Spatial Personas are terrifyingly cool

Is the Apple Vision Pro "Persona" feature still firmly stuck in the uncanny valley and make me feel like I'm trapped in a Polar Express vortex? Yes.

Is the newly-released Spatial Persona mode way cooler than the default Persona-in-a-box the device shipped with? Yes.

Does all the engineering Apple has poured into the SharePlay API and frameworks finally have a meaningful purpose? Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. That earns Spatial Persona's a Certified Cool Stuff™ rating from me.

Super fun experience playing around with this new beta-of-a-beta feature with Aaron today. I'll definitely chat about it on my next podcast.

Got a taste for fresh, hot takes?
