Express IT Group’s Post

Trundled up to Apple on my lunch break for a demo of the Vision Pro. Pros: - Visual quality (screens and video pass through) is INCREDIBLE and the best I’ve seen in any headset - Spacial photos and videos are fantastic and feel like Star Wars holograms (except not blue and glitchy) - Apple’s done what they do best and created a super intuitive interface that feels natural. Eye tracking is pin sharp. Cons: - it’s too heavy, too bulky, the battery life is shite and it’s waaaaay too expensive for consumers. i.e all short-term problems. In short - a stunning dev kit with some genuinely incredible technology. Can’t wait for all this tech to trickle down to a lighter, cheaper version in a few years.

I don't think the Apple Vision Pro is a flop. This is the start, I've been using and developing for this device constantly since the Australian release. And it's only been getting better every month since. Sure the hype may have died down, but it hasn't stopped the software from improving. visionOS 2 shows that Apple does listen to (some of) the feedback and they have added many requested features. (I still want a lot more!) Some of the new features I really like are: 1. Navigating home and opening the control centre is significantly improved with gestures (looking to the top of the screen in visionOS 1 was really uncomfortable!) 2. SharePlay for Photos - this is killer (Yes the spatial persona's do look a bit odd) but viewing the spatial photos with someone on a FaceTime call not even in the same country is wild. It's like looking into a portal and then discussing it with someone who is in your room but not in your room. 3. Watching YouTube and Netflix in Safari gets quite a bit better with the ability to watch videos in the immersive environments. I still agree with most of the criticisms on this device and wouldn't recommend most people buy it just yet. (Unless you are a developer or really enjoy exploring early tech!) (Video is of an STL viewing app that I built because I really wanted to preview 3D printer files!) P.S. Keen to hear what are your thoughts? Have you tried the AVP?

🔍🚀 Exploring Tech Innovation: From Unknown Problems to Breakthroughs! 📱✨ Technology often addresses unknown problems, like the Xerox machine that seemed unneeded but expanded possibilities beyond copying. Similarly, the iPhone introduced non-essential features like larger screens and games. Companies tackling unimagined issues or catering to existing needs require distinct funding and marketing strategies. 💡💼 Watch the full video here: https://buff.ly/3TNNGFr #TechInnovation #ProblemSolving #Breakthroughs 🌟📱 #XeroxMachine #iPhoneEvolution #InnovationJourney 🔍🚀 #FundingStrategies #MarketingStrategies #TechStartups

Innovative technology is impressive, but its true success comes from how easy it is for people to use. The iPhone and iPod became widely popular not just because they were advanced, but because they were designed to be user-friendly. 📱 The most impactful innovations are those that make complex technology accessible and practical for everyday use. A great product doesn’t just offer new features—it also simplifies and improves upon existing technology, making it more usable for everyone. 🌟 #quoteoftheday #codener #quotes #quotesoftheday #quoteoftheweek #quotesforyou #quotefortheday #technology 

How many times have I talked about post-reality? At Sketchin we asked our great Fabrizio Goglia to sketch the topic ‘post-smartphone era’. He replied as follows: This super-silly gag sketched out on the fly is just an excuse to spotlight a micro-detail of the ‘post-smartphone era’ macro-topic, focusing on the unpredictably but also savvy use of technology by people. A girl in 2044 experiences Augmented Reality by scrolling memes through a replication of a 2024 social network; a boy uses a 2019 Apple Mac to play a 1989 Game Boy video game; this same drawing, sketched digitally and then created with cheap markers and adhesive screentone sheets survived from the '80s. All these hints show how people’s use of technology can be simply unpredictable or just for fun dysfunctional, like using smartphone posts scrolling in AR, thereby altering the expectation of linearity in the interaction between people and machines. #sketchin #tech #immersive #critical
