Interaction & Apple IntelligenceHave eye tracking and hand gestures become second nature for you, or do you still feel like you’re adapting yourself to the system?Is Apple Intelligence foundational to Vision Pro’s future, or does the platform succeed or fail largely without it?3. Hardware Futures: Comfort, Cost, and DirectionIf Apple could fix only one thing next—comfort, weight, price, or battery—which would most change your real-world use?Do rumors of multiple Vision Pro models clarify Apple’s roadmap, or do they suggest uncertainty about who this product is really for?4. Immersive Media as the Anchor ExperienceWhat immersive experience this year most convincingly answered the question, “Why does Vision Pro exist?”Is immersive media enough to carry the platform forward, or does Vision Pro still need a broader “everyday” purpose?5. Beyond Entertainment: Work, Learning, and Serious UseWhere have we seen the most credible real-world work or professional use of Vision Pro this year?What’s the biggest gap between what Vision Pro can technically do and what people are actually ready to do with it?Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceYouTube: Youtube.com/@VisionProFiles Website: ThePodTalk.NetEmail: [email protected]
