Spatial computing: Why Apple’s headset is not the most important thing it announced this week

The Independent  

When Tim Cook took to the stage at Apple’s event this week, he promised that he was about to make some of the company’s “biggest announcements ever”. “Apple Vision Pro together with visionOS introduces an entirely new spatial computing platform,” he said. “A platform that presents incredible possibilities for our users and exciting new opportunities for our developers.” That is because the most important thing that Apple announced this week was not actually that Vision Pro, even if it is what has grabbed the headlines and will decide Apple’s future. “So in the same way that Mac introduced us to personal computing and iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro will introduce us to spatial computing,” Mr Cook continued. Apple reveal augmented reality headset described as 'most advanced device ever’ Those screens are undeniably digital, not only in the sense that they do not actually exist in the real world but also in that they are showing the kinds of experiences we have been having on computers for years, such as looking through photos or messaging people.
