📌 Between Hack and Gimmick
The episode discusses of the "InTechnology" podcast, where host Camille Morhardt and guest Tony Mongkolsmai from Intel explore the Apple Vision Pro. Tony shares his three-day experience with the device, highlighting its avatar creation feature, which uses motion tracking and depth cameras for personalization. Despite mixed reactions from friends and family on the avatar's likeness, Tony notes the uncanny valley effect. The device's practicality is questioned, particularly for tasks requiring high visual clarity, like coding, due to its pixelated view through camera lenses. However, Tony sees potential in immersive experiences and productivity, with the ability to carry one's Mac screen wirelessly. The conversation also touches on content consumption, the device's adaptability for different users, and its discrete sound feature. Tony's personal and professional insights, including his podcast "Code Together" and involvement in Intel's startup program, add depth to the discussion about the evolving use of technology in everyday life and its potential impact on productivity and entertainment.
