My Son And The Apple Vision Pro
When my son got his Apple Vision Pro in 2024, it wasn’t just another gadget — it was stepping into a completely new way of interacting with technology. He was among the very first users to get one, and the excitement in our household was palpable.
From the moment he unboxed it, it was clear this was something special. The Vision Pro packs an astonishing 23 million pixels across its two micro‑OLED displays, making the visuals incredibly sharp — sharper than most 4K TVs. But what really makes it stand out is how you interact with it. Instead of a keyboard or mouse, you control it with your eyes, hands, and voice. You simply look at what you want to open, tap your fingers, or speak, and it responds naturally. It felt like something out of science fiction — and yet, it was right there in our living room.
Experiencing a New World
For my son, being one of the first owners meant exploring a world that most people hadn’t even seen yet. He could expand apps into enormous floating screens, watch movies in ways that felt immersive, and work on an “infinite canvas” that made multitasking effortless. It wasn’t just using a device — it was stepping inside it.
The Vision Pro blends the digital and real world seamlessly. Its sensors and cameras make virtual content feel anchored to real space, and the “EyeSight” feature, which shows a representation of the user’s eyes to people nearby, made it feel less isolating than typical VR headsets.
A Peek into the Future
What really impressed me was that this wasn’t just a toy. It’s a glimpse of where computing is headed. Spatial computing like this could change how we work, learn, and entertain ourselves. Being an early user meant dealing with a few quirks and a learning curve, but it also meant getting a front-row seat to a technology that could redefine how we interact with the digital world.
Looking back, it wasn’t just about having the latest gadget — it was about embracing the future, experiencing something new, and imagining the possibilities. Watching my son explore, experiment, and discover with the Vision Pro was a reminder of just how exciting technology can be when you’re one of the first to try it.
