So who is going to make the first virtual car showroom to run on a headset like Vision Pro so consumers can see a range of cars from a bunch of different manufacturers right in their driveway? This is inevitable. The question is just when.

Fallout is one the best video game adaptations I have ever seen.

Which VR games have the most potential to be made into shows?

I use Vision Pro 99% of the time without the light seal. It’s a much better experience in every way except comfort, but just comfortable enough for me to use it for fairly long periods. I’m not sure if I just have a lucky head shape, or because I have like 10 years experience in…

imagine revisiting your cherished memories in an immersive way, as if you're reliving them.

that’s what Wist: Immersive Memories is bringing to life with the Apple Vision Pro.

i’m having fun testing it while it’s currently in beta. i’ll let you know when it’s available.

Sounds like I totally overlooked this—the most popular answer to this by far was 'it's great for capturing images of young kids so you can pick out the best shot after the fact.'

Absolutely terrible by PayPal. It's clearly ambiguous which of these two options are selected, but of course it defaults to the one that gives PayPal more money. This is obviously not the UX a user would want (they would always want to opt-IN to paying more…

There are several long-running unfinished stories in the VR space that live rent-free in the back of my mind, waiting for resolution. 'Why this has taken so long' is definitely one of them lol.

Does anyone actually like ‘Live Photos’ feature on iOS? I’ve never seen a situation where it added anything meaningful to the picture. I’ve had it turned off for literally years now though so maybe I’m missing out? 🤷‍♂️

I'm finding a surprising lack of solid options for portable smart speakers with Google Assistant. Anyone have a recommendation for something in the $100-$200 range? Looking for sound quality over durability.

Alright so Beeper in just a few days has fully replaced all of my chat apps as the single place for messaging people (except iMessage 🥲) and my life is already better for it. Instead of jumping between 4 apps every day to communicate with people on different channels, I just…

Hypothetically if you made an insane bet that your indie game could get 90k wishlists with 0 marketing budget what would you do to achieve it? 😅
