I bought my Vision Pro because I’m 71 years old and have been enamored with technology ever since attending the New York World’s Fair in 1964. It was their glimpses of the future that enthralled me. I had my first computer class in 1969, though we only had a terminal with a cradle modem. My teacher suggested that we would have desktop computers within 10 years, and that prophecy came true. Later that year, I watched as men landed on the moon. In 1984, I was introduce to the Macintosh by a friend. I remember using a mouse for the first time. It was magic. I stood in line to buy the first iPhone in 2007. The Apple Vision Pro is something I’ve wished for my entire life. How could I not make the purchase?

[@guycortesi]

68 here. Similar path. 1964 Worlds Fair, first computer use at 15 at IBM Yorktown in Explorer scouts (IBM 360) - learning Fortran and Basic. First personal computer in 1977 (TRS-80). Mac in 1984 and even got a Newton! Got an iPhone in 2007, and various MacBook and Macs along the way. Got the Apple Watch 1st gen. It’s the future, and the VIsion Pro continues the trend. It’s like magic. I’m an electrical and computer engineer and worked much of my life in industry, then became a professor of engineering. As you said, how could I not make the purchase. (It really is a full-blown computer and so much more).

[@CraigsTechTalk]

That is so cool you bought one. I love that you were into the tech every step away. My goal is to keep up with tech as you have. Thank you for sharing your experience. It really is amazing technology. I wish my dad was around to see it as a big Star Trek fan. He would have loved it. Thanks for watching.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

That is great Guy. I am impressed you got the Newton even. That is great. Like you said it is a full blown computer. I am excited for the tech to become the norm. It just needs a sharing mode so you and others see the same thing. Thanks for watching.

[@bhagmeister]

Remember the monorail? Sinclair gas stations? Video telephony??

[@brendagray3220]

Your story is so similar to mine and I am 70 years young.

[@ggbrent1]

I’ve had the Vision Pro now for just over a month. I find myself getting up even earlier so I can enjoy a little time on the AVP before the day get started I also find myself staying up even later to use the Vision Pro. Everything is better to me when using the Vision Pro From KZbin to Instagram and of course, movie watching TV watching watching your own recorded videos. And what it can do with the Photos app spatial videos making my memories come to life in front of me I just can’t get enough

[@CraigsTechTalk]

That is great to hear you are enjoying yours so much. Content is so cool on it. It is amazing the spatial videos we can make. Panoramic photos are awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@illuminated_crown]

It's literally the apple 1 all over again. It'll be a collectors item one day

[@thegingershow9676]

No I think it’s the Macintosh. 40 years later.

[@TroikaMexicana]

Lovely video. I am getting mine in one week as I work as a producer and editor for a media company. I know this isn’t a perfect product, but it’s very important I stay up to date with where entertainment is moving. Btw, your lighting is phenomenal. Makes sense to hear you worked in that industry for so long haha. Cheers friend

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you very much for the lighting complement. I think that is a great idea as a producer and an editor. There is so much more value in shooting IMAX movies. It definitely will change the movie industry from a technical standpoint. No more making everything look good through the camera and not seeing all the lights and hardware to make the shot. Now everywhere will be in the camera shot. I hope you enjoy yours.

[@glassapple2970]

A little over a month into mine and I’m continually amazed at the experience. The hardest part is not being able to really share it. People I know who would love it would need lenses just to try it, and no amount of talking about it or videos of it have anything on the actual experience of it

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Very cool. I am glad to hear you are enjoying yours. It is a bummer that it can’t be shared. Even if you cast it to an Apple TV it looks like shaky. That is a bummer they would need lenses. It really is something to experience. My wife and daughter were blown away.

[@westmcgee9320]

The warping is so minimal on the AVP as-compared to Quest videos I’ve seen.

[@brendagray3220]

Love mine.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Glad to hear. Thanks for watching.

[@Dindonmasker]

i am definitely looking forward to see what samsung is working on! i had every generation of oculus and then meta headsets and i'm more then ready to switch to something else.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I would like to see what Samsung would bring to the table. I appreciate what Samsung does with phones.

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

I kept mine too, I mostly use it for 3D movies. Haven’t worn it out in public yet, but if they had Pokémon go for it I totally would! The new shared experiences are promising and I’m looking forward to seeing what content will be available in the future.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I am glad to har you are enjoying yours. 3D movies are amazing. I was watching Avengers end game and was blown away. The shared experience is one of the biggest things missing. I really wish guest mode was quicker to share things with others.

[@curtispazarjr4985]

Great review!!!!!

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I appreciate it Curtis. I hope you are doing well.

[@Reach41]

The absence of Steve Job is apparent with this product. As it is, I found it to just be an extension of existing technology onto a VR platform or the refinement of same. As that, it’s very, very good, but there is nothing new, nothing to please the techies.

[@Epic_Squirrel]

After I did the demo in the Apple Store, I had to walk out and smoke a cigarette because I was blown away of the reality. When I walked back in, I threw down my card and I walked out. I absolutely love my vision! I upgraded to the terabyte just in case and as far as I’m concerned, it is worth every single penny. I have not even picked up my MacBook using this. If you can afford it, do it we are at the precipice of what is coming.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

*Fun Fact* Currently, ipad 1 has no app support either, unless you kept it in its jailbroken state.

[@cmacmenow]

I gotta say ,that park you are sitting in,a real park...is quite the place!

[@CraigsTechTalk]

It is a great park. I went there because it is so quiet during the day. I didn’t feel as silly wearing the headset. Thanks for watching.

[@theclown888]

I’m glad I didn’t pick this one up, but I am loving your videos on it.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and am glad you are enjoying the videos. I think this is going to be great tech to follow.

[@archangelmichael8620]

I’m not gonna lie I agree the speaker system is mind blowing experience. I had to takeoff my headset just because I thought something happened outside for a moment.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Craig.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you Ron. I hope you are doing well.

[@DOUGMAC]

When I hit the record button all my windows close up... How do you keep them open and record at the same time?

[@StevenBrown-me]

I had that problem until I realized that I was taking video of my exterior environment. You need to do a video screen capture, accessible from the control center.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you Steven for answering this. The one thing I keep forgetting to do that drives me crazy is turning on the microphone. You do a long pinch on the record button and then turn on microphone. Multiple times I was doing a screen recording and had no audio.

[@DOUGMAC]

@@CraigsTechTalk oh I was recording my first back yard clip and played it back and got no audio. Im glad you mentioned this Craig. I will try this long pinch for recording audio. I hope it works. And recording the color eclipse today with the pro vision was a dud. lol.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

@DOUGMAC sorry to hear the eclipse didn’t work out. The audio you hear when I am in the park is all from a screen recording with microphone on.

[@DOUGMAC]

@@CraigsTechTalk I had a feeling it wouldn't work. That's why I had the SONY mirrorless on the tripod with the 200-500 mm lens. I got a couple good shots for sure. Keep up the great content. Thank you :) And the awesome tip that I will definitely use.

[@sonicsnake44]

One thing I would like to see come to VR headsets is the Screen X version of movies.

[@snuffchan]

After 1+ months with the VP, I love it even though all the caveats about practical applications etc are true. It's a breakthrough product and I know Apple will fully develop it and my investment will pay off.

[@JamesGowan]

I’m gonna get one eventually… the next model.

[@artisticscientist8719]

Do they have an effect on people's vision strength or not? I wonder, cause it is so close to your eyes, not sure if it will do something or not. I think it will really be bad for your vision 😕

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I was curious about that too. It can actually be gentler on the eyes. The reason why is that it is blacked out inside the Vision Pro. So the displays are able to run at a much lower intensity. Watching a bright TV in a dark room is more strain on the eyes. Your eyes have to adjust to try and balance the bright against the dark. The Vision Pro can run lower and give you an evenly lit environment. A balanced level is much gentler on the eyes. The bigger issue is red eye. Studies have found that people don't blink as much with the headset on. Then they take it off, have dry eyes and rub them making them red. Thanks for watching and mentioning this.

[@artisticscientist8719]

@@CraigsTechTalk oh ok. Thank you so much for clarifying that and for the information 😊👍

[@CraigsTechTalk]

@artisticscientist8719 you are welcome. I was really curious myself. It makes sense to me about less light going in the eyes. Have a great day.

[@twitchster77]

I really hate how this thing isn't more of a gaming device. I'd likely think about one if it were more of a gaming device like a Quest...but meh.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

It would be nice to see more games. Hopefully more of the good iPad games get moved over soon. I would like Call of Duty.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

Yeah, I'm not watching an accurate representation of someone walking a tightrope over what would be a fatal drop. ... but other than that I think there's an awful lot of promise in the AVP. I cannot even begin to justify the cost of the current model, but maybe I will be able to in a few years with a higher-resolution model. Yes, I think it needs even higher resolution.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

This is definitely a device that needs to be experienced. Anything I show is just another video. But once you put it on and experience it, then it gets exciting. Like you I see a lot of promise and really hope a lower priced version comes out soon. Thanks for watching.

[@mitcherny6965]

I find your conclusion after all the shocking minuses of the headset extremely baffling.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I can appreciate that. The two biggest factors that cancel out the minuses are, playing with the technology and blaming it on the channel. Thanks for watching.

[@bhagmeister]

Does “blame it on KZbin channel” = tax depreciation write-off for you?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Yes it does. Depreciation helps. I still found the best savings is not buying though. 😀

[@Kalikizz7o2]

This thing is gonna replace TVs , it’s another revolution for entertainment

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I am with you on it being a revolution for entertainment. Content is not going to be the same over these next few years.

[@sonicsnake44]

The only thing is the lack of sharability for people that are physically their with you.

[@Kalikizz7o2]

@@sonicsnake44 that alone gives me hope for humanity

[@davidcache]

just get a quest 3

[@toututu2993]

I have a quest 2 and nothing is similar to the Vision Pro like the superior UI. Quest 2/3 still have a very limited bare boned gaming dashboard style UI that designed to hope from games to games but not interact with bunch of softwares like what the Apple one does.

[@davidcache]

@@toututu2993 you obviously haven't picked up your quest in a long while. They've changed their UI to use pass through. The quest experience right now, is very similar to the vision pro. I think you should borrow someone's quest 3...

[@davidcache]

@@toututu2993 when was the last time you used your quest? sounds like your experience with the platform is dated.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I have heard the Quest 3 is great. Definitely a better price.

[@brendagray3220]

Why don’t you guys give this new device a chance….you did not start out riding a bicycle…you started with a tricycle.

[@lilmichael212]

The internet makes it super cool to jump on the bandwagon and make fun of things before even giving it a chance. I notice it with new music too, ppl will call an album trash the day it drops lol not to mention apple has always been a brand ppl love to hate. AirPods are the perfect example, ppl trashed it only for it to be the best selling product next to the iPhone in a few years.

[@princeofalltoasters8813]

My tricycle didn't cost the price of a used car

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I think that is a great point Brenda. I just think of the first blocky Kindle that was expensive and big. I waited for the cheaper and significantly smaller version 2. I am thankful for the early adopters so I get to use it later.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

🤣 I love that. A used car is awesome.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I think you are right Michael. It is amazing how dismissive people can be towards new things. But then when you give it a chance, you understand why someone or a group of people would put in so much time in creating it. Thanks for watching.

[@IshanKc-qf5dv]

bro look like Elon musk 😝😨

[@CraigsTechTalk]

A better looking version. He got the money, I got the looks. I wanted to trade for the money.

[@zomglemmein]

this guy is the most american looking guy ever.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I can see that. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. 😀
