Last week, Apple unveiled the Vision Pro. The movie experience is incredible, and photos look amazing. But Vision Pro’s AR capabilities could also revolutionize the way we work.
Imagine building a 3D CAD/CAM design for a mechanical heart valve. Instead of viewing a prototype on a 2D screen, you could see it in three dimensions.
We could rotate and zoom the image at will. We could even blow it up to hundreds of times its actual size and walk through the valve, inspecting every element!
Being able to view designs in 3D could also transform construction.
TANGObuilder, a company I invested in this year, makes powerful software for structural engineering designs. Now, imagine being able to design a home in three dimensions!
Vision Pro could even be indispensable on the job site.
Today, a startup called Argyle uses AR to show construction teams where to put structural elements like pipes and HVAC. Argyle shows detailed AR renderings on hardware like Hololens and iPhone.
In the future, construction workers may see their environment in greater resolution on Vision Pro. Every structural element could be crystal clear.
But Vision Pro will have to overcome some serious shortcomings first.
Again and again, those who have tried the headset say their faces hurt after about 20 minutes. Around half a laptop’s worth of weight strapped to your face can be very uncomfortable.
In the near term, I think Apple will introduce a better system of headbands to distribute the weight. Longer term, hardware will get smaller and lighter.
Another issue is battery life.
Vision Pro requires you to lug around a little battery pack on a cord — no one’s idea of sleek. And even with that, you only get 2 hours.
If you want more, you have to plug into an outlet.
However, battery capacity is increasing every day. In the last decade, capacity has more than tripled.
If Apple can address these weight and power problems, Vision Pro could be a compelling platform for work. I look forward to backing companies that make the most of this revolution!
