Apple Vision Pro has taken the world by storm quicker than anyone would have thought. Apple's new mixed reality headset has already made its way courtside of an NBA game. Tonight's game between the Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies saw one fan wearing the headset despite sitting less than ten feet from live NBA action.
Has virtual reality become so ubiquitous that it's making its way to live sporting events? Maybe. The NBA and other pro sports leagues have long attempted to incorporate virtual or augmented reality into the game-watching experience. Based on the video, this fan is clearly having the time of his life. Maybe he has figured out the trick that the those leagues have been looking for.
What is Apple Vision Pro?
Apple Vision Pro is a new mixed reality that combines aspects of both augmented and virtual reality to provide an interface that users can control with their hands and eyes. If you were wondering what the Celtics fan was doing with his hands in some of the videos, he was doing just that.
On Thursday, Feb. 1, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations Susan Prescott said "With more than 600 new spatial experiences to explore in the all-new App Store, alongside more than 1 million compatible apps across iOS and iPadOS, users can discover a wide array of apps that expand the boundaries of what’s possible."
The headset costs a whopping $3,499. However, if the experience the headset provides is so special that people already feel comfortable wearing it out in public during a live sporting event, the experience must be something incredible. It might be only a matter of time before we're all wearing such headsets courtside. Based on the comments under the videos of this fan though, we're still a long way from that reality.
