Apple’s Vision Pro Is a Breakthrough in Photorealistic Mixed Reality
News of Apple’s Vision Pro has been dominating the tech industry since its unveiling at the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday. Described as the “world’s first spatial computer,” the futuristic goggle-like piece of hardware operates on a new system called visionOS and has been making headlines, not merely because it marks Apple’s foray into AR/VR but also because of its $3,500 USD price tag. (For context, the Vision Pro’s closest competitor, the Meta Quest 3, starts at $499 USD).Hypebeast was on-site at WWDC 2023 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, and had the opportunity to be among the “first people in the world,” per an Apple employee, to test out the prototypal Vision Pro – in fact, several Apple employees mentioned that they hadn’t yet tried it yet themselves.Fo...

2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition: How Hardcore Is Too Hardcore?
Toyota's marketing for its Gazoo Racing division of vehicles has been full speed ahead since its GR 86 launch in 2021. Alongside the compact coupe came a more powerful GR Supra, a sports car for the masses with its plentiful power and superb handling characteristics. The third car to release, however, took audiences by surprise when it was unveiled in 2022: a sports-tuned version of the humble and family-friendly Corolla. For Toyota to release a sporty four-door hatchback that is both fun and functional was highly respectable, as shown by the extensive waitlist lengths for a GR Corolla. But its marketing division gave the car three tiers: the Core model, a more defined and capable Circuit Edition, and a track-prepped limited Morizo Edition named after Toyota president Akio Toyoda's racing ...

Daniel Malikyar is an Afghani-American photographer and filmmaker who brings a humanist touch to each subject he documents.

After Years of Iconic Interviews, Louis Theroux Now Wants to Redefine Podcasts
Louis Theroux is the definitive interviewer. To be interviewed by him is an honor – few would dare to decline his offer to tell your story. Put simply, storytelling is what he does best; his groundbreaking series Weird Weekends didn’t just redefine the documentary industry, it defined Theroux. Through this, he developed his signature inquisitive yet coy approach, and his oeuvre has become the de facto benchmark of what makes a great story. Theroux shone a light on “weirdos,” fringe communities, and outsiders. His technique is to make you feel comfortable in his presence, to not push too hard, and to make you feel like he is one of you – only he’s not, and he is interrogating you without you knowing it, thus giving people a platform to express themselves and their ways of life openly, for b...

Everything We Know About Travis Scott’s ‘Utopia’
Travis Scott has been teasing Utopia for years. The rapper first gave word of the follow-up to 2018’s Astroworld in July 2020 with an Instagram post simply captioned “Utopia.” Three years later, fans have seemingly gotten a boatload of teasers, yet no actual music from the inscrutable artist.Scott went on hiatus following the tragic deaths of 10 Astroworld festival attendees in 2021, however, he returned to the limelight quickly – even with approximately $750 million USD in lawsuits filed still pending trial.
