Wow, imagine if Apple starts integrating their stores with their products into connected life experiences. The stores become showcases for personalized experiences for life, work, and play. Companies are already integrating Watch and VisionPro with biofeedback. Might be something consumers need to deeply experience to believe, from the spatial desktop to music, games, and movies, desk to couch to bed.

- geraldwhen 3y agoAh yes, the joys of traveling through high crime mall areas to arrive at a crowded Apple Store. At least one has a permanent police presence at the door.
- catchnear4321 3y agothat’s the killer app for the headset. access to a virtual apple store with no crowding, no wait, and no pilgrimage required. payment charged to apple card using an eyeball scan. hey, siri, let’s go to the mall.
- CSSer 3y agoI almost did a spit take. Siri is so painfully bad it could probably even screw that up.

- sclarisse 3y agoBetter the mall than the office, I’ll give them that much.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoHa ha, you are not at all describing my experience with the Apple Store in Omaha, Nebraska. YMMV (your mall may vary?).

- scarface_74 3y agoI keep forgetting that the US is an urban hell scape where everyone is required to carry around automatic weapons. I was in San Francisco last year and walk from the financial district to the pier and I wasn’t nervous at all. My wife and I “nomad” across the US to major cities across the US half the year. I’m comfortable walking around most places during the day.
- robg 3y agoSome examples: - Game play that changes with your heart rate - Switching easily from work mode to a meditation - Getting ready for bed by watching a VR sunset Imagine walking into an Apple Store and seeing as new customers are getting fitted and exploring these experiences on 100” OLEDs. Converting the masses requires displaying entirely new experiences, from work to play.
- howinteresting 3y agoWait, you're being earnest here?
- robg 3y ago1000%. I’ve worked for almost 15 years in empathic computing, what we have now for screen time is already deeply dystopian. So the question remains how next generation computing experiences can make our connected lives better. Because connectivity isnt going away, and maybe if we’re strapping it to our face we’ll be much more conscious of the times we choose not to.
- howinteresting 3y agoYou understand that this is miserable and dystopian, right? As humans we shouldn't be leading that kind of "integrated", "personalized" life. We already have too much of that going on with YouTube and Facebook.
- robg 3y agoBetter context switching from work to meditation to entertainment then sleep. Anything health serious in that direction with biomarkers would be far better than what we have now for screen time.
