As I watched WWDC, a strange feeling overcame me. I hate the pretentious tone of some Apple enthusiasts. I love trolling Apple for "inventing" things. But during one part of the presentation, I forgot about all of that and just enjoyed technology being shown off. The Apple Vision Pro got me more excited about virtual reality and augmented reality than I have been in a long time.
I've covered virtual reality since the Samsung Gear VR. I've written guides on how to use the Oculus Go, reviewed the first Oculus Quest, and covered the launch of the Quest 2. On the mixed reality side of things, I've written dozens of stories about HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality. At one point I interviewed a game developer in Australia as I virtually fought him in his own game even though he was thousands of miles away. But despite all that, Apple scratched my VR itch in a way that no other company has.
