I'm Letting Siri See My Life on Vision Pro, and It's a Sign of Things to Come
Key takeaways
- In my office, there are bookshelves where I keep my magic tricks.
- The bookshelves are real; the Paris windows and wall clock aren't.
- My first little moments wearing the Vision Pro and testing an all-seeing Siri AI in the developer preview of VisionOS 27 are surprising but very familiar.
In my office, there are bookshelves where I keep my magic tricks. Next to them are panoramic windows looking out on Paris -- except, not really. They're mixed reality overlays that greet me when I wear Apple's Vision Pro headset, mapped to my actual windows. A virtual clock hangs on the wall.
The bookshelves are real; the Paris windows and wall clock aren't. But Siri, which I invoke as a glowing orb in front of me, sees them all. When I ask what's in front of me, Siri's text box describes it all.
My first little moments wearing the Vision Pro and testing an all-seeing Siri AI in the developer preview of VisionOS 27 are surprising but very familiar. I've had moments like this in Samsung's Galaxy XR headset, which already has a Gemini Live mode that can recognize your room and the virtual apps and windows that are open. I've also worn many smart glasses where I've asked camera-aware AI to tell me about the world as I've walked around.
