Now, I must confess, I’m not as tech-savvy as Ian, but I know greatness when I experience it firsthand

Spatial audio is what really sucked me in.

The 4-Dimensional sound, assembled in absolute sync with the movements, augmented all my senses…without any invasive ear-plug. Astonishing!

But wait! The magic did not stop here.

Ian actually joined me…on Facetime!

I found myself conversing with a highly rich-rendered 3D model of  my friend; a persona that flawlessly captured every physical and facial expression. 

“Let me show you something” he whispered…

I jumped when I heard the pristine notes of a piano filling the air.

In fact, I recognized Alicia Key’s piano!

Yes! Alicia Keys was playing just before my eyes and ears. The quality, intimacy, proximity, and warmth of the sound were unparalleled.

I rediscovered the song and the Artist.

Each note was resonating within me like a singular sensorial phenomenon.

I was floored.

Now, I may sound like an ecstatic child who just experienced the ride of a lifetime, but I can’t help it. This is genuinely how I feel. You deserve to experience this for yourself. 

We’re witnessing the first time ever users where users can seamlessly merge their physical and digital lives…

That’s a profound paradigm shift. That’s the Future.

And the creators of this window to the Future have forged the ultimate legacy :

They redefined the Law of Physics by condensing the Present and the Future. 

Here’s how.

With 23 sensors and 23 million pixels catalyzing hypnotic experiences, one might be lead to believe in a irreconcilable rift between real life and the digital realm. A permanent disconnect between both worlds.

If you’ve ever seen movies like “The Matrix” or “Ready Player One,” you’ll understand what I mean.

Fear not!

With Vision Pro’s outward-facing interface, you remain in full control.

This brilliant feature achieves the surprising superposition of the Present and the Future.

I can have natural, normal interactions with people in my physical world while evolving in the digital one. I am visible, accessible, and physically present in my environment at any time, all thanks to the magic of the lenticular system. No other headset can offer such an experience.

Apple Vision Pro doesn’t exclude my physical world, it smoothly blends me into the Future. That’s not a claim. That’s a statement! A visionary statement.

And I know…there have been a lot of “discussions” about the price of this particular statement. Let’s talk about it.

Credit: Apple

Now, Let me be very open here.

I think Apple could have done a better job when trying to “rationalize” the price point.

If I recall correctly, they built a story line around the original McIntosh – released almost 40 years ago –at $2500 which, adjusted for inflation, equates to $7300 today.

Yes. Absolutely true and economically correct! But so what?!
I guess this doesn’t fully resonate with everyone, especially in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. Maybe you’re with me on this…

What’s more, comparing Vision Pro to a more expensive yet possibly less advanced product like Varjo-XR3 didn’t strike a chord with me (contrary to Alicia Key’s piano). We all recognize the amazing products Apple creates, but this marketing angle of isolating, magnifying, and contrasting a feature against a competitor is not what we’ve come to expect.

What really  convinced me to take out my credit card is that Vision Pro embodies one of those rare, disruptive and visionary moments in a lifetime when you feel proud to be and THINK different.Our world is changing. Do you think Different?

And do you keep thinking Different?

As a convinced user now, I wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a try, keeping in mind that this is just the first version of its kind.

Embrace the future with Vision Pro today.

Don’t settle for anything less than the extraordinary.

To your vision, to your future.
