A CNET reviewer watches a Lakers–Bucks game via Apple’s Vision Pro and finds the experience impressive in video quality and 3D immersion but lacking essential interactivity, multi-screen stats, and flexible viewing options; two years into Vision Pro’s life, the package remains expensive and not yet transformative enough to surpass traditional viewing for devoted fans.
Google's Beam video conferencing technology has been integrated into the HP Dimension system, a high-end enterprise device costing $25,000 that offers immersive 3D-like virtual meetings with multiple cameras, spatial audio, and AI-driven eye contact, along with additional microphone accessories; however, the overall cost includes the device, accessories, and a yet-to-be-disclosed Beam service subscription.
Two months after using the Apple Vision Pro, it hasn't drastically changed the user's lifestyle, but it has become a useful tool for specific tasks such as work, meditation, and entertainment. The device's stunning screens, eye tracking, and gesture controls make for an intuitive AR/VR interface, and Apple has introduced features like Spatial Personas for telepresence experiences. However, the lack of new Immersive Video content and limitations in creating Spatial Videos on iPhones are areas for improvement. The user anticipates potential upgrades for the Vision Pro at Apple's WWDC 24 event in June.
Apple's new Spatial Personas feature for its Vision Pro VR headset is revolutionizing telepresence, allowing users to connect with others in a shared virtual space and interact in ways that were previously impossible. The feature enables shared experiences such as watching movies, playing games, and collaborating on projects, creating a sense of presence and closeness. While the $3,500 price tag and limited availability may be barriers for some, Spatial Personas has the potential to redefine remote collaboration and social interaction in VR, setting a new standard for telepresence technology.
Logitech has teamed up with furniture maker Steelcase to create Project Ghost, a video conferencing booth that uses existing technology to make video chats feel more like real-world conversations. The booth features a large screen and a mirror that creates the illusion of eye contact, while warm colors, soft curves, and greenery make it feel inviting. The booth is designed for office spaces and is estimated to cost between $15,000 to $20,000 per unit. Logitech is looking into iterating on the design to make it more suitable for different scenarios.
