Note: This episode was recorded before Apple announced the preorder and launch details of Apple Vision Pro. 

Oliver Weidlich is Director of Design and Innovation at Contxtual. We discuss his design work in spatial computing that predates Apple’s unveiling of visionOS by several years. We also dive into his experiences with other headsets including the HoloLens and the Magic Leap 1/2.
