SAN DIEGO (KSWB) — Police in San Diego are urging people to be careful after a TikTok video circulated showing a man wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset cross a street — steps away from stunned police officers.
“It was a sight that had us pausing in bewilderment,” San Diego Police Department officials wrote in a social media post after officers in the Central Division found themselves “‘face-to-face with the future.”
The headset-clad man, wearing a light-colored parka, bright green shorts and sneakers, can be seen gesturing with his right hand before walking into the intersection, steps away from a trio of officers.
“While we’re all for exploring new dimensions and technology, let’s remember the importance of pedestrian safety,” the department wrote. “Keep those virtual experiences on the sidewalk, folks, and let’s cross streets the old-fashioned way — with our eyes wide open to the real world, unobstructed and without distractions!”
Video shared by San Diego Humor on Instagram purportedly showed the view from the perspective of the headset user, who appeared to be making selections from a virtual menu. In the background you can hear the song “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder.
San Diego police commented with a laughing and “mind blown emoji,” adding, “look twice before crossing the street, ensuring nothing, not even distractions, can break your careful stride!”
Apple launched the Vision Pro with a starting price tag of $3,499 earlier this year.
