Apple's latest gadget, the Vision Pro face computer, has been making waves in San Francisco's upscale social scene. Priced at $3,499, the device offers an immersive "spatial computing" experience with productivity and entertainment applications. Since its release on February 2, people have been seen wearing the Vision Pro in public settings in cities like San Diego, prompting police warnings about wearing them while crossing the street.

According to reports from The San Francisco Standard, techies in the city have been incorporating the Vision Pro into various social events. One notable gathering hosted by the AI collective Cerebral Valley had attendees interacting with virtual elements visible only through their headsets. Videos from the event on X (formerly Twitter) showed guests engaging with invisible objects in the air.

The high price of the Vision Pro has limited access for many, with most individuals only trying it out at Apple's free store demos. However, for those who do have the device, like Business Insider's Jordan Hart, it has been seen as an effective "party trick" at events such as techie dinners in the city. A post shared on X by Nick Linck, founder of the Residency, showcased guests at a crowded dinner party wearing the Vision Pro, suggesting that it has become a staple at San Francisco social gatherings.

While Apple recommends using the Vision Pro in controlled indoor settings and staying aware of surroundings while wearing the device, reports indicate that some individuals are taking it out to dance parties and dinner events. With its unique features and immersive experience, the Vision Pro is changing the way people engage with technology in social settings in San Francisco.
