There have been plenty of hands-on impressions and various glimpses of what using Vision Pro is like, but a new video from Apple offers the clearest look yet at the experience. Today Apple published a “guided tour of Vision Pro,” which might be painfully scripted, but actually does a great job of showing what it’s like to use the headset (and this is coming from someone who has used the headset on multiple occasions ).

Apple is hoping you tack on a few goodies to make your Vision Pro experience even better starting today, which we now learned includes your standard array of pricey Apple accessories, but also replacement bits in case you lose, damage, or just want a spare for whatever reason.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Apple Vision Pro pre-orders start today and with them come additional details like the range of storage options and prices. When I was sitting in the crowd during the announcement of Vision Pro at WWDC last year, I recall hearing an audible reaction from the crowd when the company mentioned the $3,500 price point at the very end of the headset’s pitch.

When Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is prepping to roll out an all-new process technology, it usually builds a new fab to meet demand of its alpha customers and then either adds capacity by upgrading existing fabs or building another facility. With N2 (2nm-class), the company seems to be taking a slightly different approach as it is already constructing two N2-capable fabs and is awaiting for a government approval for the third one.
