"The new era of spatial computing has arrived." Our first episode of 2024 brings you a readout of last week's proclamation from Apple CEO, Tim Cook on the news of the highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro launch, which is just hours away from pre-sale, on Friday January 19th at 5am pacific. Vision Pro will be available in the U.S. on February 2nd.
Are you walking up at 5AM tomorrow to pre-order? We are! (hopefully...)
What does the Vision Pro mean for early adopters, creators and consumers? If you're wondering why you need a $3,500 wearable computer, this episode is for you. And if you're already convinced, let's celebrate and welcome spatial computing to the AI, AR, VR, XR, Metaverse family.
We'll have more reflections on the pre-order and dig deeper into developer documentation later this weekend. We can't wait!
Until then, happy spatial computing
