Dear NFT enthusiast,
The tech world was buzzing with excitement following Apple's recent unveiling of the Vision Pro. After watching the official video, it's clear why the anticipation is so high. What caught our attention the most was the official tagline, "the era of spatial computing is here." This tagline emphasizes that the Vision Pro is not simply another product, but rather the first step into a new paradigm. Imagine a world where screens are no longer confined to specific devices but can be created anywhere, transforming your surroundings into immersive displays.
For quite some time, the NFT industry has been eagerly envisioning the metaverse, with millions of dollars invested in its realization. Apple's Vision Pro now presents a product capable of providing the level of immersion necessary to bring a virtual world to life. With this groundbreaking technology, the metaverse can begin to approach the original vision portrayed in Neal Stephenson's book.
We often say, "the future is a weird place," but this time, the potential weirdness has us truly excited.
Thank you for reading, and we wish you a fantastic week(end).
