It is the most challenging Apple product I own so far. I scheduled a consultation with Apple support to start it, and it took an hour, and I needed more. In fact, I had to terminate the session because my mom started to call me :). I had a chance to play with it more on the same day, and then more on Sunday. I am still learning how to operate it. It is as wild as you saw it in commercials. Pressing the key by focusing your gaze on them is a total Sci-Fi, and it’s not always convenient. Fortunately, you can also press them on an imaginary keyboard.
I chose an environment that places me on the shore of a tiny lake high in the mountains, and I can even hear the water splashing. I also watched a short episode on Nature, which showed rhinos in Africa, and they literally come by you and touch you with their noses. Surreal. There is a warning at the start of each movie: beware of your environment (aka remember that you are in the virtual reality, not just the reality), and now I know why they show it.
I already have a long list of questions that I need to look up :), including how I create a guest account and share with others.
There is no way to tell it, but that’s the 3-D picture taken by Apple Vision
My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996.
I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future.
I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life.
As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
