Coming back from the gym, I left my AirPod pros in as I did some housework and such. Had to take a call that paused the music. So I’m wearing them without any music coming through and going about things. Like ten minutes later I realize I’m still wearing them and forgot. All the normal noises I’ve been hearing, sink, vent, footsteps, etc. were through “transparency mode”. Basically a mic records the outside world, filters the audio, and plays it back through the speakers instantaneously so that it feels completely natural.
Apple tried this concept with their VR headset but the tech isn’t there yet. Everything you see is a recording of the world on a display. AirPods are only from 8 years ago and they’re this good. Trying to imagine a decade from now… This is veering into conspiracy theory thread territory.
