Apple #VisionPro eye-tracking mega-thread! I'm seeing some concern about eye fatigue. @EricPresidentVR brought up this legitimate worry. I think there is some misunderstanding of how AVP differs from other implementations. I'll also dive into some interesting eye UX work. (1/) 
Eye gaze is tricky to use as an input because it is so fundamental to our bodies that we don't feel like we actively control it and being made aware of it feels creepy and fatiguing. Doubly so because you literally cannot look away. (2/)
It suffers from the "Midas touch" problem, named after the mythical King Midas, who was granted his wish that anything he touch turn to gold. Midas regretted it when he reached out to comfort his distraught daughter one day, turning her to lifeless gold. Oopsies! (3/)
Let's talk about the most important feature of the Apple #VisionPro that is getting the least attention right now: high quality spatial audio. Apple understands audio and TDG's VP, Mike Rockwell, was formerly a VP at Dolby. Look the size of those speaker drivers! (1/)
Audio is a huge part of our perception of space. The soundscape around us helps us localize objects both directly -- when they emit sound, esp. beyond our visual field -- and indirectly, when reflections give us a sense of the dimensions and composition of our 3D space. (2/)
Spatial audio is an important cue that grounds virtual objects in our space. This isn't just important for making a dinosaur in our room feel present. It helps orient abstract objects, like app UI, allowing a unified mental model of the real and virtual. Less mental work. (3/)

More #VisionPro Thoughts
1. If anyone else launched with a cable & external battery, they'd be criticized heavily. Why does Apple get a pass?
2. Many say $3500 isn't a lot for a first gen product for a new category. Even if it was, most of those were business devices, this isn’t

#VisionPro is not a first gen device, it’s Apple’s first gen device. Magic Leap would’ve been a better candidate for first product in the category and comparing that price, even though it was originally pitched as consumer, it ended up being a business device as well.
Many new categories begin as business devices, which mitigates price concerns since ROI is easier to justify higher costs. I don’t think Apple could’ve built #VisionPro at a lower price with these specs. But it has clearly decided to go ultra-premium first for the best experience
So, @Apple’s new #VisionPro headset is out, and it looks like a cool product. I happened to work on it five years ago, so here’s a number of thoughts on the gadget. This is long and rambling, and all of my first-hand information is five years old, so make of it what you will.1/?
I worked on the Experience Prototyping team, which built the first POCs of the experiences for which you’d use the final product. Back in 2018 we mostly used Windows computers, Unity, and a mix of off-the-shelf headsets and in-house prototypes. These things take time to build.2/?
One thing that Apple consistently gets right is – well, they get things right. They build things that people can use for something. Apple asks “what do we want to make possible” and only then “what do we need to build to make it happen”. Use case is first, tech is incidental.3/?
1/5 🚀Apple has just unveiled its brand new VR headset, the Apple Vision Pro, at #WWDC2023. Entering the realm of virtual and mixed reality, this premium device promises to reshape our digital experiences.

2/5 🌐The Vision Pro introduces "spatial computing," a novel form of computing that creates virtual desktops around you, blending #AR and #VR for immersive interactions with the digital world. #SpatialComputing
3/5 🎥Imagine watching movies in unique virtual environments, all controlled by your eyes, hands, and voice. The Vision Pro promises just that, adding a new dimension to your digital media experience. #MixedReality #WWDC2023
As a former HoloLens engineer I'm really waiting for them to reveal the specs because a lot of this was done by Microsoft and Magic Leap almost 10 years ago and there are some fundamental issues with AR wearables that they're dancing around.
Aaaand they moved right on past the point where they'd tell us the field of view. That's concerning.
These demo 3d apps look so much like what we did at Microsoft I did a double-take. And the rendering quality / materials looks exactly the same, which make me think this is going to be more similar to HoloLens than they'd like people to find out.
