The Vision Pro Will Get Apple Intelligence, 'Go Deeper' In-Store Demos 17

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to add its "Apple Intelligence" AI features to visionOS and update its approach to in-store demos of the headset. The Verge reports: The company is adding a new "Go Deeper" option to its in-store demos, Gurman writes. That reportedly includes testing office features and watching videos, as well as defaulting to the Dual Loop band that sends straps over the top and around the back of wearers' heads instead of the single-strap Solo Loop band, which some find uncomfortable. Apple will also reportedly let people view their own videos and photos, including panoramas, in the headset. Adding the sentimental touch to the demos could work out, especially once visionOS 2 comes out this fall, with its "spatialize" option to turn 2D photos into 3D ones -- a feature that's more impressive than it has the right to be (though still a little quirky with hair and glasses, like Apple's Portrait Mode feature).

    Apple simply can't compete in the VR market at those prices - or even at half their current price.

      apple doesn't compete. this crap in particular won't be released in europe in time precisely because they don't want to compete, but want exclusive control of their sheeple.

      if you look at the vision pro, it couldn't compete with any other vr headset in the market even if they wanted to because i is completely out of bounds in every aspect. they have deliberately made their product outside of any parameter range of the current vr market. they are not competing, they are "innovating", with a seemingly useless

  • Good luck Apple but I don't see this being a success. Too bulky, too expensive, too much Apple, no killer apps.

  • Apple annouces a better demo.

    will come out .. probably at some time in the future....

    wow. so innovative.
  • Now there's a oxymoron
  • Serious questions:

    What is "Apple Intelligence"? Wikipedia says it's an AI "platform." Is it a LLM? Maybe some other model. Maybe not a specific model but an architecture or platform that uses AI models. Maybe something else?

    What does "get" mean in terms of the Vision Pro "getting" Apple Intelligence?

    This seems very nebulous, especially for Apple, which has gained a reputation for taking existing technologies and designing, packaging, and explaining in ways that common "get" and can use easily. In this

    • It doesn't mean anything in particular, so they can continually change what they decide it means.

      People willing to spend the price of a used car on some goggles have already demonstrated a willingness to go where they are leading, so why not experiment on them? They're a focus group that is paying for the privilege instead of the other way around. That's what Apple's high price tag selected for.
