If everyone plays their cards right, the novelty of the AR medium is going to drive a huge boom in demand for creative content. Again, live art/etc. will never disappear but this is arguably more accessible and scalable

Don't forget that the AR medium will also be popular for personal content - your own videos and pictures www.inverse.com/tech/apple-v...
Reliving My Memories in Apple Vision Pro Almost Brought Me to Tears
Looking at spatial videos, panoramas, and regular photos and videos in Apple Vision Pro is going to be major selling point for the $3,500 spatial computer that comes out in early 2024.

From a go-to-market perspective, Apple would do well to expand Apple One. In my opinion, it's already a pretty good deal. Future versions should offer Vision Pro bundles to soften the upfront hardware cost www.apple.com/apple-one/
Apple One
Apple One bundles your Apple services into one low monthly payment. It’s the best way to enjoy Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, and more.

To be successful, Apple should launch an immersive content streaming platform with cross-platform compatibility like Apple Music. The best experience will be Apple software on Apple hardware (Vision Pro) but this unlocks revenue in a small hardware market - Apple Immersive on Meta Quest, PSVR2, etc.

One of the biggest gripes about AR is 'no one is asking for this' bc it's designed for co-presence - feeling like you're experiencing something alongside someone else. Co-presence is limited through conventional computers/TVs/phones. AR will be a breakthrough that we won't know how we lived without

Immersive live events be especially popular if/when this is perfected too. You get to feel like you're at an event *with someone www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/241...
Now Apple Vision Pro Personas can float freely across different apps
It’s not just limited to FaceTime anymore.

I’ve watched all four episodes in season three and all I can say is that Mark isn’t willing to listen to anyone else’s perspective on right vs wrong. Maybe it’ll come together later in the season but I don’t see where this is going

No I didn’t. It may be a faithful adaptation but I’m struggling to find a coherent narrative this season
