In a bizarre case of life imitating art, it seems that The Simpsons has once again predicted a technological advancement before it became a reality. This time, it's the Apple Vision Pro, an augmented reality headset that has recently gone on sale in the U.S., causing fans to question whether the show's writers have some form of time-travelling abilities. This isn't the first time The Simpsons has seemingly foreseen future events, as they famously predicted Donald Trump's 2016 election victory and the controversial plot twist in Game of Thrones. Now, fans are revisiting a 2016 episode that eerily resembles the new Apple technology.
The episode in question revolves around the residents of Springfield becoming addicted to a new virtual reality technology after Mr Burns hires the Simpson family to act as his virtual reality family. Moments such as Principal Seymour Skinner becoming obsessed with the technology and Homer and Marge sharing a virtual reality kiss are depicted, showcasing a fictionalized version of the technology that is now becoming a reality.
