Apple’s Vision Pro and The Crisis of Leaked Visual Assets
Bi-weekly news commentary
Hello friend,
How are you? I hope your week is going great.
In this bi-weekly news commentary, I provide exclusive insights into noteworthy news stories that have caught my attention as the visual storytelling landscape evolves.
Apple’s Vision Pro
The gist: Last week Apple unveiled their new mixed reality headset, planned to ship in early 2024.
Why it matters: Apple is entering the metaverse (funny without even uttering that word during the launch event), introducing its AR/VR ski-like goggles last Monday.
To put this in context, according to PitchBook, Metaverse-related startups received approximately $664 million in funding during the initial five months of 2023, marking a 77 percent decrease compared to the previous year.
