Wow, a Vision Pro article from 24 hours ago can't even break 30 comments. The YouTube TV article from today had double that number. Even with all the money spent on influencers, getting this on morning shows and advertising they just can't drum up any real interest.

It is a bit different if you are talking about looking back at your own footage I suppose. I was also thinking about the difference between just sitting in an armchair compared with going there and the interactions with people, food, smells, the sun or rain or snow on you face, the unexpected adventure that the missed train led to, funny or even frightening experiences that were not filmed etc. Memories of all sorts...

Not necessarily just looking at my own footage. I was at Victoria Falls during the dry season so there was very little water flowing over the falls. Now I can see what it is like when in full flow when the mist doesn't cover everything. Same for places which I haven't yet been able to see. But I am very visually oriented so possibly that's why I can transport myself to new locations in the VP so easily.

Yes, the people, foods, smells, experiences such as getting redirected by the KGB in Moscow are also good memories.

Either that or is this really boring news with little or no impact to the majority of folks (no disrespect to Australia, Japan, or China)? if you already have an AVP what did you learn that will impact your use? nada. And the haters are getting bored, though apparently not all of them, and looking for other issues to snark, like the DOJ, or EU, or Micro-LED.

But sure, go with lack of interest in general.

I see... It is a bit different if you are talking about looking back at your own footage I suppose. I was also thinking about the difference between just sitting in an armchair compared with going there and the interactions with people, food, smells, the sun or rain or snow on you face, the unexpected adventure that the missed train led to, funny or even frightening experiences that were not filmed etc. Memories of all sorts..

The other night going out to eat Sushi, my wife ordered karaage and I laughed at her. I said that was like going to a seafood place and ordering steak. And she said that it took her back to when we were visiting Japan, and I was at my conference, she would buy karaage from a street vendor and sit in the park and eat it. So she sat there here in the USA and enjoyed her karaage and memories.

Point being, no duh she would have preferred to have actually gone to Japan again at that moment, but until teleportation becomes a thing, sometimes we enjoy what we can. How poetic to say you enjoy interacting with the people, the food, the smells and blah blah on your face, but meaningless because comparison is not the point, you can't possibly go to every spot on the globe every moment you want to. That doesn't take away from the experiences other devices and means can bring to you.

My AVP moment is reliving memories of places I can't easily return to in form of the panoramas I took while there. A cabin in Maine overlooking the bay at sunset, too cold now even if I could. Top of a skyscraper in Japan while enjoying breakfast with my wife (window seat). The bow of a cruise ship at Grand Cayman. The AVP is by far the superior device for all that. I can taste the salt air, feel the wind in my hair, and smell my breakfast from reliving the visuals.

Owning a AVP wont stop me from going back to those places when I can, you are right, better to be there in person, but it takes me there when I cant go in person. Simple concept, though less poetic.

Hours daily. I am continually amazed at the technology in the VP and how they have implemented it. It has its flaws (weight, glare) but for me they are insignificant compared to the pluses. When you moving out of an immersive environment it starts coming back at your lap first so you can see things like a keyboard.

6. Explore the constellations. Grab one out of the night sky to know more about it with SkyGuide

9. Convert your old photos into 3D ones with Spacial Media Toolkit. Just a start but shows what can be done.

I've been enjoying and learning from Sky Guide Pro for a couple weeks. There's no way to identify an object by pointing to it, but that would be nearly impossible given their number and how closely spaced they are. The app would also benefit from a shared experience, where someone else using an AVP or even the iPad app could point to sky objects with the laser pointer. I'd also like to see guided tours, much like a real planetarium.

Spatial Media Toolkit is impressive, too. It does a great job converting 2D photos to spatial images with a 3D effect. I tried it with a bunch of old shots today and it made a significant difference.
