WATCH VIDEO | Driving Tesla, Walking Robot Dog, More: Apple Vision Pro Users Trying Out New Headset On The Streets Leave Netizens Bewildered
Of course, there's the usual 'Simpsons Predicted It First' video for Vision Pro doing its rounds on social media as well. We have rounded up some hilarious posts below.
Last week saw the launch of Apple's mixed reality headsets, and it didn't take long for unsuspecting people to come across Vision Pro users (you know, the handful who actually paid $3,499 for the headset) wearing the devices while swiping wildly with their hands in the public, doing seemingly mundane tasks such as riding the bus or driving their Teslas.
Reactions to the startling sights varied widely on social media, with some expressing amusement and others lamenting what surely must be our impending dissent into a dystopian society reminiscent of a science fiction novel or cinema. While social media is hardly a reliable barometer of larger public sentiment, some users did dispense with mockery to hail the mixed reality sets as the wave of the future.
It remains to be seen whether the pricy product will catch on with those who aren't tuned into the latest tech gadgets and crazes. For now, it seems safe to say that most people have found the Vision Pro sets a tad bit, well, bewildering.
I don't know if it is allowed, but if it is, how long will it take to prohibit the use of Apple Vision Pro while driving a vehicle? It is a danger not to put all five senses into what is happening.

J’ai porté l’Apple Vision Pro entre 4 à 5 heures par jour, en substitut de mon Mac et de mon iPhone… alors, ça vaut quoi ? pic.twitter.com/GzhT1FqTmK
