+I’ve been reading lots of [[Apple Vision Pro]] reviews and chatter.
+
+I spent several years working in AR/VR/XR and tinkered with hand input + interfaces. We _knew_ that mobile OS powered headset was coming from Apple.
+
+Then I watched Apple evolve their UI on Mac and iOS for years, that pointed without a doubt to not being bounded by a screen.

+
+I’ll get one when they’re available in Canada. Or, uh, maybe on my next trip to the US 😅

+## Reveiws
+
+Interesting reviews 
+### [Wait But Why, All My Thoughts After 40 Hours in the Vision Pro](https://waitbutwhy.com/2024/02/vision-pro.html)
+
+> I’m writing this on a 30-foot screen on top of a 10,000-foot mountain in Hawaii, at a table in an Austin coffee shop where I’m pretty sure other people are taking photos of me to send to their friends so they can all call me a piece of shit. In the last week, life has gotten weird.
+
+> It’s not just me. VR blows everyone away when they try it, but it seems to have a hard time hooking people for the long run. After a major wave of hype in the mid-2010s, VR receded into the land of subcultures.
+
+> Or are we some tipping point away from VR exploding into the stratosphere like the computer and smartphone?
+
+> The staff member guided me through a demo. And there it was: the holy shit moment.
+> 
+> But it was a holy shit moment with an asterisk. I had experienced full holy shit moments both in 1990 and in 2016 with VR, and these were the notable exceptions to the “holy shit moments are a surefire omen of an industry about to blow up” rule. Was this time different or would history repeat itself?
+
+
+
+### [Joe Cieplinski, Vision](https://joecieplinski.com/blog/2024/02/10/vision/)
+
+> This is the best 1.0 Apple has ever shipped. It’s probably the best 1.0 _anyone_has ever shipped. Put it this way: visionOS already has Cut, Copy, and Paste. It has multiple window support. It has a file manager app. It has support for external keyboards and trackpads. It has full integration with iOS and macOS devices.
+
+> If I lived alone, I would have gotten rid of my TV the day after I picked up Vision Pro. It’s simply the best way to watch movies, shows, etc. Period. Hands down. Game over.
+
+> I say this carefully, because I don’t wish to offend. But if you haven’t used Vision Pro, you probably shouldn’t be writing about it.
+
+> I was trying figure out whether Vision Pro will end up replacing my iPad or my Mac, if either, and it’s clear now it’s the Mac whose days would be numbered.
+
+> If, like me, you see it as an entirely new way to be more productive when working, then the price is downright cheap. I paid less for Vision Pro than I did for my Apple Pro Display XDR, and I can use it while sitting on the _couch_.
+
+> The three biggest gripes people have with Vision Pro are price, size/weight, and battery life. These are three problems the tech world has been solving since the dawn of computing. Time will fix all three very easily. So it’s not a matter of whether Vision Pro will be successful. It’s just a matter of how long it takes for mass adoption. In a few short years, Spatial Computing will be a Fortune 100 company within Apple, just as Apple Watch is now.
