Welcome to VP Land 🌐

Well, we’ve got the date. Apple’s Vision Pro will launch on February 2nd, with pre-orders starting January 19th.

In anticipation of this new chapter of AR/VR/new version of reality, there’s been no shortage of AR tools and devices at CES, which is in full swing this week.

And with CES going on, this issue is going to be one big roundup of the most interesting computer and video related tech we found (no smart mops or talking robots, though this instant ice cream machine looks pretty cool for the edit suite).

Let’s jump into it!
