This is a “virtual AR” device, so it’s easy to be fooled into thinking that it’s “just” displaying the camera feed, as Quest does. But it also gathers mesh and lighting information about the room, and it uses that to *transform* the internal projection of the environment in certain cases.
• For instance, [the film player bounces](https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10072?time=1046) simulated emissive light from the “screen” onto the ceiling and floor, while “dimming” the rest of the room.
• Controls and interface elements [cast shadows](https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10072?time=879) onto the 3D environment.

My father once told me that the three topics people are the most irrational about are religion, politics, and nutrition. While you may or may not agree with this, these topics have two things in common that favor misinformation: They relate strongly to our identities, and they’re hard to get definitive answers about.

“Twitter gamifies communication,” the philosopher C. Thi Nguyen has argued; it’s custom-built to do things like score apologies, to drag users into a rating system that has nothing to do with morality. An unforgiving god rules Twitter, where the modern economy of apology runs something like this: If you express what I believe to be a toxic or ignorant opinion, you must apologize according to my rules for apology. If you do, I may forgive you. If you don’t, I will punish you, and damn you unto eternity.
