Side Project Spotlight

The long awaited launch of Vision Pro is here and the Trio are in a festive mood. In this episode, we have a fun time reviewing some of the hands-on impressions and speculate about the kinds of apps we will see in this first generation of "spatial computing." Most launch apps will probably be iPad apps and there have been some salty takes on the InterWebs about streaming platforms not supporting the device on day one, but we think they probably have some good reasons to be cautious. Kotaro brings up the immersion possibilities of haptics and Spatial Audio. Plus, we talk about a variety of confirmed and speculative app categories that may be coming to the platform from Fruit Ninja to DJ-ing without records to, dare we dream, DDR? Plus, we think some kinds of live events may be excellent targets for Vision Pro. Finally, the digital eyes are still goofy and Steve may want to get his own eyes checked before he schedules a demo. This episode is a breezy, fun, nerdy, good time. Afterwards, why don't you come over to the PhillyCocoa Slack and keep the party going with your own impressions, link can be found at phillycocoa.org/slack.
