[<em>Pausing to ponder.<\/em>] Yeah, I\u2019m pretty sure I saw the future\u2013or at least Apple\u2019s vision of the future of computing. On Tuesday morning, I got to try the Apple Vision Pro, the new $3,499 mixed-reality headset that was announced this week and ships next year.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here to tell you the major details of my experience, but the overall impression I have is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/557878\/apple-reality-headset-ar-vr-design-features-specs-price.html\">Vision Pro<\/a> is the most impressive first-gen product I\u2019ve seen from Apple\u2013more impressive than the 1998 iMac, or the 2007 iPhone. And I\u2019m fully aware that other companies have made VR headsets, but Apple does that thing that it does, where it puts its understanding of what makes a satisfying user experience and creates a new product in an existing market that sets a higher bar of excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s expensive, and yes, this market hasn\u2019t proven that it can move beyond being niche. Those are very important considerations to discuss in other articles. For now, I\u2019ll convey my experiences and impressions here, from a one-hour demonstration at Apple Park. (I was not allowed to take photos or record video; the photos posted here were supplied by Apple.) The device I used is an early beta, so it\u2019s possible\u2014likely even\u2014that the hardware or software could change before next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Apple\u2019s WWDC23, I think I saw the future.
