Apple has unveiled its latest creation, the Apple Vision Pro, a set of virtual reality goggles that offer a fully immersive experience with eye and hand tracking features. With these goggles, users can view photos, pull up tabs seemingly in the air, take high-definition photos, engage in spacial facetime, watch TV and videos, and even play games. The controls are operated by eye and hand gestures, allowing users to simply look at an icon and tap their fingers together to activate commands.
The Apple Vision Pro goggles have been praised for their technological advancements, but there are concerns about the impact they may have on human interaction. As videos surface online of people wearing the goggles in public, there are reports of accidents and decreased face-to-face interactions. Individuals are unintentionally walking into objects and people, and there have even been instances of people being pulled over while driving with the goggles on.
With the increasing prevalence of technology like the Apple Vision Pro, the worries about a decline in human interaction grow stronger. Currently, people already spend a significant amount of time on their phones and barely interact with each other in public. With a screen attached to people’s faces, the level of real-world interaction could potentially drop to zero.
Despite these concerns, the high price tag of $3,500 for the Apple Vision Pro goggles means that only a limited number of people have access to this technology. However, as access increases in the future, the prevalence of individuals staying home and immersing themselves in the world of virtual reality may become a reality sooner than anticipated.
