The Apple Vision Pro: A Revolutionary Spatially Aware Computer

One thing that's truly impressive about the Apple Vision Pro is how comfortable it feels to use, especially when you're trying to relax in bed. The device just feels like an extension of your own physical presence, allowing you to interact with apps and virtual objects in a way that's both intuitive and natural.

The app selection on the Apple Vision Pro is also noteworthy, with many apps feeling like they're physically present in the space around you. This level of immersion is something that Apple does particularly well, making it feel like you can pin app windows to any location you choose, and then leave the room without having to worry about losing your place. You can even take off the device and move from one building to another, knowing that your apps will still be waiting for you where you left them.

Of course, with a price tag of $3,500, the Apple Vision Pro is not something that should be used in public. It's better suited for private use, such as at home or in an office setting. Even on airplanes, it might be difficult to use the device due to cramped quarters, although it could potentially provide more screen real estate than a traditional laptop. Additionally, using the Apple Vision Pro in bed or other living spaces can also enhance your entertainment experience.

However, the cost of the Apple Vision Pro is hard to justify for most people, especially when compared to other headsets like the Meta Quest 3, which offer similar functionality at a fraction of the price. While the Meta Quest 3 may not be as feature-rich, it's still a viable option for those who want to experience virtual reality without breaking the bank.

But what if your profession requires the use of spatially aware technology? What if you're an architect, interior designer, or engineer who needs to create detailed 3D models of buildings and spaces? In these cases, the Apple Vision Pro could be a game-changer. Using free apps like Autodesk ReCap and SketchUp, users can place virtual objects in a space and share them with clients for feedback before construction begins. This level of collaboration and precision is invaluable in fields where accuracy is paramount.

The potential for the Apple Vision Pro to help professionals make money through its use is also an interesting consideration. Developers who create apps specifically for the device could charge premium prices, making it a lucrative business opportunity. By launching the Apple Vision Pro with a high price tag, Apple may be hoping to encourage developers to create content that will generate revenue and justify the cost of the device.

In reality, this approach might not be as effective as some developers would like. If Apple had called the Apple Vision Pro a "developer kit" from the start, it's possible that only developers would have purchased one, rather than making it available to a wider audience. However, by launching the device with a high price tag and emphasizing its potential for professional use, Apple may be hoping to generate buzz and excitement among developers.

Ultimately, the Apple Vision Pro is an innovative product that has the potential to revolutionize various industries. Whether or not it's worth the $3,500 price tag depends on your specific needs and profession. If you're a developer looking to create spatially aware apps or if you work in a field where precision and collaboration are key, the Apple Vision Pro may be an investment worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enmorning another day another raw test today we're doing on the Apple Vision Pro and I'm sure you have seen it everywhere by now but I promise this video is not me just wandering around with it on my face and frankly I don't think there's a reason to use this in public and anyone that you see on the internet doing so is more likely than not doing it to be intentionally evocative to Simply get views so regardless unlike my laptop phone earbuds ebike Etc rear World tests that I usually do here on the channel we won't be exploring very much as this is just not a product that you should be out and about with in that sense but it is a proper rear whe test of how this product should be used and I actually think I have some things to show you guys that you probably haven't seen just yet so without further Ado Let's test out this new headset but first things first coffee check and let's start with some of the basics of how Apple Vision Pro works for those unfamiliar really quick essentially it has displays inside one for each eye and you can get magnetic prescription lenses made by Zeiss included in the price if you need them I am nearsighted so a pair of these helped me out there are cameras on the outside that capture the outside world and then they project that on the displays on the inside and the apps you see are then overlaid on top of that world view there are also cameras on the bottom of the headset used to track your hands as well as some cameras inside tracking your eye movement the main way that you interact with the device basically you look at something and then you use your hands to interact with it pinching your fingers to select pinching and flicking to scroll up or down and pinching and dragging on the line under an app to move it or the corner of the app to resize it now a lot of this is similar to other XR headsets but there are definitely some differences the hand tracking for example is on other devices here and there but it's nowhere near as intuitive or well tracked as here the ey tracking is also something very intuitive and something I really haven't seen very well implemented anywhere else and the OS itself is built for these interactions instead of controller first like others honestly for me one of the most impressive things about this device is that eye and hand tracking I've used other device albeit a long time ago with similar features and none of them have even come close to how good this is also the resolution and the sharpness of the displays and the exterior cameras is noticeably better than say The Meta Quest 3 and yes considering the price car between these it should be the world view though because of that is way sharper and it actually a clever way of sharpening only what you're looking at thanks to that eye tracking to save on processing and Battery compared to having the entire display sharp all the time it's also how your eyes actually work kind of now it's also noticeably heavier than other headsets and it actually feels like it's kind of pulling down on my cheeks a bit but even with that I'm able to use it for a decent amount of time the secondary head strap that adds a bit more support helps with that though to some degree but it definitely doesn't negate it it for me at least okay but what can you actually do with it hello well I assume you're familiar already with how it works as this video is going Live Well after it's released and I'm sure there were a ton of other videos that you probably watched before you got to this one so I will spare you the in-depth walk through but basically you can use Vision Pro specific apps that either open in a movable resizable window in front of you or open as a full world view AKA virtual reality and you are immersed inside the app we also have iPad apps that you can run which also open in one of these floating movable resizable Windows as well now these apps aren't without glitches here and there I actually had a bunch of them crash many times when I first got the device on launch day and a little bit thereafter but I will say I haven't had any issues lately compared to then developers have jumped on fixing things as has Apple themselves more on that later now the apps that really shine of course are the ones made for Vision Pro that take advantage of the spatial awareness some good examples of this being 3D puzzle apps where you can walk around a puzzle and rotate it and put pieces together there's actually a really fun DJ app that gives you a DJ like deck that you can put vinyl on and actually scratch and do mixing and actually kind of mimics the feeling of really DJing a set which is kind of cool and even apps like this one that you can take 3D models and take them apart and put them back together and see inside them and it's just kind of a a neat Educational Learning tool and kind of showcases some of the spatial awareness abilities that you can do on this something else cool is how it automatically recognizes Apple MacBooks for example that you're logged into with the same account and it pops up an option over it to connect and then you can use it with the Vision Pro that automatic interaction itself just it just feels kind of like the future honestly this then allows you to say use your MacBook and put a giant version of the screen in the air or multiple Windows to mimic a floating set of monitors which is actually kind of useful I even tried while traveling using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to the Apple Vision Pro to just be more comfortable in bed while using it one thing that's truly impressive though is the fact that the apps just feel like they're physically in the space like apple does a good job of that and the ability to pin these app Windows wherever you want and then leave the room take off the device even go from one building to another and have the apps still remain where you originally put them is impressive so that's kind of a quick gist of what you can do with it but what should you do with it and what justifies that $3,500 price tag so as mentioned this should not be used in public it should be used maybe at a desk of an office or in your apartment with maybe the exception of like on an airplane because that's the I can think of where your actual laptop might be difficult to use like cramped in an airplane seat you will of course still look like a potentially pretentious because everyone knows at this point how much this thing costs bug in front of strangers but I guess at least does solve a problem in that case and gives you more screen real estate beyond that though the laptop with multiple screens is a use case that is pretty solid as is maybe using it to surf the web in bed and gaming or using it in your living room to say watch 3D movies is a good use too but I still have a hard time justifying the cost especially when other headsets like the $500 meta Quest 3 can also do these things not as well for sure but relatively well enough for a seventh of the price but what if your profession could actually use a spatially aware computer or there was somewhere where maybe it could kind of pay for itself I used it not too long ago to help design a kitchen I used a free app and was able to place kitchen items like cabinets a stove Etc where I thought they should go and then use that to show show the contractor who then built the cabinets and it truly felt like a useful addition to that workflow it meant less back and forth a better job was done Etc now if my contractor had one and he could then use it to show his perspective clients what his work would look like when it was done that could maybe help him make sales in fact 3D rendering is a common marketing tactic for interior designers Architects and others that is known to help sell clients and increase Revenue they can all also create models way more in tively as well using the Apple Vision Pro way better than like a CAD software that you would traditionally use in two Dimensions now again you could technically do this on a meta Quest but these more professional apps don't really exist or at least not good ones on the meta Quest and part of that is because of the fact that the meta's own marketing portrays it as more of an entertaining toy developers and designers don't necessarily think of it as much of a tool and there are some exceptions to that but for the most part that's true but Apple traditionally very recognized by Design as a tool for their jobs they don't have that hurdle regardless though Apple still needs developers to make apps that are specific to the Apple Vision Pro to make it really useful which is why whether qualifying it as a business expense is how people could maybe justify the cost better the truth is is that this feels very much like apple didn't call this a developer kit even if it kind of might have been that you see if they called it a developer kit then only developers would have bought one really but what if they just launched it with a high price tag something usually common for some developer kits as the developers can justify that high cost as a necessary investment to create the apps that they will in turn maybe make money from somehow and let's just let everyone buy it people get more excited they use it in public and do things to get views it takes over the news cycle like it did and developers just happen to notice the buzz and decide to work on it from that brilliant if true no so to just answer the question if you can use this to make money for a business that could benefit in some way from spatial awareness in an app overlaid on the in the real world you'd be a good candidate for buying and using the Apple Vision Pro right now even possibly but more likely If we're honest if you're a developer and you're looking to make spacially aware apps and apple is maybe the demographic that you're going for then you're really who this product is for If we're honest and there you go hope you guys enjoyed this please let me know in the comments below what you thought of this video what you think of the Apple Vision Pro um and if you're not already please subscribe and ding the Bell so you get notified when I do new videos I on the other hand I'm going to play more of those 3D puzzles maybe for a bit night\n"
