Apple’s Dino Demo is Incredible, the rest 🤷‍♀️

I watched Leo’s “Apple Vision Pro Unboxing & Hands-On – Apple Vision Pro Hands-On”

I was unimpressed with 90% of the content until they showed the Dino Demo. That blew me away. That Dino demo seems to hint at what it may be like in 10 to 20 years using AR/VR.

IMHO AVP is in the “Doom” December 10, 1993 experience. Maybe in 10 to 20 years, we may be in the “Allan Wake 2” era. October 27, 2023.

What is hilarious is Mike and Leo are expressing “rationalization” throughout the entire experience/video. Not even 20 minutes in Mike was complaining of head pressure discomfort.

AVP’s engagement with productivity and media consumption apps seems like you are somewhat impaired trying to do the mundane simple things such as: “open/play/close” we can easily do on phones and laptops.

However, generally, I don’t quite get the concept of this heavy obstructive headset on a head that adds this extra abstraction layer between you and the machine. I don’t get the appeal outside novelty. Why would anyone want to use this instead of a laptop and a phone?

For myself, I avoid typing on screens, and many do. I think touch screens are arguably more connectively tactile than APV could ever be. That said, even today, touchscreens aren’t a universal thing they have mastered and are not globally the primary preferred input, phones make us use it. That connective tactile experience while using devices is essential.

To me, the Apple Vision Pro experience seems as if you had six glasses of wine trying to unlock your front door coming home from a night out. Those aren’t good experiences for me. I guess some people enjoy that, but for me, no thanks.
