Stephen Colbert, the host of The Late Show on CBS, has expressed his admiration and excitement for the Apple Vision Pro, the iPhone maker’s first venture into the virtual reality market. 

“If I do not get one, I will die,” Colbert said during the opening monologue on his show on February 6. 

The comedian, who is known for his witty and satirical commentary on current events, said he was lucky enough to try out the new virtual reality (VR) headset for about 45 minutes and was blown away by the experience.

After taking off the headset, Colbert said he was amazed by the quality and realism of the VR graphics and features. He praised Apple for creating such a revolutionary product. The host also joked that he was sure that the technology would have some drawbacks in the future, but he did not care.

He then showed his audience a video of a Wall Street Journal reporter trying out the product. In the video, the reporter wore the Apple Vision Pro while she was cooking and set two different virtual alarms over a pot of boiling pasta and a pan full of sautéing mushrooms. 

Colbert was not convinced by the reporter’s use of the headset for cooking, and he expressed his preference to use it for more adventurous purposes. He joked that he would rather cook in The Matrix — a reference to the sci-fi movie where humans are plugged into a virtual reality system that simulates their world.

A Look at the Apple Vision Pro

The Apple Vision Pro is a VR headset that also features augmented reality (AR) functionalities, such as overlaying digital information in the real world. 

The headset, which was released on February 2, is Apple’s first entry into the VR market and is expected to compete with Meta’s Quest headset, which is already popular among VR enthusiasts.

Designed to offer a high-quality and immersive VR experience, the Apple Vision Pro has a wide field of view, high resolution, low latency, and spatial audio. It also boasts a powerful processor, long battery life, and a sleek and comfortable design. It can be connected to an iPhone or a Mac, or run standalone apps.

The device supports a variety of VR content, such as games, movies, education, and social media. 

One of the most anticipated VR games that will launch on the Apple Vision Pro is Victoria VR, a crypto metaverse game that claims to be the first of its kind to launch on the Apple headset.

The Launch of Victoria VR on Apple Vision Pro

Victoria VR, the new blockchain-based MMORPG, is set to launch in the second quarter of 2024, offering a realistic and immersive virtual world powered by Web3 technology. The game will feature stunning graphics and engaging gameplay, as well as a user-driven and decentralized economy based on the Victoria VR token.

According to the game’s developers, Victoria VR will be the first of its kind: a blockchain-based MMORPG in VR with realistic graphics powered by Unreal Engine and owned by its users. They also claim that the game will form a complex digital environment that will showcase the capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro and the power of Web3.

Victoria VR is part of the metaverse, a shared online space that transcends physical boundaries and connects users through various platforms and devices. The metaverse concept has gained traction recently, with Meta (formerly Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg announcing his vision to build a metaverse platform. 

One of the industries that could benefit from the metaverse is the online casino industry, as it has already demonstrated its ability to adapt and innovate with new technologies. Online casinos have already adopted VR and AR technologies, creating more realistic and engaging gaming environments for their users. The casino world moving into metaverse could open up new possibilities and opportunities for both players and operators.
