Well, Apple went and did the thing. After years of rumors, speculation, and expectation, the company finally unveiled its first new product category since 2014\u2019s Apple Watch with the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro. The AR and VR headset, which is currently priced at a steep $3,500 and has a tentative launch date of early 2024, is Apple\u2019s first major swing at making the idea of spatial computing a reality.<\/p>\n

During the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5, Apple finally took the wraps off the eagerly anticipated mixed-reality headset, and the Web3 community certainly didn\u2019t fail to notice how its introduction could profoundly shape the evolution of the metaverse and the crypto art sphere. Here\u2019s what people are saying.<\/p>\n

Excitement and praise for Apple Vision Pro<\/h2>\n

Well-known figures in both the Web3 and VR world have shown their enthusiasm for Apple\u2019s newest product announcement. Reddit and Web3 funding venture Seven Seven Six founder Alexis Ohanian, Oculus VR founder Palmer Lucky, and Gmoney all expressed enthusiasm for the headset and its possibilities. <\/p>\n

And the easy AR\/VR shift should make it more viable around the house. One killer feature in AR\/VR gaming will be the ability to be able to hand a unit to another person and seamlessly start playing together IRL. https:\/\/t.co\/nsoQP8HO63<\/p>\n

Not everyone in Web3 is convinced<\/h2>\n

Amongst the fanfare and praise was a healthy amount of skepticism from both artists and builders in the NFT sphere. Post-photography magician Roope Rainisto was among those who expressed concern about just how apps in the Apple Vision Pro workspace would look and fit in a user\u2019s field of view. Others felt the copy-paste manner in which Apple projects its apps into physical space lacked the imagination needed to really capitalize on the promise of spatial computing. <\/p>\n

Further, Chana Kanzen, founder of London Women Leading Web3 and head of Rug Radio Partnerships, praised the tech but expressed skepticism around the fit and comfort of the glasses. <\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s new headset \u2013 yes the tech is amazing and exciting but I still feel until we are able to integrate VR into lightweight, breathable glasses that are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, mobile and compact we won\u2019t see the adoption these companies are hoping for .\u2026<\/p>\n

What is Web3 without satire?<\/h2>\n

NFT community members were quick to hone in on some of the more humorous aspects of the announcement, highlighting both Vision Pro\u2019s high price point and how crypto degens might utilize the tool. <\/p>\n

The Apple Headset is extremely cheap. I stopped ordering coffee for one week and already bought two. <\/p>\n

And, of course, the community couldn\u2019t resist using Vision Pro as a lens through which to comment on the SEC\u2019s recent lawsuit filings against two of the biggest crypto exchanges in existence, Binance and Coinbase. <\/p>\n

With a release date of early 2024 in the works, both the wary and the hopeful will have to wait to see just what Apple brings to market, but the possibility of the world\u2019s largest tech company by revenue taking a serious shot at spatial computing is nothing to scoff at. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
