  • Testing out Mac ultra wide display mirror on Apple Vision Pro

    I have been using this feature since the first day since the visionOS 2.2 beta became available. I have to say it works great on the MacBook Pro (M3 Max). A feature not mentioned in this article is that the visual sharpness of text in the Virtual Mac Display is considerably improved (compared to the earlier version of the Mac Virtual Display).

    As this is in beta, not yet everything is fully in place. The background environments, when enabled, become fully opaque; so you can't see your physical keyboard as you are typing. So for now, I allow the pass-through.

    For the future, I do hope that Apple will further integrate the AVP interface with the virtual desktop. I found myself wanting to interact with the virtual Mac desktop and apps as if they were running from the AVP using hand gestures instead rather than being limited to mouse and trackpad. It would be very compelling and intuitive to have a user experience where the desktop and Vision Pro seamlessly functions as a unified environment. 

    In any case, when traveling with the MBP I would be hard pressed not to take the AVP.

  • So far, Apple is struggling to market Apple Vision Pro

    In introducing the AVP, Apple accomplished two things:
    1. They shifted the paradigm for spatial computing and immersive user experiences. The the rest of the industry will be obliged to follow.
    2. The polished experience they created (both in terms of design and the mix of technology) is hard to recreate. Their rivals will struggle to match Apple for over the next couple of years.

  • Apple sells up to 180,000 Apple Vision Pro, says Kuo


    Again based on his unspecified inventory calculations, Kuo points out that with a "user base of over 1.2 billion active users... as long as about 0.007% of users are willing to buy... Vision Pro can sell out after opening for pre-order."



    1.2B active users in the US........?
    Graham raises a good point. There are certainly not 1.5B active users in the US. We must remind ourselves that the AVP pre-order launch was limited to only the United States. So, if Apple sold 160K - 180K over this initial launch with only sales to the US, it may bode well for world-wide sales

  • Apple AR, VR operating system now called 'xrOS'

    One possible reason Apple may be opting to use xrOS is to avoid confusion with ROS - the well established open source framework for Robotics.

  • Rewind app wants your Mac to record every moment of your life

    I can imagine this could become a legal landmine when running on any device that has applications that require HIPPA Compliance.
