When Apple unveiled the price-tag for the Vision Pro there were groans aplenty from those watching on big screens. Not a great litmus test for whether it’s worth the money.

It’s the same smart compose tech that Google uses in Gmail, and based on a GIF in a blog post, it indeed looks as if it will work just like you might be used to already while writing an email. Wonder if Slack will get this someday.

I’ve been wondering for weeks what term Apple would land on: AR? VR? Mixed reality? Something else? Based on this teaser for a Good Morning America interview airing tomorrow, it sounds like Cook’s term of choice is “spatial computing.” We heard it a few times in the keynote today, and I suspect we’re going to hear it a lot more going forward. A lot more.

We’ll have much more, including hands-on reactions to the new Vision Pro, to come. Stay tuned.

Apple’s WWDC State of the Union is giving us more details about how developers can work with visionOS. That includes confirmation that Unity apps are supposed to run easily on the Vision Pro — including alongside other, non-Unity apps.

I’m still waiting for the Verge ground team’s impressions of the new Apple Vision Pro and visionOS — but seriously, I’m glad those name rumors were wrong.

We’ll hopefully soon have reports from journalists who’ve actually tried it — but no headset has yet delivered a “you can see whatever you’d see with your eyes” panoramic experience.

Never keeps ‘em from producing these marketing renders to make it seem like they do. Microsoft’s first HoloLens was a particularly bad offender: with VR instead of AR tech, Apple’s FOV should be much better.

Fortnite’s current cyberpunk-themed season is ending soon, and Epic is already teasing what’s next: a season dubbed “Wilds,” which kicks off on June 9th. Better use those web shooters while you still can.

Ready to slap some virtual 4K screens on your face? That’s the price when Apple’s Vision Pro headset is available “early next year” in the US via Apple Stores and Apple.com. More countries will join the last “later in the year.”

Now we’ve seen some pictures of Apple’s Vision Pro headset, complete with the rumored display that can show the user’s eyes to indicate they’re in mixed reality and not screened off in a private virtual reality.

What are your first impressions? Tasteful or creepy.

One of the new features in macOS Sonoma (which should come in handy once Death Stranding launches on the platform) is the ability to enable “Game mode” to prioritize gaming on the Apple Silicon CPU and GPU, along with lowered audio latency on AirPods and doubled BT sampling rate on Xbox and PS controllers.

The idea is to make it easier to connect to things like a hotel’s Wi-Fi network right from your iPhone. Seems really handy — assuming hotels actually decide to take advantage of it.

Sigma Chain also engaged in wash trading on or around the time when BAM Trading made at least 65 new crypto assets, including crypto asset securities, available for trading on the Binance.US Platform. Between January 1, 2022 and June 23, 2022 alone, Sigma Chain accounts engaged in wash trading in 48 of 51 newly listed crypto assets.

Nothing more to say, really.
