Vision Pro from a Developer's Perspective 

Definitely agree. Many, many videos out there all saying the same thing.

Same

True, but the "layman's" impressions will provide strong indication of future demand.

@@gnarfgnarf4004 Absolutely! Repeated interpretation of the Keynote by the mainstream media is essential for raising awareness of the product with the wider population, who don’t watch WWDC keynotes.

i absolutely agree 👍👍 it was so in depth, experience-wise, that it just felt like i had just used it myself. this man knows how to explain experiences. other reviewers kind of parroted each other, and used the demo clips etc. to back up what they were saying, but this was just like a mate down the pub telling us so much about some great experience he had. Easily the best review. I'm a new sub to this channel, fo' sure

I’m so annoyed… I was about to post the same thing. You’re doing the lord’s work. Bravo…. Bravo indeed.

@@joshgoblewtf piss off. that shirt is so cool

Both break necks 😂❤

I'm wondering how many batteries does it need

He enjoys swift, so the shirt checks out.

ikr, it felt i was there with him, mad review, best

I’ve watched a select few, anyone who has tried it are blown away by the polish and attention to detail as well as the sheer potential; usually they will mention the price, but then Microsoft’s HoloLens starts at exactly the same price for a far less sophisticated device, and their “industrial” version is far more. I watched a video by Matti the filmmaker for a filmmaker’s perspective, and he was very emotional about the sheer potential based on his emotional response when he got to try it for the 30mins. Apart from sticker shock, I haven’t seen anyone who has tried it say anything more negative than it is heavy or the battery is limited to 2 hrs. I can see how people compare it to the iPhone 1, which got the same reaction; it is extremely expensive, and where are the apps? Who would want this? What can you do with it? If developers are excited for the possibilities, and it has built-in support for SwiftUI apps, I see huge potential, and Microsoft’s HoloLens just got Zuned. Nevermind Zuck’s Metaverse.

Notice a lot of them couldn’t make it sit right and feel comfortable? The strain on your neck will keep you from using it regularly, I promise. Such a shame too. Such a shiny prize at the end of the coal path.

@@alwaysyouramanda you promise that it'll strain our neck? you haven't used it, but you think it's right to promise to others an opinion based on other peoples opinions? you really should hold judgements until you know what's happening rather than parrot other people's opinion. i.e. think for yourself because, even though it might be scary, you'll be happier in the end

@@neanda It could be the most comfortable thing in the world, I would rather die than be sucked in to some meta / AR / VR hellhole.

Same here, maybe a course that’s designer friendly as well I’m trying to start designing with swift ui!

Me three. Add it to your HWS+ section to incentivize subscription.

Here here! Count me in!

I must have missed that bit? All Paul talked about was how great the demo was?

Yeah, it was my first concern too! I even contacted my optician back home after the keynote to get them to send over my prescription, just in case 😅

bro, he wasn't reviewing Aliens Vs Predator from a developer perspective r/whoosh

AVP=Alien Versus Predator.

that's a very interesting insight. it's like they were doing things that wouldn't have results for many years to come, and kept the plan in motion regardless. it's what people can do if they don't have to keep explaining their actions to short term investors. it's great that at least one tech company can do this. it's like scientists who are discovering things that don't have any immediate commercial value, but it may do later on, however, they still need to keep doing it, to progress us all

They haven’t sold ONE headset and your professing that their leaps and bands ahead of PSVR and meta Quest.

@@ThomasSunBorn The M2 processor inside is already out if you look closely you will see my comment about being leaps and bounds ahead was in reference to that.

that's mental, like it's so real that your brain and body believes it? omg, i would never play any skyscraper parkour game with this

It blows my mind a little when I think how far the iPhone or the iPad came in their first 10 years - the Vision Pro will shrink, gain battery life, and add new capabilities above and beyond what we're seeing right now.

R1 is not a secret sauce. Apple inspired the idea from Hololens which has a second special Chip, just for sensors and 3D world sensing management.

@@twostraws Unfortunately, this field, not happened much fast in the past decade. It will be another minimum of 3+ decades for easy wear and use. It is the laws of physics, current+ technology growth and even with AI, it is impossible for another 30+ years.

@@nooneknowsnothing lot of company still saying that it is impossible to build a chip like M1 (still no answer from any competitor), but it's already exists from 2020, ans we will get the M3 soon. There are peoples who think it's impossible, and don't even try it, and there are others who just show you it is already possible.

@@TamasKiss-yk4st Must have drank lots of cider juice in the Apple garden to believe about M1.

🤣 true, this was better than Apple's demo. this was like i was using it myself

No, it's not that - that experience is the "happy birthday" clip they played in the keynote. I was referring to what (IIRC!) is called Apple Immersive Video. I believe it's a 180-degree-view camera with high resolution and spatial audio, as opposed to using the headset. This was *not* shown during the keynote.

​@@twostraws Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification. It's still stereoscopic though, but with a wide field of view? Because I'd be surprised if they rendered a fully volumetric scene representation, like a Neural Radiance field ("NeRF") or similar at this resolution. That seems unrealistic even for the might of Apple Silicon at present.

@@ChrisOffner My guess (big guess!) is that it’s two cameras with wide field of view, stitched together using whatever latest and greatest algorithms Apple have come up with, plus spatial audio capture. It is genuinely significantly better that whatever is the Hollywood standard for 3D movies right now, but I could begin to explain the technical advancements it entails.

Looking at the cameras NextVR (who Apple acquired) bought they are using a combination of stereoscopic cameras with 360 degree cameras. That’s just what NextVR had announced before acquisition so that might have changed since. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple have a custom codec using concepts like NeRF, but it could also just be some form of multistream video that’s aligned on the headset. I’m a product and innovation manager these days rather than a developer though, so take my comments with a suitable grain of salt.

Many folks can use it just fine. Xcode's previews work great with visionOS!

They scanned my glasses to figure out my prescription, then slotted the correct lenses in for me; I guess they had prepared a whole bunch of left and right variations ahead of time. They did say for the real thing I'd want to get an exact prescription - i.e., hand them whatever my optician provides - to make sure I get something exact.

Creating what?

I just started a Swift app dev class that Im loving so far. Do you think it would be worth it for me to get one to learn how to make apps on it? Im highly considering it.

Yes.

The plan is the end of this month.

Honestly I can't even begin to imagine. Right now folks need to spend thousands of dollars to have devices able to read paperwork to them, but with Vision Pro's cameras plus OCR… it's just transformative in every way. I got to chat to the accessibility team who worked on Vision Pro, and they have been working so very hard to make this accessible to as many people as possible - it's really exciting stuff, and I can't wait to see what folks do with it.
