• However, despite the billions of dollars that have been invested in the industry, the metaverse has yet to go mainstream.
• Apple’s recent announcement of the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference — the company’s largest launch since the Apple Watch was released in 2015 — could be the lifeline the metaverse needs.

About the Vision Pro headset

• The Vision Pro headset is spatial computing device that allows users to interact with apps and other digital content using their hands, eyes and voice, all while maintaining a sense of physical presence.
• The Vision Pro is a mixed-reality headset, meaning it combines elements of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
• Users are able to control how immersed they are while using the Vision Pro.

Why do people use new tech?

• From there, we can make an informed prediction about the future of this new technology.
• The first factor that drives the adoption of technology is how easy a piece of technology will be to use, along with the perceived usefulness of the technology.
• More important, however, is the value derived from new technology — the benefits a user expects to gain, minus costs.

Can Apple save the metaverse?

• The launch of the Vision Pro seems to indicate Apple has an understanding of the factors that drive the adoption of new technology.
• The seamless integration of the Vision Pro into the rest of the Apple ecosystem will also likely to be a selling point for customers.
• Apple has built an extremely loyal customer base over the years by establishing trust and credibility.

Privacy and pricing

• By its very nature, the metaverse requires a wealth of personal data collection to function effectively.
• This is because the metaverse is designed to offer personalized experiences for users.
• Users will need assurances from Apple that their personal data and interactions with Vision Pro are secure and protected.
