Apple recently unveiled its new VR headset and users on social media have been quick to point out the product’s similarities to Ready Player One.
Following the unveiling of the Apple Vision Pro, the company's new futuristic VR headset, Twitter users have been quick to draw similarities to 2018's Ready Player One. Based on the novel of the same name by Ernest Cline, Ready Player One is directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cookie, and Ben Mendelsohn. The science fiction adventure film takes place in the future largely in a virtual world known as the OASIS, which users access through headsets.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT At the company's recent WWDC 2023 keynote event, the company unveiled the Apple Vision Pro headset, which allows users to use apps, watch content, and otherwise interact with an augmented reality. Users on Twitter were quick to compare not just the headset but also the specific framing and shot choice used in the video presentation to elements of Ready Player One, and not everyone is feeling good about the new device.
How Similar Is The Apple Vision Pro To Ready Player One? While, on the surface, the Apple Vision Pro looks a lot like the headsets in Ready Player One, their functions are quite different. In the Spielberg film, for example, the headsets are a portal to a virtual reality world known as the OASIS .
That alone, then, makes the two products very different, but it's not hard to see the Vision Pro as one step closer to this eventual reality. In Ready Player One, the world is overpopulated, polluted, and generally not in a great state. The OASIS, then, is where vast swathes of the population go to escape, forgoing real-world interaction in favor of living in a more fantastical space where they can be whoever they want to be.
It should also be mentioned that one of the key themes of Ready Player One is the dangers of capitalism. Sheridan's main character, for example, is attempting to secure control of the OASIS so that a large tech corporation can't flood it with ads. Considering Apple is one of the largest technology companies in the world, it's not hard to see why some Twitter users are approaching the new device with a measure of apprehension.
