Remember when your parents said don't sit too close to the TV? Now I'm inside it. Look, you might have seen this on the internet, but ahead of its official release here this week, we decided to see how it would go in a very Australian environment. The Office. It's the device that's proving divisive.
Until now most Aussies have only seen Apple Vision Pro online and nowhere near the communal kitchen or vending machine, let alone a newsroom. Apple says this is a spatial computer that you wear on your face and blends digital content like photos, TV shows and websites with the physical world. You control it with your eyes, hands and voice.
My first impression, it hits a few pain points in the office. Like phasing out noisy distractions. Oh hey, Sean. Hey, Sal.
What's going on? Oh, just, you know, in the middle of a lot of work stuff. But God, I've had the worst morning.
The dog weaned on the carpet. Then Willow forgot her homework. I had to go back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Or remembering a colleague's name.
Hey, how are you? Ben, Ben, Ben. Yes.
And looking productive in front of the boss. Jokes aside, it really hits a winning note when you set up a workspace. You can pull multiple screens up at once and connect other devices like your Mac or AirPods. Well, this really is an impressive piece of technology.
It's made out of metal and glass. It's got cameras and sensors facing inwards and outwards, infrared eye tracking system, all to create this magic so that when you look through, there's this alternate reality. It's worth noting there are other headsets on the market, like Meta's Quest 3 and the...
PlayStation VR 2. When it comes to the Apple Vision Pro cons, the price will put many consumers off. It is heavy to wear but there are two straps. The main one looks more stylish, the second is more functional.
Carrying the battery pack around and charging it is a little annoying. The real winner from all of this is something called Persona, which is your digital identity used for things like FaceTime. Is that Persona Sean I see on my screen? Persona Valve.
I'm not sure is that really you? Sean you look kind of like the digital Sean White something that I'd see like as an AI Well is you you? I mean I'm looking at you and it looks like you but you've got frosted hair How old are you? You also get eyesight It's basically a cyber version of your eyes It's a tool for letting people in the outside world know you can see them A fascinating look at how Apple has their eyes on the future Good job.
