Episode notes
We're back with another episode of Boagworld, the longest-running web design podcast in the world. Well, maybe we took a bit of a holiday, but who's counting? In this week’s show we discuss the dangers of perfectionism, the pros and cons of AI platforms and why empathy is the key skill for UX professionals. A Trip to Apple Vision Pro Land However, I kick off the show with a little adventure I had recently. I took a detour during a shopping trip to try out the new Apple Vision Pro. Now, I need to caveat my comments by setting some expectations: It's not £3000 amazing (but when has that stopped us from buying Apple products before?) It's a bit heavy and can leave you feeling hot and sweaty Despite those caveats, it's absolutely mind-blowing technology. The immersion level is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Watching movies? Better than the cinema. Working with multiple screens? It's like being surrounded by your own personal command center. The demo experience itself was slick, albeit a bit too "American" for my British sensibilities. But the potential? Yep, its definitely there.
