Experience the next evolution in computing with Apple Vision Pro! Revolutionize how you interact with digital content in your physical space using advanced spatial computing and EyeSight technology. Explore the possibilities: Explained in plain language #AppleVisionPro #SpatialComputing #Technology

Here’s our latest PoV on the #AppleVisionPro! While the hype focuses on the #Metaverse, Apple's focus on spatial computing intrigues us. Their vision of enhancing daily interactions with virtual displays holds immense potential for enterprise applications. This paper, authored by Vishwa Ranjan and Sameer Choudhary, dives into the implications for businesses and hands-on experiences with the headset.

Friends, in case you are wondering about what Vision Pro and spatial computing means for enterprises, please read this article - will appreciate your feedback. Despite all the negative publicity around XR devices and the 'M' word :), I am a firm believer that this marks the "iPhone moment" for HMD devices. If you have not experienced the future, please give it a try, I can assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. When iPhone was released in 2007, I was one of the early adopters. I purchased my first Macbook, developed and published a couple of apps on the App store in 2009-11 timeframe. I am getting the same excitement and feeling now. From the release of iPhone to iPhone now, think of the immense possibilities of the future along the same lines, when the form factor reaches a point of comfortable continuous wearing for many hours at a time. IMHO, it is a given that our relationship with machines is going to change - it will likely not be a revolution, but a gradual (sometimes accelerated) evolution. With fast emerging GenAI capabilities, left AI brain seems to have found the missing right AI brain, so lack of content issues will go away. Combining GenAI, XR, IoT, spatial technologies, and web is where a lot of action is going to be in the coming years, for consumers, for enterprises, for industries. Also, got a chance to experience the "What if.. " app from ILM Immersive (my first job that I hold dear to my heart), give it a try to see how immersive story telling is evolving. Cheers!

Great read on the "current" future of spatial computing by my man Luke Hurd.

As the rest of the world ( Outside the US) awaits for introduction to Apple's Vision Pro headsets, Quest 2 and 3 headsets too can be transformed into formidable tools for spatial computing, presenting a compelling alternative to the high-end Vision Pro. By employing a series of ingenious tweaks and leveraging free applications, you can bypass a hefty £3,500 investment and still immerse yourself in the vibrant realm of #mixedreality. Envision seamlessly integrating your Apple Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and AirPods with your Quest headset through Bluetooth connectivity. This synergy revolutionises multitasking and productivity, offering a fluid and intuitive user experience. Furthermore, the Meta Quest browser amplifies this by enabling the management of multiple windows and tabs with unparalleled ease. For professionals eager to elevate their workspace, applications like Immersed and #MetaHorizonWorkrooms provide an immersive or #spatialcomputing environment that flawlessly syncs with your laptop, irrespective of whether it is an Apple or a Microsoft Windows device. This setup not only facilitates video editing and online shopping but also allows for engaging tutorial sessions, all within the same virtual space. EntertainBig screenot left behind with Quest 3 and 2. Applications such as Bigscreen VR transport you to a virtual cinema, complete with YouTube, Prime Video & Amazon Studios, and Disney streaming capabilities, where you can host a virtual movie night with friends. These experiences have been nothing short of revolutionary. While I haven't had the chance to directly compare it to the Vision Pro headset, the affordability and adaptability of the Quest setup are undeniably impressive. If you don't believe me have a look at this insightful video from CNET https://lnkd.in/esrsV6Hv 🌐✨ #SpatialComputing #Quest3 #Innovation #TechSavvy #CostEffective #VirtualCollaboration #metaverse

Are we humans Spatial computers? Hardly. Neither are our cars Friction computers. But spatial computing is now here in Apple's Vision Pro and I will start a series of writings on this curious concept and what it means to live in the world of spatial computing. Skatrix, and the team behind this native game for Vision Pro got me seriously interested in this. The discussions have started. https://lnkd.in/dU7awvfs

Really enjoyed speaking with Christopher Mims for his piece in The Wall Street Journal about how Apple Vision Pro works as a productivity device. I’ve been using it daily since launch, and have been having a great time learning the design patterns and interaction model introduced in visionOS. I've tried using other VR headsets for daily work—mirroring a computer monitor, or 3D modeling in Gravity Sketch—but in every case the display resolution and limited inputs were instantly disqualifying. Vision Pro easily solves resolution shortcomings with an incredibly dense display in a relatively narrow field-of-view, but its real innovation is in how the system brings windowed applications into 3D space. The ideas introduced with this product are simultaneously a radical reimagining of how a computer should look and work, but also the most pure realization of what the original Macintosh (and the Alto) set out to accomplish with the "desktop" metaphor we've been using for 40 years. Itself a massive rethinking of computer interfaces, the mouse and graphical bitmapped display have endured as our proxies for interacting with digital objects. Apple's visionOS, and the amazing display, processing, eye-tracking and gesture recognition they've paired it with, removes those abstractions and instead let us use these things directly. #AppleVisionPro #XR #VR #AR #visionOS #mixedreality #virtualreality #augmentedreality #spatial #spatialcomputing #productdesign #design

INSIGHT of the day: Apple Vision Pro is coming out I hate journalists who can draw the future of new devices. Do not believe any of this. Let developers play with it, create apps and then see how consumers react. Then Apple will create a new Vision Pro release, with hopefully a lower price. Of course having none of big OTT apps not supporting natively Vision Pro will create additional headwind and push Apple into a vertical integration, which BTW they are very good at. https://lnkd.in/gPC8bkNe In summary, give Vision Pro time. Via Ian Nock Fabrice Lorenceau Rob Koenen Ludovic Bostral PS : interesting to note the coincidence of the sunrise of Apple Vision Pro with the sunset of SKY VR service.

It is obvious that it has a high cost, that perhaps not everyone can access them yet, that there is not yet a huge catalogue of apps to do a multitude of things with them. But there is no doubt that if Apple is taking the plunge, it is because there is a market ready to consume. It is because the Spatial generation has arrived to coexist with the AI generation. And that any company that does not want to be left behind will need to start thinking in three-dimensional and spatial terms as soon as possible. At Onirix we have spent years developing our concept of Spatial AR, now taken to Spatial Web AR (whose beta you can test since the end of January, by the way! link here to request access --> https://lnkd.in/dR3qJmhV). This is because we know that the two-dimensional world, at least on the web, is evolving towards this new paradigm. Are you ready? https://lnkd.in/dEJhNdRW #spatialcomputing #spatialxr #applevisionpro #onirix

Real-world considerations for mass market traction… “I keep coming back to all the questions I’ve been asking myself ever since I first strapped the Vision Pro onto my head. Starting, of course, with the most important: * Do you want a computer that messes up your hair every time you use it? * Do you want a computer that smears your makeup every time you use it, if you wear makeup? * Do you want a computer that allows the Walt Disney Company to prevent you from taking pictures of what you see? * Do you want to use a computer where you easily can’t show anyone else what you’re looking at? * Do you think the fanciest TV you own should have HDMI inputs? * Do you want to use a computer that doesn’t work as well in a dark room? * Do you want to use a computer that is always looking at your hands? That is a lot of tradeoffs — big tradeoffs, not little ones. And the biggest tradeoff of all is that using the Vision Pro is such a lonely experience, regardless of the weird ghost eyes on the front. You’re in there, having experiences all by yourself that no one else can take part in. After using the Vision Pro for a while, I’ve come to agree with what Tim Cook has been saying for so long: headsets are inherently isolating. That’s fine for traditional VR headsets, which have basically turned into single-use game consoles over the past decade, but it’s a lot weirder for a primary computing device. I don’t want to get work done in the Vision Pro. I get my work done with other people, and I’d rather be out here with them.” https://lnkd.in/gNwPN6n5
