Apple has reportedly acquired Datakalab
One interesting coincidence is that the CEO worked previously at a startup that was also acquired by Apple (Emotient)
Seems like they will really push VisionOS, which is cool. Hopefully this leads to innovative ways to use it, because those initial videos of pasta timers and "smarter" vacuuming were not at all what I wanted.

The death of a company is when it’s acquired by Google/Microsoft/Apple. Founders get the golden parachute, investors get their 100X exit.
Whoever is left after the acquisition is left to babysit the dinosaurs. Maybe leadership decides to shelve the IP, kill the project and any active development. Move promising assets to other teams or transfer them as backfill.
After dust settles. The “dead weight” is killed off.
Do they have to disclose how much they paid?
So do we know how much it cost
Never heard of them. Anything particularly interesting about this acquisition; they do many?
Does this mean Siri can soon do more than setting a timer ? … even that doesn’t work sometimes
Not Mistral, for anyone else that reads the comments first.

From a developers perspective, Apple’s computer vision frameworks are already top-notch. I’m wondering how AI could further enhance the experience on the Apple Vision Pro. The greatest deficiency seems to me currently to lie in ideas for how this technology can be used sensibly.
