More than anything, Apple’s Vision Pro is a beginning. There are moments while using it that feel like a porthole into a different world and — just maybe — the future. It’s imperfect, sure, but it’s an undeniable accomplishment after so many decades of extended reality false starts. Using the headset for even a few minutes is a mesmerizing experience but, perhaps more importantly, offers tangible glimpses into where things are going.

I’ve long been a sucker for mindfulness apps. That’s not to say that I use them much these days, but it feels like I’ve tried every one. One key thing that engaging with a Headspace or Calm lacks on a phone or tablet is immersion. It’s hard to overstate how powerful a tool immersion is, particularly for those who are just beginning their practice. It’s something the Vision Pro has in spades.
