2-3 SEPTEMBER • NAARM | MELBOURNE
Damian Cavanagh

1000 Hours with Apple Vision Pro
Damian got his Apple Vision Pro on the Australian launch day, used it for 3 hours a day on average, and has now spent over 1,000 hours on Apple’s newest and most exciting platform. That’s only $6 per hour! And it's the best money he's ever spent. From both admin and end-user perspectives, this session will explore: - What it's been like living in the future since July last year - AR vs VR for a device that does both so well - How visionOS has influenced expectations of other devices and platforms - What innovators and early adopters are doing with Apple Vision Pro - What Spatial Computing might mean for the future of device usage - and thus management - at school or work
