It would be irresponsible to pass over this 9-minute promotional video without comment. And I have to say, it's an impressive presentation, and though I can't imagine being one of the scuba people at the grocery store (to borrow a phrase) I can imagine wanting for video games and entertainment. Still - there's plenty to criticize. As Rusty Foster says, "Tim Apple introduced the most technologically advanced product ever created for viewing and annotating PDF documents." And as Alex Dobrenko says, "they at Apple R Us fundamentally misunderstand what, idk, being human is?" How? Well, like this: "'Your eyes are a critical indicator of connection and emotion,' Apple said. 'So Vision Pro displays your eyes when someone is nearby.' ... There is no less human way to say 'eye contact is clutch' than (read in robot voice) 'your eyes are a critical indicator of connection and emotion.'" So, maybe Apple Vision Pro is another Google Glass. But sooner or later, someone will get this right.
