A video of an air hostess from Emirates airlines trying on a pair of Apple Vision Pro on flight is viral. The reel on Instagram by Italian digital creator Otto Climan.
In it, an air hostess is seen taken aback when she sees Climan with the Apple Vision Pro. When the influencer offers the device to the excited airhostess for a try, she initially refused it saying that she only wanted his opinion on it, but soon she gave in.
"You're the first person I have seen with this," she said before adding that she had only seen people using it on TikTok.
The airhostess returned the Apple Vision Pro to Climan after a brief trial and thanked him profusely, still visibly excited at having been able to experience the virtual reality goggles.
Responding to the video, Emirates commented: "We wanna try too!"
The price of the headset starts at $3,499 (approx. Rs 2,90,000) for the base variant with 256GB storage.
