If you, like me, grew up loving the sci-fi genre in film and television, you’d remember seeing spatial computers being operated by scientists in brightly lit, sterile environments and dreaming of the day you’ll be able to experience using one. A more contemporary example would be Letitia Wright as Shuri in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), using her vibranium-powered computers and wearable devices to do everything from searching the internet and making video calls to designing superhero outfits. Now, with the Apple Vision Pro, you’ll be able to do all these and more.
I’ve been covering tech from a lifestyle angle for some years now, and I do get a bit sceptical about new launches from time to time. I must admit that I’ve never been wowed the way I was when I first tried the Apple Vision Pro in Cupertino last month. It was my first time using a spatial computer, and it didn’t disappoint. It takes a couple of minutes to get used to wearing the Apple Vision Pro and learning how to navigate it, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes completely intuitive; unlocking a whole new frontier of computing, connectivity, and creativity.
