How Apple Vision Pro is Going to Move Mountains
I explore how the Apple Vision Pro is set to revolutionize fields like medicine, data science, and AI. From doctors teaching the heart in 3D to spatial computing reshaping how we work, this device is moving mountains and transforming how we learn and interact with the world.

I went into the Apple Store at my local mall the other day.
You know, the one that’s always buzzing with people.
The air was electric.
Everyone gathered around the latest device: the Apple Vision Pro.
I couldn’t resist.
I had to try it.
So I did.
I slipped it on and entered a world that didn’t just feel different.
It felt revolutionary.
Let me tell you about something I heard.
A doctor is using this very headset to teach his students. Not with textbooks. Not with diagrams.
But with the human heart.
In 3D.
I mean it.
Medical students can now interact with the heart, not just read about it.
They can explore every artery, every valve, every beat, all inside the Vision Pro.
They can even study how it pumps blood in real-time.
The precision? Unmatched.
The understanding? Unbelievable.
It’s not like how they studied the heart five years ago.
Not at all.
One tweet said it perfectly:
"I mean it when I say that the Apple Vision Pro will be a game changer for education."
"Here’s how I studied the heart 5 years ago vs. how I can study it today, credit to the visionOS app Insight Heart."
"The contrast in experience and comprehension can’t be denied."
But it’s more than just medicine.
This is spatial computing.
It’s the future.
Imagine what this means for data science.
For AI.
You’re no longer tied to a screen.
You can see the data.
Manipulate it.
Interact with algorithms in a 3D space.
It’s like stepping inside your code and walking around.
Think about the possibilities.
Training models.
Visualizing neural networks.
Understanding patterns in ways we’ve never seen before.
Apple Vision Pro is going to move mountains.
Not just for doctors.
For all of us.
Because this isn’t just about seeing the world differently.
It’s about experiencing it differently.
And that’s where real change happens.
Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, recently introduced the Orion AR glasses.
In his interaction, he says that he believes these types of glasses will be the next major computing platform over phones.
Respectfully, I agree.
