It’s been just over a week since the Apple Vision Pro went on sale, a device that already had a lot to say, and this promises to maintain this pace at least in the short term. The device presented at WWDC 2023, which we are still not sure whether to define as a spatial computer, as an augmented/mixed reality viewer or as a mixture of both, is without a doubt one of the sensations of the moment, and who more and who less , practically all of us feel a natural curiosity about user experience.

Shortly before going on sale, we could already see the first reviews in the American media (remember that initially it went on sale only in the United States) and that, In general, opinions are positive. There are aspects that need to be improved, but let’s remember that we are talking about the first generation of a hugely innovative device, to the point where we can almost consider it a “public beta” (going through the checkout, yes), but it was undoubtedly quite a debut, a worthy one, and it points to an even more promising future.

These days, and as we could already imagine, The first videos of Apple Vision Pro users began to circulate on the Internet using your new device on the street. Whether it is walking, traveling on public transport or, and this seems to me typical of Darwin’s prices, using the device at a time when they were circulating (that is, in the role of a driver) with vehicles with autonomous driving functions (mainly Tesla models).

Fortunately, the latter have been of particular interest to law enforcement, as we’ve already seen some of these fools (and I know I’m falling behind on this definition) apprehended by them, but not the rest. They also seem to get away with crime. the center of public attention. So according to The Daily Mail Apple Vision Pro users feel harassed by curious people when they go out with the device. However, we are not talking about harassment, but about a constellation of people who, full of curiosity, bombard them with questions.

I understand your position, of course., I understand that it can be annoying to be stopped on the street (or getting on public transport) and asked for a complete interrogation about the device you use. However, I also find it hard to empathize with the overwhelming curiosity that I understand many people feel about the Apple Vision Pro.

Very early in the first decade of this century I was self-medicating, I bought an iPAQ (when it was still from Compaq) and more than once, when I used it in public places, the device attracted the interest of strangers who . On many occasions I was asked, what is it. And yes, it’s true that they occasionally interrupted me in what I was doing, but in all cases I was able to quickly resolve their doubts and get back to my work. My understanding is that Apple Vision Pro users will have no other option, I’m afraid.at least until these types of devices become widespread enough (if they ever are, of course) that mere mortals begin to see them with the same normalcy that we now see a smartphone or tablet.
