Apple Vision Pro is a spatial computing device that melds digital content into the user's physical surroundings. Those who wield this technology are like futurists, uncovering uses for it that seem almost magical at first glance.
By February 10, 2024, the Apple Vision Pro had hit a milestone with 200,000 units sold, raking in $700 million in sales. This fervor is a testament to the device’s cutting-edge technology and the public's desire to be part of the burgeoning virtual and augmented reality revolution.

Apple Vision Pro has become a sensation across various platforms - talked about on the internet, featured in newspapers, and its social media buzz is through the roof, with posts gathering millions of views. It has redefined VR glasses, introducing the world to the realms of mixed and augmented reality.

Gamification 

Feeling unproductive? Turn it into a game!

Gamification transforms mundane tasks by injecting fun, game-like elements into them. This method is especially popular in educational settings, where assignments are cleverly disguised as quests, making learning as thrilling as gameplay and boosting student engagement.

This concept can be seamlessly integrated into various aspects of life:

  • Exercise: Earning points for every calorie burned.
  • Diet: Rewards for avoiding extra treats.
  • Productivity: In apps like Forest, users grow a virtual tree for each task completed.

With the advent of Apple Vision Pro, a user on X (formerly Twitter) introduced a new level of realism to gamification. He gamified house cleaning, although this principle is applicable across different domains.
Another user took this a notch higher by creating a leaderboard competition with his wife, who, by the way, won the contest. A creative blend of Apple Vision Pro, a vacuum cleaner, coins, and a score counter for a gamified cleaning experience!

Real-Time Translation: Smoothing Communication

Gone are the days of cumbersome online translators. Traditional methods of communicating with a non-native speaker — passing a phone back and forth, waiting for translations — are now things of the past.

Enter the era of AR/VR in translation.
The Navi app changes the game by providing instant translation of spoken language, displayed as text next to the speaker. It’s also a boon for the hearing impaired, offering same-language subtitles.

Educational Revolution

Technologies like smartboards, tablets, and laptops have already transformed learning. Now, VR/AR tech is taking this transformation a step further.
Understanding complex concepts, like the workings of a car engine, no longer requires physical models. Virtual 3D models offer an immersive, interactive learning experience, allowing for experimentation and in-depth exploration.
Moreover, for musicians, Apple Vision Pro is a game-changer. Whether it’s hitting the right piano key, strumming the correct guitar chord, or playing the saxophone with perfect fingerings, this tech ensures musicians never miss a beat.

Culinary Delights

For cooking enthusiasts, Apple Vision Pro opens up a new realm of possibilities. It allows chefs to digitally display recipes and ingredient lists in their kitchen, a neat alternative to messy notebooks or unresponsive smartphone screens due to greasy fingers.
A journalist from The Wall Street Journal shared her experience of cooking pasta with Apple Vision Pro. She was impressed by the ability to place digital timers above each burner and the virtual shield against onion-induced tears. However, she noted some challenges with discerning the dish's color and adding small ingredients.

Apartment Hunting

Choosing an apartment is a laborious process. With so many appealing options, it can take weeks to find the right one. Traveling between locations can consume about 40% of the entire process.

AR/VR technologies simplify this process. With Apple Vision Pro, clients can virtually tour properties, saving time and effort. 
On February 1, 2024, real estate platform Zillow released the VR app Zillow Immerse. Although still in demo mode, it allows for virtual property viewing with VR glasses.

Additional Apple Vision Pro Use Cases

DJing. If you can’t afford a DJ mixer but have Apple Vision Pro, consider your problem solved. Just listen to what this user on X is doing. 
Watching Sports. Apple Vision Pro enhances the experience of watching basketball, football, baseball, and other sports. Users can watch multiple games simultaneously, open a betting website, and monitor analytics online. 

Trading. Beginner traders often attribute financial losses to the lack of multiple monitors. This issue is now solved with Apple Vision Pro, allowing for dozens of screens. It will be interesting to see if this improves their trading profitability.

Monitoring charts in Apple Vision Pro is a promising solution for those trading on multiple markets (crypto, currency pairs, indices) or investing in various assets (BTC, EUR, XAU) simultaneously. 
However, it’s unclear how interaction with the charts will occur: using a mouse, fingers, or gestures? Precision is crucial for traders, so until a suitable tool is developed, the effectiveness of Apple Vision Pro for trading remains to be seen.
