Episode notes
Vision Pro: A Dev Kit?
- Oleg Stavitsky used Apple Vision Pro extensively while developing Endel for it, finding it heavy and tiring.
- It left marks on his face after short periods, leading to a joke about Apple selling a glorified dev kit.
Limited Content Library
- Apple Vision Pro's initial content library is limited, with few new immersive videos released since launch.
- This raises questions about content release frequency and the device's long-term entertainment value beyond basic media consumption.
Daily Use and Immersion
- Brian Cho uses Vision Pro daily for media consumption, especially movies, finding its screen superior to OLED.
- He appreciates the lack of controllers and the immersive experience, particularly with IMAX 3D films like Dune.
