A short comment on Apple’s Vision Pro hype: yes we might be living in an increasingly digital world, but let’s not forget that we still experience all of it through our physical body.
Ergonomics is the main reason why VR has never really taken off domestically. Vision Pro will work if they manage to make a headset that is as comfortable to use as eyeglasses or screens, and not something that you can’t wait to take off after an hour.
This we cannot tell from the pictures and Apple hasn’t released its weight. The thing looks like a snorkel designed by Zaha Hadid, but I have hopes for it. It’s exciting to feel this could actually mean the end of screens as we know them and the future of domestic digital experiences. Everything the Metaverse never was.
Just hoping Apple puts the focus on human factors and ergonomics and invests lots of money into making it smaller and lightweight (and strapless maybe?) during the next years.
