ALBAWABA - A California software worker named Jacob Wright caused a stir when he wore his Apple Vision Pro headset to his wedding, which made his new wife, Cambree, very unhappy.
Wright, who works at the AI startup Runpod, said that he almost didn't wear the $3,500 headset to the service out of respect for his wife Cambree and the holiness of the occasion. But he couldn't resist the urge to take immersive photos and videos at the reception and the photoshoot after the service.
Cambree looked clearly upset in the wedding pictures as she held her bouquet while Jacob seemed to be deeply involved in his virtual world. It's "creepy" and "uncanny," Cambree said, so she doesn't look at Jacob when he's wearing the Apple Vision Pro. She'd rather let him enjoy his virtual experience.
When Jacob chose to use the Vision Pro, it was because he wanted to make memories that would last a lifetime for their future family. He thought that one day they would be able to show their children the full footage because technology might have improved and let them see it as holograms.
Even though Cambree told him not to, Jacob insisted on wearing the headset during the service. In the end, he agreed to only wear it at the reception.
People are criticizing Jacob's choice, but he is not upset. He sees it as a unique event that he can share with future generations.
The Apple Vision Pro has been getting a lot of attention in the tech world since it came out not long ago, but its use has raised questions about whether it's appropriate. This was made clearer when a person was seen crossing the street in San Diego wearing the headset, which led to a warning from the police.
Even though the Vision Pro was getting a lot of attention, sales seem to have slowed down, and some buyers have decided to return the virtual reality product.
