Telegram Demos visionOS App

[MacRumors]

Telegram founder Pavel Durov today showed off a brief glimpse at Telegram's upcoming visionOS app, which is one of the first third-party visionOS app concepts that we've seen so far.

In the video, which is available on Telegram and was first noticed by 9to5Mac, the Telegram app has a translucent design that blends into the area surrounding it, which is the design language that Apple is using for visionOS.

The app has a sidebar that lists all of the available conversations that a user has going. Videos that are played pop out of the interface and become more immersive, while emoji characters take over the display and animate in unique ways when shared. Messages can be sent using a virtual keyboard or through dictation via Siri.

As with all visionOS icons on the Home interface, the Telegram icon animates and pops out a bit when it is visually selected, with the animation serving as a visual cue that the app is highlighted. A tap of the fingers launches the app, as the Vision Pro headset uses eye and gesture navigation.

Apple is expected to launch the Vision Pro in early 2024, which likely translates to during or before the month of April. We should soon be seeing many other third-party app visionOS experiences as the debut date approaches.

Now you can buy drugs in 3D.

 

[Mr. Dee]

Looks like a bad example if you ask me.

If you got a $3500 headset and your buddy has a $3500 headset you can throw 💩💩💩 emojis at each other for free.

That’s the power of Apple Vision Pro.

😍

Looks like a bad example if you ask me.

It’s basically just a chat window floating and being actually distracted by what is behind it instead of being in focus on a normal screen. I don’t get the point 🫠

I guess the example in the comment above mine is better

Animated stuff is disgusting on Telegram. When I send a smiling face, I don’t want it to laugh, spin, explode and vomit unicorns before it smiles.

I would like to correct you just a little bit..

"if you're stupid enough to buy a $3500 Vision Pro and you got a buddy who also stupid enough to buy one than, you can........."

 

[Bigkool2inSC]

I'm buying one an not even opening it.

so I can sell it to some collector for a ridiculous amount in a decade or two.

 

[jvchappy]

OoOoOoOo can't wait to share disinformation in spacial 3D!

 

[klasma]

It's strange that they are showcasing this, because it doesn't show anything where the 3D would bring any benefit (unless you count 3D sticker animations).

You right my bad

Well you can both make yourself virtual monkeys and do that

 

[Fuzzball84]

Once you put on Vision Pro... Apple will feed you a commercial for the latest M4 series processor...

Yes, your 3500 dollar headset is out of date...

 

[phgreer]

Oh dear Lord....... So it will be like the time of Geocites homepages, will midi files play automatically? Will be be able to see an "under construction" digging in our living room floor?

 

[till]

The kind of serious power user with $3500 who's genuinely excited about "spatial computing" doesn't want a bunch of distracting 3D garbage in their messaging app that's off to the side somewhere.

 

[macduke]

Now that is some digital vomit. No thanks!

 

[miiwtoo]

c'mon guys, its an example, remember, visionOS is iOS on AR, nothing Pro right now, only the name, what do you expect, oh yes, you bought that name and think you can save the world 🤣

but you right in one thing, the price is INSANE and a JOKE,

 

[mectojic]

So everything in visionOS is just more invasive and attention-seeking?

 

[Bigkool2inSC]

I am pretty big apple fan with lots of apple items in the house and have been using them for years now..

This is one of those items that I feel like it is doomed to fail..

I just don't believe there is a market for it or will ever be one...

Oh gawd. Hope this doesn't spur the Unicode Consortium to come up with even more emojis 🤮

I say that about foldable phones. And while I couldn't care less about this product, I do think there will be huge demand for it.

 

[jwdsail]

...

I mean, it could be worse?

You could be doppled into an anteater?

What, no MST3K fans here?

Anyone planning on tuning into the livestream Thursday? Or the Turkey Day Marathon?

Just unsubscribe from those channels. You're welcome.
