Apple Vision Pro gets Rocket Homes and Wayfair support via new apps
Apple touts its new Vision Pro as the beginning of the spatial computing era; however, it may also have proven the start of the tone-deaf aspirational computing era, with Rocket Homes for one reasoning that if people will now just go on out there with $3,499.99 worth of tech on their faces, they can probably also stand to visor-shop for real estate (perhaps even at the same time, why not).
Therefore, even if a Vision Pro owner can now definitely never afford a home, they can at least "immerse themselves in the spaces" listed on Rocket Homes. The company's Real Estate Search app for visionOS even lets the viewer explore a house's exterior, surroundings and neighborhood to a certain degree.
Presuming that a sale is actually made, the Vision Pro user can then virtually furnish their imaginary dream home using the equally new Decorify app from Wayfair. In fairness, AR interior design is far from unheard-of, although this branded take on the technology supports features such as unlimited photo uploads, shopping a select amount of the company's inventory direct from the user's augmented space and custom "room filters", a Valentine's Day-themed example inexorably included.
As comical in one way or another either idea might be to some, Rocket Homes does argue that, as the virtual real estate market was valued at $60 billion in 2022 and may keep growing at a compound average of up to 27.5% until 2030, the concept, much like the Apple Vision Pro, seems inevitable as part of the world now, real or otherwise.
