🥟 Chao-Down #100 Movie directors win protection from AI while writers strike, Apple's Vision Pro launches, ChatGPT comes to the doctor's office

Apple unveiled the Apple Vision Pro, an innovative augmented reality headset that seamlessly combines the real and digital worlds. Priced at $3,499 and set to launch next year, the device features a sleek ski goggles-like design and is controlled through eye, hand, and voice commands.

With separate batteries and the ability to switch between augmented and virtual reality modes, the headset offers an intuitive user experience. It eliminates the need for controllers, allowing users to navigate through apps using their gaze, tap to select, and flick to scroll.

The Vision Pro boasts a high-resolution display, advanced sensors, and supports Bluetooth accessories. It also incorporates features like passthrough video, spatial audio, and the ability to create lifelike avatars.

Despite entering a market that hasn't fully taken off, the Vision Pro has received positive reviews and is expected to compete with offerings from Meta. Will it succeed?
