The Apple Vision Pro might Change the industry.

The long-awaited Vision Pro recently graced Apple's shelves across the US. Historically, pivotal devices have reshaped our lives, with many attributed to Apple, such as Steve Jobs' revolutionary iPhone. Today, there's a growing sentiment that the Apple Vision could mark another transformative moment in the tech sphere. Just envision the possibilities of experiencing this anywhere, simply by donning a headset.

This marks a potential turning point for the entire tech industry. Despite efforts from companies like Meta and Samsung, augmented, virtual, and mixed reality headsets have largely remained novelty gadgets for gamers. Apple aims to disrupt this trend by positioning the Vision Pro as an essential tool for work and play, heralding an era of "spatial computing" where users engage in 3D virtual environments akin to Tony Stark in his garage.

Preorders suggest Apple may have already sold around 180,000 headsets, with an expected total of 400,000 units sold this year, amounting to $1.4 billion in sales.

Using the Vision Pro

The headset boasts 600 specialized apps but notably lacks access to Meta, Netflix, Spotify, Google, and YouTube. Despite this, Avatar director James Cameron described his demo as a "religious" experience, while early reviewers expressed awe alongside some concerns:

Pros: The 23-million-pixel visuals, especially in the immersive content and theater mode, received praise from John Gruber. Navigating screens with eye movements was highlighted as a cool feature by Casey Newton.

Cons: Criticisms include the virtual keyboard, cumbersome battery pack, solitary use design, potential impact on productivity, and its weight (heavier than an 11-inch iPad Pro, as noted by The Verge). and its $3.5k (over Ksh 550,000). cost

 After experiencing the Vision Pro, some reviewers found their conventional 2D devices feeling outdated.
