Description

The Vision Pro is Apple's new $3,500 virtual reality headset.



Since its debut in February, users have found new ways to use this latest iteration of a decades-old technology: scrolling TikTok at work, driving Tesla's Cybertruck, recording their kid's birth.



But can VR truly integrate into our daily lives? Or will it forever remain a niche technology for geeks and gamers?



Endless Thread dives into the history of VR and its potential for the future.
