Apple Posts Vision Pro Job Listings in Australia, China, and Japan Following UK Last Year

[MacRumors]

Apple this week posted identical job listings related to the Vision Pro in Australia, China, and Japan, as international availability of the headset looms.

Apple is looking to hire a so-called "Briefing Experience Specialist" in all three countries. This is a sales position that will involve demonstrating the Vision Pro's capabilities to business/enterprise customers, according to the job listing.

"You will design and deliver demonstrations that present the capabilities of the product and its revolutionary new technology," the job listing says. "You will also showcase solutions, representative use cases, and transformative user workflows that inspire customer investment in the technology, the visionOS platform, and the product itself."

Apple posted the same job listing for the Vision Pro in the U.K. last year, but the headset remains available in the U.S. only following its February 2 launch.

On its website, Apple says the Vision Pro will launch in more countries later this year, but the company has not provided a more specific timeframe, or indicated exactly where the headset will become available next. Last month, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said he believed the Vision Pro would launch internationally before Apple's annual developers conference WWDC, which typically takes place in the first week of June.

MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris recently obtained information that suggests Apple is preparing to expand the Vision Pro to Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the U.K. at a minimum, and the "Briefing Experience Specialist" job listings have now been posted in at least four of those countries.

Thanks, Alicia!

This would actually be an incredibly difficult job.
I can't think of one use case, and would be unable to lie enough to convince people that this is revolutionary or inspiring.

Let’s go!

visionOS 2.0 Beta 1 in roughly 75 days.

That’s why you don’t make the big bucks at Apple.

The job takes "vision" ... lots of it

I, too, believe one should habitually lie for large sums of money 😏

Feel free to lie to your spouse and say you are donating to a charity but instead CashApp/Zelle/Apple Pay me a large sum of money. Haha.

If you thought the AppleCar was good, wait until you try the VisionPro.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum, being able to easily talk about at least a couple dozen creative use possibilities. No lying necessary.

I actually think the Vision Pro has more compelling use cases for business applications than the end consumer. Training and simulations is just one of them.

Anyone still using their Vision Pro? I don't mean to be snarky about it. If you're using it regularly, why?

Tell us why you stopped.

Sounds like you need friends or a family.
Even a small old tv would be better than anything strapped to your face.

Expecting to see international launches happening in the next few months.

Anyone still using their Vision Pro?

Hours daily. I am continually amazed at the technology in the VP and how they have implemented it. It has its flaws (weight, glare) but for me they are insignificant compared to the pluses. When you moving out of an immersive environment it starts coming back at your lap first so you can see things like a keyboard.

1. Travel to Zimbabwe, Machu Picchu, Foz do Iguaçu without leaving your chair using the share spatial app. It gives you 90% of the visual experience for those who can't actually go there.

2. Use a 6 foot monitor from your mac

3. Play lossless music from your AirPods Pro 2 with the album cover inches from your face. Much more enjoyable.

4. Run a "Mindfullness" or other mediation app to help relax and sleep. Take a snooze by a running creek in an Oregon winter scene. See the results of the mediation if you have an Apple Watch.

5. Watch a 3D concert where the singer swings her hair in your face with AmazeVR concerts, although it is a bit creepy.

6. Explore the constellations. Grab one out of the night sky to know more about it with SkyGuide

7. Checkout which flights are landing at an airport in 3D with their plane type, where they came from, etc. with testflight

8. Explore extinct creatures with David Attenborough. Watch them in 3D in their native environment.

9. Convert your old photos into 3D ones with Spacial Media Toolkit. Just a start but shows what can be done.

10. Explore the Mars lander in 3D. Grab a part and see what it does with Exploring Mars.

11. Travel to a museum for a close look at the Mona Lisa with Art Authority museum. Explore contemporary artists with Art Universe.

12. Not a gamer but occasionally play Legos in 3D or place parts on a music store

13. Movies, some in 3D, of course with Apple TV and Disney Plus. Much better than going to the theater. No fuzzy screen, better sound.

And this is just the start. More great stuff is coming.

Things to look for once VP is available in your market.

No wonder, you somehow managed to dimensionally reverse the diagonal on that LG.

Right, but vision is a smaller percentage of the travel experience anyway, and much of that smaller percentage can be gained from watching online videos, so the net gain compared with visiting the place is most certainly nowhere near close to 90%. I don't have time now to think about the rest now, and I don't like the sound of it "coming back at my lap," whatever that means. But it is actually good to hear from people selling the positives of Gen 1!

For me it is the things you see when traveling which are most important. Those visual memories are what I come back to years later - replaying 2 giraffes in Africa play fighting with their long necks. Everything else is secondary.

Youtube is not comparable. Being fully immersed in a panorama where you can move your head up, down, right, left to see exactly what you saw when you were there is, again, as I said 90% of the experience of being there. Youtube video doesn't come even close.

Looking at my panoramas in Lightroom even on a large screen doesn't do anything for me. Watching them in the VP gives me the same feelings and emotions as when I was there taking the photo. Minus the spray from the waterfalls of course ...

I see... It is a bit different if you are talking about looking back at your own footage I suppose. I was also thinking about the difference between just sitting in an armchair compared with going there and the interactions with people, food, smells, the sun or rain or snow on you face, the unexpected adventure that the missed train led to, funny or even frightening experiences that were not filmed etc. Memories of all sorts...

A sales rep that sincerely believes in the product won't have trouble, or have to prevaricate, when selling to a prospective client who already believes - or is at least open minded - and is in a phase of business where there is cashflow into R&D. Sales calls are easier with insider information; swoop in like Deus ex Machina, right when they're already pumped. And Apple won't be hiring a hungry youngster just for comeliness, agility, strength, health... err, wait, that's AD&D... Apple is hiring for industry inside connections to gain some easy inertia.

On the other hand, trying to sell to skeptics will excoriate one's soul and cross-cut shred it for pigeon food. But that's where the preponderance of the money is, particularly in military-industrial vertical markets, and in civil engineering. Selling to skeptics requires some things:

• Turnkey apps that add value without compromising security. There are too many possibilities to list, but I can tell you what will not fly:
  • Not stupid PWAs.
  • Not stupid web versions of MS Office.
  • Not restricted to stupid WebKit skins.
  • NOT stupid APIs.
  • Not a stupid code-your-own-****-kit.
• ADA Section 508 compliance.
• Not merely IOS-like "Accessibility features". The VP is a 508 disaster.
• Multi-user provisioning, OS (profiles) and fitment wise.
• FISMA compliance, including inventory, auditing and UEBA.

As it stands now, the VisionOS ain't even in the ballpark for my industries.

This reminds me of when the Newton was Apple's newest hotness. I, personally LOVED the Newton, and I used my last one until it literally decomposed in my trembling paws... "Dammit, Jim, I'm a security engineer, not a doctor!" Even after all this time, the iPhone's PIM features still aren't as slick and smoothly integrated as the Newton was.
