Published Jun 12th, 2023 2:14PM EDT, which is the equivalent of a powerful MacBook combined with a bleeding-edge MR headset. Apple doesn’t describe the device as an AR, VR, or MR headset. Instead, it’s Apple’s first “spatial computer,” which gives you control via eye-tracking, hand-tracking, and voice. Meanwhile, ChatGPT continues to be the most talked-about technology in town, with everyone in the tech world looking to create alternatives, even Apple.
You’ll use your eyes to move the “cursor” and various hand gestures to control digital objects. But voice control will play a key role in spatial computing, especially once generative AI comes to Vision Pro. Voice will perfectly complement eye- and hand-tracking to get things done quickly. The best example that comes to mind isChatGPT will be available on the headset from day one via OpenAI’s ChatGPT app for iPhone/iPad. I’m not talking about third-party products that are similar to ChatGPT.
As for ChatGPT, OpenAI’s hit product should grow significantly in the coming years, getting more powerful just as oversight comes into play. Just as I expect Apple to release its answer to ChatGPT in the near future, I see some of the biggest names in tech coming up with alternatives to Vision Pro. Meta has already started by soft-launchinglast week. And let’s not forget that Samsung joined forces with Qualcomm and Google in February to tease an upcoming spatial computer.
