Episode 37 – Apple vision pro launch | The good, the bad and the ugly (12 min)

There’s no wifi in the forest, but I promise you’ll find a better connection.

Just this last week (early-June 2023), Apple released a video introducing The Apple Vision Pro.

It is a first-generation AR/VR headset, and Apple claims that with this device, the era of spatial computing is here. They claim this to be a life-changing technology.

In this episode of The Unlearning Playground podcast, I decided to record my first impressions about this new device, which is a part of a booming field in technology now – Augmented reality and Virtual reality. My thoughts are divided into three broad categories – the good, the bad & the ugly.

I think what you are about to consume in this episode would serve to be a contrarian viewpoint, when compared to most other videos out there on the internet about the apple vision pro.

Also, consider it to be a genuine request from my side, I want you to stay with me till the ugly part of this episode. That is where the real nectar lies. Trust me.

Apple released a launch video for the apple vision pro just last week, and I could see 3 ways of thinking about it that are contrarian to what is the general theme of discussions I see happening around it. So, in this episode of The Unlearning Playground podcast, I, Chetan Narang, talk about this new "life-changing" technology and the good, the bad and the ugly parts of it.
