7:22 am
straight forward. facetime uses a feature called persona. use the vision pro to take 3 pictures of yourself stitches. those together to make a moving version of your head. it's strange, but apple continues to improve this overall. apple vision pro is just at the beginning. apple truly created something out of the future. hopefully the price will get more affordable. so the experience will be more within reach. make no mistake. the apple vision pro is an incredible piece of technology with a bright future. >> but that $3500 price point is definitely holding it back. also sharing the vision pro experience with a family member or a friend is not the easiest process. if you want to read my full review, go to my website. rich on tech dot tv. i'm rich demuro and you our tech smart. >> still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, the tsa is testing new security measures at airports by the move is raising some concerns among passengers.
