I don’t see myself buying a Vision Pro soon or ever, but love that a hot air balloons video is in the next batch of immersive content. Seems like a great fit. But also, maybe Apple is overthinking this… Any and all content would probably help.

@manton Manton, I agree that all content can be helpful, but I think certain content, if delivered right, could be "worth it today at this hardware price" to many people. I think real-time/live, spatial sports could be that. Many people readily bought $10,000 HD then 4K now 8K TVs for that. The (unfortunately not real-time) examples Apple shows feel viscerally so general-audience compelling. Court/field-side tickets are $$$ and people buy them. Live sports cable packages sell.

Unfortunately, high-res, real-time streaming may not be generally available yet, and the wrangling over the $ split may take time.

Does anybody know more about this????

@danb That's true, live sports might be the closest to a killer app for immersive video. I don't know the technical hurdles, but there was that live stream of The Talk Show last month, so gotta be within reach for sports too.

@manton @danb I would love to visit museums all of the world without having to travel. How about the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology (Vietnamese minority tribes) vme.org.vn/modules/frontend/th

@glotcha @manton @danb That’s what virtual reality allow you to do when made well

@Nonny @glotcha @manton Yes, but I'm thinking of specific cases that will affect the sales of Apple .
