In the all-new App Store, Vision Pro already has over 600 third-party app experiences for users to explore, including OpenAI's ChatGPT.
You don't have to be afraid of spicy eyes when you cut onions, you don't have to worry about soiling your keyboard when you eat fritters, and you don't have to be afraid of boredom when vacuuming...... Who would have thought that it would be the Apple Vision Pro that solves so many problems at once.
This past day, the first users have already gotten their Vision Pro from Apple stores, and the first to walk out with it has even enjoyed the treatment of a star.
On this day, Apple CEO Tim Cook was also present in person to open the door for those who picked up the goods.
Some say that the buyer's mindset now looks like this:
Because you choose the wrong way to pick up the goods, you can't get it and you can only wait, even if you are a tech guru Andrej Karpathy.
Of course, happiness can also be sad.
As more and more users get their hands on the real device, the possibilities of Vision Pro are gradually unlocked. Someone watched a musty live meeting the first time they got it, and now the movie tickets are saved.
As predicted when the Vision Pro was first released, the biggest advantage of this headset may not be the hardware, but the developer ecosystem. Building on hardware such as iOS and iPadOS, Vision Pro's ecosystem has a clear advantage: developers can build immersive AR and VR experiences for Vision Pro using frameworks already available on iOS and iPadOS – SwiftUI, RealityKit, and ARKit. This is unmatched by other VR vendors.
It is understood that in the new App Store, Vision Pro already has more than 600 third-party app experiences for users to explore, including OpenAI's ChatGPT.
In the end, which apps are more outstanding, everyone can experience it slowly after getting the goods, but those users who opened the box early can't wait to start sharing.
For example, this user uses the Tesla app with the Apple Vision Pro, which instantly turns into a phone key that allows you to operate the car in the air:
You don't need a device to play the game:
It also allows you to play classic games such as chess, cards, etc., so it seems that having a Vision Pro will save you money on equipment in the future:
With JigSpace, an interactive 3D presentation app, users can showcase their products anytime, anywhere, regardless of physical limitations:
Vision Pro acts as your translator, translating speech into English in real-time with subtitles, all by adding a Navi program:
Interact with the little monster, when you touch the little monster's eyes, it will squint like a real animal, this function is made possible by Lumo:
If you are idle, you can play with 3D puzzles and build yourself a beautiful castle:
Wearing the Vision Pro allows you to experience different scenery, such as sharks swimming in the Colosseum:
Those who want to see a property don't have to be there in person, with Vision Pro, you can see the property in all directions, even the surroundings of the house:
Vision Pro also lets you experience DJ binge like never before, DJing live, dancing to music, picking records, and more:
With the Apple TV app, users can also experience more than 200 of these 3D movies:
However, not all app vendors are optimistic about Vision Pro. In a recent interview, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said the company doesn't plan to develop the Vision Pro app at this time because the device is "too small" and "not particularly relevant" to most Netflix members. He also said that Netflix needs to spend money carefully to ensure that resources are not invested in areas where there is no return.
There are also media apps like YouTube that don't have a Vision Pro app. However, one developer said he made one himself.
Even people who didn't buy Vision Pro came to support it, maybe this is Apple's ecological appeal.
Of course, judging from the current evaluation results, the Vision Pro still has some "flaws", such as the headset is too heavy, uncomfortable to wear for a long time, the battery life is not long enough, the range of activity is limited when plugged in, the virtual keyboard is inconvenient to click, the field of view is small, and the picture has a black frame, etc. These questions beg the question: When this wave of enthusiasm subsides, will those who have already bought the Vision Pro let the device run out of dust on their shelves?
But one thing is undeniable, and that is that current virtual reality devices are getting better and better. In a 2017 article, AI guru Andrej Karpathy described trying on a VR headset in the '90s and said it was a terrible process.
At the time, what he saw from the headset looked something like this:
But now, the picture he sees will look like this:
Karpathy says that while there isn't a headset that he can use on a day-to-day basis, he won't give up trying these new products because one day they'll be great.
The good news is that his delivery is already on its way.
