Apple Vision Pro – I Thought I Knew What The Metaverse Would Feel Like. I Couldn’t Be Further From The Truth.

A couple of weeks ago, I received an unusual meeting invite. It said “Test Apple Vision Pro.” I read it twice and jumped at the opportunity. I had been longing to get my hands on an AR/VR device that could make my dream idea – an augmented world (project Vmess platform) – a reality. That day was finally coming.

What better way to cap off an amazing work week at Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL) than by getting up close and personal with Apple’s groundbreaking #mixedreality marvel – the #VisionPro? Last Friday, I had the immense privilege of taking this pioneering device for a spin.

Let me be blunt: before trying the Vision Pro, I thought I had a decent idea of what the metaverse experience would be like. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. This isn’t just the future – it’s a portal to parallel universes that shattered my expectations.

The Vision Pro isn’t a smartphone replacement; it represents an entirely new frontier, a mind-bending window into the so call #metaverse. Furthermore, everything is at hands: you pinch to interact. like every Apple creation, it exudes sophistication down to the finest detail. 

The display resolution? Words fail to capture its otherworldly crispness and depth. And we’re not merely talking apps here; these are full-fledged, multi-sensory experiences that transport you to realms you thought only existed in science fiction.

Mark Zuckerberg was certainly onto something with his metaverse vision, but Apple seems poised to leapfrog everyone with this staggering delivery that must be witnessed firsthand. 

My rendezvous with the Vision Pro was more than a tech spectacle, though. It was also a heartwarming reunion with the brilliant minds at Virtual Rangers. Their #VR app portfolio is impressive, but what moved me most was “Roudy’s World” – an experience lovingly crafted to inspire hope and joy in children facing unimaginable adversity.

Immense gratitude to Matthieu Bracchetti and the entire Virtual Rangers crew, along with François Giotto, for making this future-altering experience possible. The metaverse future we yearned for? It’s already here, and it’s far grander than we ever conceived.

Here is how Meta is positioning these new AI  and AR / VR services to support companies in developing their metaverse

Check the following video introducing the Builder Bot, which creates VR worlds with your voice :

I can only acknowledge that it is a clever move. The first versions of VMESS in 2015 had a quite similar goal in mind.

Meta intent to be a Metaverse Forge Platform: the host a Digital Multiverse. At the end of the day, it is about giving one the possibility to pioneer the Metaverses (with an “S”).

Overall, it is an even greater strategic milestone for the Meta Group as Facebook needs to pivot to some degree in order to not face the same destiny as MySpace.

However, Mark Zuckerberg has 2 problems to solve (per the recent 230 billion $USD loss in value) till then:

  1. Even if the social value of Facebook has been proven, with its 2.9 billion users, Facebook has this negative image of being an “evil company”.

    Considering the amount of data gathered on each member of this social network, political opinion influence, the toxicity of Instagram for youngsters, etc. this image needs to change.
  2. Mark Zuckerberg. Yes, Mark is the image of Facebook, and it is not shining at the moment. Maybe it would be wiser for Meta to have a different public face (communication-wise) to perform its complete mutation.
