An X user named Dante posted a video of himself getting pulled over for driving a Tesla while wearing the new Apple Vision Pro glasses on the same day as the $3,500 glasses release.
It's cool and all... from the comfort of your own private home... but on public transport, it's pretty dystopian. Peoples incessant addiction to their phones is bad enough already.
Among all the serious reviews from MKBHD and the like, I thought Casey Neistat's hands-on stood out.
He's clearly intending to look ridiculous being out and about in NYC with it on but his summary in the last minute or two, where he forecasts where this is heading, is interesting.
Everything in my house is Apple - I carry a MacBook Pro almost everywhere with me - and the way the Vision Pro integrates with a physical Mac, creating virtual desktops looks both interesting and seriously clever, but I have zero interest in it right now. It's going to take quite a few iterations and price drops before I'm going to be a potential buyer.
As a friend of mine said the other day, I suspect these early models will look so bulky and ridiculous in about 10 years time, as they get smaller and smaller and more subtle.
It still looks so much like the future. Until they get the price down and make it some kind of Black Mirror style lens, I can’t see it taking off mainstream.
When does this become the norm though? 5, 10, 20+ years away?
