A tech engineer has been heavily criticized on social media for wearing a virtual reality headset to his own wedding, insisting the new bride take photos with the device.
“My wife told me ‘you don’t take photos with the Vision Pro (virtual reality headset). But I told him it was just a joke,” the newlywed, Jacob Wright, recounted last week in an interview with Futurism.
The 24-year-old engineer thus attracted criticism from several Internet users after sharing two photos from his wedding where we can see him dancing and posing with the augmented reality headset on his head, alongside his new bride, Cambree Wright, in her white dress, on February 10 in Utah.
Except that in one of the photos, seen more than 359,000 times, the news seems perplexed while watching her husband immersed in the virtual universe, in front of their wedding photographer.
“It was the last thing I wanted photos of,” the young woman stressed to the American media, confiding to the local San Francisco newspaper SFGATE that “when he’s in the Apple Vision Pro, I let him do his thing.” “.
Fortunately, despite her fears, she would not have had to fight with the engineer, who works for an artificial intelligence company, to get him to abandon the helmet for the duration of the ceremony, he who was already planning to put it aside “out of respect for God and his wife,” he would have indicated.

Nonetheless, the newlywed explained that there could be benefits to wearing the headset during his wedding for its ability to retain deeply immersive photos and videos that would practically allow you to relive a moment.
“I have a video of me there with all the bridesmaids, all the groomsmen – everyone who came to the ceremony. I think it will be super cool to show our kids in 20 years,” said Jacob Wright.
But several Internet users did not seem convinced that the joke was worth it.
“What is the return policy on husbands?” joked one of them, while another indicated that if the bride were the divorce papers would not be far away, according to the “New YorkPost.”
Apple’s new virtual reality headsets have caused a lot of discussion since its launch at the beginning of February, when several authorities had to speak out to remind users to be careful.
Some were filmed crossing the street with the helmet – which reproduces the outside world using cameras – on their heads, while one was reportedly seen driving a Tesla on autopilot .
