Apple insists that its $3,500 Vision Pro ski goggles, which officially debuted Friday, is not virtual reality but “spatial computing.”
One problem: No one agrees on the definition of spatial computing. Ask 10 people in technology and you might get 12 different answers.
What Apple calls a spatial computer, some technologists call “mixed reality” — or possibly “augmented reality,” “holographic computing,” “the metaverse” or “XR,” which some people say is shorthand for “extended reality.” Others say the letters don’t stand for anything.
