivotal moments from my Vision Pro demo and why spatial computing is a new frontier.

Apple Vision Pro: A Watershed Moment for Personal Computing

I’m going to be direct with this story. My 30-minute demo with Vision Pro last week was the most mind-blowing moment of my 14-year career covering Apple and technology. I left the demo speechless, and it took me a few days to articulate how it felt. How I felt. It’s not just that I was

@viticci Excellent write up of your experience! 👍

But is this the future you want? I quote “… looking at the world as the computer…”. This brings down another division between the natural, real world and the artificial one.

@viticci Once the visual part of this can be integrated into normal glasses without adding bulk or weight, and coupled with AirPods, then we’re talking about a revolution. Until then, this is just a proof of concept, I think.

As a pure work tool it may have its merits, but generally it’ll separate people even more from each other I think.

@2happy1sad @viticci And don't get me wrong, the technology is amazing and the implementation the best one yet. Exactly what you would expect from Apple. 🤷‍♂️
