When the Vision Pro was first released, Apple mainly courted developers, hoping theyd be impressed enough to build apps for the product. Apple engaged these developers in a series of test labs leading up to the products release.But recently, Apple has begun to roll out features that make the hardware more appealing to everyday consumersand has been using its best technology to do so.When it comes to the Metallica concert, Apple utilized high-end video technology in order to capture multiple perspectives and a view of more than 65,000 enthusiastic concertgoers. This custom-made filming setup included 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras using a mix of stabilized cameras, cable-suspended cameras, and remote-controlled camera dolly systems that moved around the stage.At SXSW in Austin, Metallica drummer and founder Lars Ulrich discussed the experience of having his own show turned into an augmented reality experience, calling it pretty overwhelming, sort of surreal.If metalheadsor any interested customerwant to see the immersive experience for themselves, Apple Stores are offering Vision Pro demos complete with an excerpt from the concert that includes a full performance of the song Whiplash.But if you prefer pop to rock, Alicia Keys and Raye have performances exclusively shown on the Vision Pro.
