Microsoft executive Omar Shahine used Apple’s new Vision Pro headset to transform an Emirates business-class cabin into a personal theater during a 16-hour flight from Seattle to Dubai. Shahine shared his experience on social media, expressing awe at the device’s ability to create a three-dimensional browsing environment. Despite its weight and strain on the eyes, Shahine described the headset as “more fun” than his home entertainment system.

While Microsoft executives praise Apple’s mixed reality headset Vision Pro, the company has slowed down its AR/VR ambitions, ending collaboration with Samsung to develop XR devices. Xbox Game Studios head expressed skepticism about the market viability of VR/AR, attributing Xbox’s lack of interest in VR technology to the absence of a substantial audience.

The Apple Vision Pro has been receiving significant praise since its launch, with former Apple CEO John Sculley likening it to the revolutionary iPhone and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman hailing the headset as the “second most impressive tech since the iPhone.” Elon Musk suggested using the device in conjunction with X Pro in a tweet. However, there are concerns that the new device could eventually cannibalize the iPad.
