Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.

New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We have the collective power to stop tech that doesn’t serve us.

Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.

Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.

Had my library 3D print the @christianselig stand. Learned a lot about 3D printing and think I spent an hour removing supports. That said looks great. Just need a dowel now.

What if you never ever had to put your phone down? Ever?

Eddy Burback's "Apple's $3500 Nightmare" video essay is ridiculous, absurdist, and amazing. Low key humor exploring the dystopian nightmare that VR/AR is ushering in for... reasons?

If you are interested in, less about a tech review, and more about what tech like the Vision Pro mean for humans I recommend giving it a view.

There’s a new way to browse Apple’s App Store for its Apple Vision Pro. On Apple’s website, you can now find a dedicated “App Store for Apple Vision Pro” page with all the details about visionOS apps. 9to5mac has more: https://flip.it/Q7R53r

@macrumors Au(stralian) English is just A(mercian) English with some additional U’s thrown in - prove me wrong!

The hype around Apple Vision Pro seems to have faded since its launch. It could be that people are finding it less practical and more cumbersome than they expected.

@nixCraft SO happy to see that for once, Apple suffers at the Peak of Inflated Expectations rather than just scraping of everyone else's accomplishments, ideas and laid-off workers in the Trough of Disillusionment and making big bucks on the Plateau of Productivity

Today forScore arrives on its fourth platform: visionOS! Redesigning the sheet music reading experience for Vision Pro was a really fun challenge and I'm very proud of where things ended up.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped me beta test it—I think this is the start of something really special and I'm glad you could be a part of it.

The tech press is lauding Apple for delivering on its Vision Pro headset. But using the $3,500 goggles may rewire our brains in unexpected ways. Here’s more from Business Insider. https://flip.it/mCZjtC

At nearly $3,500, the much-hyped Apple Vision Pro headset may not be for everyone, but it has begun arriving to the people who pre-ordered it. It’s also available for those who want to give it a test drive. Here’s more from Tech Crunch, including their first impressions of the AR/VR headset. https://flip.it/N_kyVF

Welp - in case you needed another reason to be terrified of other drivers. The inevitable… people driving with their Vision Pro devices.

Apple’s Vision Pro is a visionless product that only exists to placate investors and try to show the company can still innovate under Tim Cook.

The headset demonstrates just how much Apple lost its way after a decade of putting the share price above everything else.

Due to its astronomical price tag the is as far removed from affordability as any device has been for a long time. So, no software for a loong time… 🤷🏻‍♂️

The reviews are in for the and we now know that you can't share what you are seeing in the headset. That to me immediately disqualifies it as a "Spatial Computing" device.

If you look at Dynamicland's website (the OG spatial computing system): https://dynamicland.org/

the very first benefit of Spatial Computing is communal collaboration.

    People might sign up for a two hour commute to immerse in virtual, interactive, intense world with colleagues.

    Property managers with VisionPros and holotile can market people going on a virtual walk-and-talk with their boss during a 1:1.

    Can’t do that WFH, wouldn’t want to, and couldn’t afford it.
