Even though we knew it was coming, gadget fans were still head over heels when Apple announced its augmented reality headset yesterday. Called the Vision Pro – and selling for a whopping US$3,499 – the headset allows you to immerse yourself in virtual reality and project apps onto the world around you. One influential tech writer called Apple’s fancy ski goggles “the best headset demo ever” and “wildly superior” to other headsets in the market (like Meta’s Quest models). But Apple’s entry into the headset space comes at an awkward time, with Meta scaling back its so-called metaverse (aka virtual reality) project and global headset sales dropping 54% last year. Tech watchers point out that we don’t yet know what these headsets are for and that Apple needs outside developers to make a “killer app” to bring the Vision Pro to life. Also announced by Apple: better autocorrect. Thank duck…
