I might actually be excited about Apple Vision

Yeah, I gotta admit it does look pretty freaking cool.. Oh and here's a good reason for atmos if it takes off.

More like1990!

It's not a new concept for sure but things have moved on a bit since the lawnmower man .. It's like music or any artform, it doesn't always have to be original it just has to be done well.

That would be hilarious. Just use the technology to make the most backward and inefficient system ever.

But the way I would use it would be to take my physical monitor away and then just put every parameter that I'm working on right in front of me. And if there's a window I'm not using I could literally just like put it behind the couch.

Austin Powers style.

And yes... nothing says old-school like the Stream Deck! Didn't George Martin use one of those? Haha. Totally kidding, actually I'm kind of jealous of your set up.

I'll have to show you some time what I've done with the Stream Deck.  Stream Decks are bad ass.  Especially if you spend the time to learn how to do different things with them.  I've got a lot of stuff in Luna automated now.  One touch of a button and it's done.  No mouse.  I couldn't go back to not having one.

You can of course use a Stream Deck with any DAW.  It's up to your own creativity.  Almost anything is possible.

I don’t like a lot of aspects of this type of thing. The idea of everyone walking around like robots all day is concerning, I don’t want to become disconnected in the wrong ways. All that crap aside, there’s just so many potential ways to implement this into studio workflows. Can you imagine what it can do for hardware recall eventually? Imagine looking down at a huge API console or all your racks of outboard gear after doing a big mix and being able to take a virtual capture/snapshot of it all. A week later you need to recall it all, you just throw the headset on and walk up to stuff and have a visual indicator of what every single knob and button should be when you walk up to stuff. I think someone could easily make that happen with the tech at it’s current state. It would be even cooler if you could 3d map and capture a whole room to recall where instruments and microphones were on sessions…

I have to record myself a lot, I’ve found a fairly painless work around with screen sharing my computer on my iPad so I can be in the live room. Not going to lie, I would MUCH rather have this thing on my head if it meant being able to throw up the ProTools screen on one side of the room, my Apollo virtual console on the other, and maybe a chart or song lyrics somewhere to help me follow the song easier. Even more appealing if I could move around and control things with my eyes and gestures. I would strap on the headset every freaking session…

Unfortunately, all we’re going to get is virtual skins from Behringer to make their crap look like the real things, and a Virtual Abbey Road Beatles Experience or something…

I was wondering about that. Seemed kind of borderline based on the videos. My take was that headphones with a tight enough band could work but I've never actually seen one of these things, could be wrong.

I also am among those who hates the idea of these technologies isolating humans even further from each other. But for areas (like mixing) that are already (mostly) a hyper focused solo activity, this could be game changing. Another one is video editing. There are probably others like that where isolated immersion is already the name of the game.

But yeah, watching a movie by myself on the wall? No thanks. I like to watch the first 8 minutes of every movie with my wife before she falls asleep, it's a bonding thing.

Well, if that doesn't kill physical movie theaters, nothing will.

Another step towards the dystopian world where we all just live in a bubble by ourselves, surrounded by fake products, fake people, fake society, fake sex, fake everything. Kind of sounds familiar. Wasn't there a movie - or was it several movies about this?

No thanks for me.

It's not really going to have an effect more than likely. People were saying that about streaming for years and it's gone the other way, all the streaming services are having to spit out non stop, never ending crap content and increase prices. For something like the Vision headset, you miss out on the "group activity" aspect of it. Who's going to drop over $10k on a few of these for when you have a few friends over? You're just not going to "beat" the draw of a physical place to go out to for a group activity. You could definitely augment it all, for sure! I just don't see the argument of this killing movie theaters, it's a different thing. There's pro's and cons as far as the isolation aspect of this technology goes...
