0:00.0	Welcome to the Virchcast, the Flagshoo Podcast of Spatial Computing.
0:06.0	I'm your friend David Pierce and I am in Borobora.
0:09.0	I mean, no, I'm not. I'm in my basement where I always am.
0:12.0	But I'm in the Apple Vision Pro in one of the immersive
0:15.3	environments. And what I've discovered about this thing is that obviously you can turn the Vision
