hello everybody I'm glad that you're here Apple just announced the Apple Vision Pro device it's a
device that I'm super excited about and normally I would never make a video on a device that I don't
have in my hands because I can't really offer you a unbiased review of something that I haven't used
and any footage that I would show you of the device would just be marketing material that
you can find on your own on the Apple website so why am I making this video because I haven't been
this excited about a device since maybe the iPad version one and specifically I'm excited about
the potential of this device in education it has the ability to have very high quality video in the
demos they even showed the dissection of a heart they showed things like engineering work all of
this would be fantastic in an educational setting but there is a reason why I think the Apple Vision
Pro might not be great for an educational setting and in Apple's sort of not defense I don't need to
defend Apple they can make their own decisions but in sort of looking at what Apple's doing they're
not releasing it till next year so usually if it was going to be geared towards an educational
Market you'd see a September release but in this case here they're releasing it next year and it
is called The Vision Pro which also makes me think there may be some other models coming for
September of the following year not this year but this following September anyways what is it that I
think makes this particular device as I've seen it so far not well suited for Education unlike some
of the other headsets and I have videos here on the channel where I talk about using those
in education it's not the price you might think oh well it's very expensive how can we possibly
afford those for all the students well we have a lot of devices and a lot of Technology that's in
a school that is expensive but it's shared amongst multiple students so for example we can buy a very
expensive overhead projector and use that in a classroom and that just that cost is Justified
because it's used by many students this is what I think is potentially the most challenging aspect
of the Apple Vision Pro in education is that it seems to me to be one of the most personalized
devices that I've ever seen it seems to be something that is going to be tied directly
to the individual not just from a shape of your head and making sure that it's a customized Fit
for Your Head having the glasses in there so that is customized for your vision but also the
configuration of the device to look at your face and your eyes to make sure that it works with you
and that's fantastic for an individual user but it's not going to be a device that we can share
amongst most multiple students which brings us back to needing one device per student on a
one-to-one ratio so as fantastic as this device is in terms of capabilities in terms of you know the
the quality of the video the audio the immersive experience the things that could really really
make it fantastic in school I think probably that one-to-one ratio is something that might
be challenging if not impossible to do with every student especially because we're unlikely to put
a student into a virtual environment for a full school day it might be something where they would
want to use it a couple times a week perfect for a device that's shared not so perfect for a device
that's highly personalized so that's my take on the Apple Vision Pro in education at this point
I will be looking to get one when they do get released so make sure you like subscribe and you
can even hit the super things if you want but I'm going to hopefully be getting one of those devices
when it's released and I'll be breaking it down down from an educational standpoint and looking
at how it could be a useful tool in educational technology and it is important to note that when
I'm talking education I'm specifically looking at you know kindergarten to grade 12 maybe some
college courses in highly specialized engineering or medical education the price would not be an
issue to train a doctor we could get one for every doctor trainee we could get one for every
engineering engineering trainee that would be a reasonable cost in light of how much tuition would
be for those fields but for regular educational use I'm very interested to see if we either see a
ability to share one device amongst many students or if another device is released that's not the
pro level but is at a price point where we could go with a one-on-one ratio so I'm super excited
about the device just wanted to make this quick video share my thoughts with you what do you
think about the Apple Vision Pro in education now VR energy education check out some of my other
videos on VR in general in education which I think is a good thing but specifically what do you think
about the Apple Vision Pro in education thanks for watching and we'll see in the next video
