Apple debuted its long-anticipated Vision Pro augmented reality headset at its WWDC conference on Monday, and it's already causing a stir in the AV world. Claims that people will be ditching their TV in favour of this $3500 (around £2800) headset are cropping up on Twitter, however, I'm certain that the Vision Pro isn't the extinction event for TVs.
Frankly speaking, the Vision Pro is a very interesting product conceptually and it looks like it has some clever practical implementations when it comes to productivity and communication. It even has some merit when it comes to the AV experience; even I can't argue against the triumphant return of 3D with that Avatar demo, or how cool it is to have The Avengers spawn in my living room via Marvel's What If...? on Disney Plus. There's of course the ability to create a 100-foot screen in your living room via the power of AR and VR, and the function to dim your surroundings to create a cinema-like environment in any room in your house is impressive too; more on this momentarily.
