Twenty-four years ago, the surgeon Santiago Horgan performed the first robotically assisted gastric-bypass surgery in the world. Now Horgan is working with a new tool that could be even more transformative in operating rooms: the Apple Vision Pro. Over the last month, Horgan and other surgeons at the University of California, San Diego have performed…
At the launch of the Vision Pro, Apple did not use the term Metaverse to describe its headset. Indeed, Apple used a different term, spatial computing, to explain its vision of a virtual world and mixed reality. Once you have tried Vision Pro, you can see that it is a transformational product. It has the…
We now know that Apple, which wants to play a significant role in creating a mixed-reality experience, instead decided to do a “moonshot” product first. While the Vision Pro is not selling in huge numbers, mostly due to its $3500 price tag, it may not be the product that helps Apple bring AR/MR to the…
I watched with mild amusement as Vision Pro naysayers began talking about Vision Pro’s slow sales, how many who have used it at first are barely using it now, and that it is destined to be a failure. I say, mildly amused since this refrain pops up every time Apple breaks new ground. Apple was…

For most millennials and Gen Z PC users, their only PC interface is based on a graphical user interface popularized on the Mac.

When Apple introduced the Vision Pro in the fall of 2023, one of the demos they showed was how users can view concerts and music venues in a more visually immersive experience. The example they showed was a rehearsal session of Alicia Keys and her musicians, and it puts you in the center of the…
Since Apple shipped the Vision Pro in February, Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has made interesting and highly controversial observations and comments about it. I understand Zuckerberg has to champion his device, but stating that the Quest is a “better product” is quite a stretch. I have been using Vision Pro for a while now and…
Now that I have had time to use the Vision Pro and do some 3D spatial videos on it, I believe this will be one of the killer apps that, in some cases, justify its high price. Spatial recording of family gatherings, events, etc., puts you and those in the same scene or environment in…
