Listen "Will virtual reality ever become a daily reality?"
Episode Synopsis
The Vision Pro is Apple's new $3,500 virtual reality headset.
Since its debut in February, users have found new ways to use this latest iteration of a decades-old technology: scrolling TikTok at work, driving Tesla's Cybertruck, recording their kid's birth.
But can VR truly integrate into our daily lives? Or will it forever remain a niche technology for geeks and gamers?
Endless Thread dives into the history of VR and its potential for the future.

Credits: This episode was written and produced by Cici Yongshi Yu. Mix and sound design by Emily Jankowski. The hosts are Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson.
