My tour of Finland continues in Tampere meeting up with my dear friends and AWS Heroes @anahit.bsky.social and @rolle.bsky.social! They've both been part of my AWS journey since way back when! ❤️

If you have the chance to test these out, I highly recommend. Of course this is as a product very expensive and more of a first generation tech demo, but keeping that in mind, there are quite impressive elements in the experience which are totally on another level to competiton.

After this experience I am actually more convinced that controlling things simply by looking at them will be one type of user interface which we all will experience in higher volumes in the future.

While combined with the fact that this equipment is vision controlled - you select things on display simply by looking at them - and it worked flawlessly after short calibration sequence with my eyesight was quite amazing.

But to my surprise they had a scanner at the store to scan my glasses, then a QR code was presented about the results, which was scanned to the app. A minute later I was presented by a set of Vision Pro's and when putting them on, it was absolutely spot on.

I had the chance to test out Apple Vision Pro while in US in the first week of December. I wear eyeglasses with quite specific prescription and when I was presented the chance to personally try out this piece of tech, I was quite suspicious if I could experience them any meaningful way.

It's one of my passions to be on look out for different kinds of weak signals about how our future will start to look like. I am not easily impressed, but for testing the product depicted here I was. But for different reasons you might think.

The AWS Heroes program is something very special.

The REAL heroes are the AWS employees who we've worked with for years.

Thank you @werner.social, @rossbarich.bsky.social, @farrah.bsky.social, & everyone else who I can't find in here yet 😂🥰
