Apple Vision Pro Hands-On Review

[@Sam-nn9hv]

The tech is really awesome and you can see how in 5-10 years this may be a big deal when the technology becomes cheaper and more intelligent.

[@deltadom33]

It could get more expensive in the future look at the iPhone 15 it could be like 10k in the future

[@jensenraylight8011]

the future is Apple Vision without Headset, just hologram with no screen, everything just floating around without having to wear everything. and everything will be as natural as if it was all exist in the real world. This will disrupt the Smartphone, Pc, Laptop space. Not AI, AI is just a Fad.

[@deltadom33]

@@jensenraylight8011 Microsoft illumniroom did that but they renamed that

[@lilmichael212]

⁠​⁠@@deltadom33 the cool thing about tech though is that it’s deflationary, so overtime you get more for the same amount if not less relative to capability, for example the first phone was $500 but you only got 4gb of storage along with not even a 10th of the processing power. At $1000 what the iPhone is able to do now makes it relatively the same value as that first iphone at half the price. a glasses verison of the AVP could cost less than 3k in the future but have 10k worth of capability.

Only you can see what you’re doing and I think it only detects one pair of hands. If his hands were visible the Vision Pro wouldn’t get confused. It’s not really a security issue at all. It’s like if someone randomly clicked on your trackpad for no reason. As for how many false triggers there might be, we’ll see.

[@CheeseLovingGuy]

Ah brings back memories of when we were all moving to 3D films and 3D TV's. But once the novelty had gone ... I am not saying this is that but I wait to see

[@En1gmatic1]

As awesome as this is, a few youtubers who have been using this for a few days now have pointed out exactly what I was worried about. And it's the same fundamental issue all VR headsets have, and it's that phase where after it's "NEW" and "EXCITING" and "COOL", it eventually just becomes a hassle and you get to a point where you ask yourself: "Do i really care to get up, get it, put it on, and have it on my face?" It sounds like not that much, but when smartphones are already with us 100% of the time and we're already seated in front of our TVs, That seemingly effortless ritual getting into a headset actually is more daunting and just not worth the effor after the wow factor wears off. ...sounds like retention is still going to be a big barrier even with more normalized apps which is still more inviting that standing/ active gaming (Quest 3). I dont see these as quite the next step as they dont quite have the passive addiction form factor our phones and TVs have. I'm willing to bet that over half the purchasers of the AVP are going to nne asked about the headset a year from now, and say: " Oh...yea i haven't used that thing in months..."

[@zorgon410]

I use my oculus pro everyday I can’t wait to get the vision

[@En1gmatic1]

@zorgon410 same here. I'm an enthusiast for stand-alone to the max! Use both my Quest Pro and 3 daily since 2019 introduced me to Quest 1. but I'm being realistic from observation of social norms and questioning my friends around me who aren't as into VR and not quite sold on wearing these things seriously on their own. We're a rare breed. There's probably less than 1% if us vs. The general public, fully bought in, and enthusiastic about wearing these things for personal entertaimment and day-to-day. It's still too novel a concept to your average joe. They'll try it bc "it's neat" but headsets have too much of a goofy looking stigma that alot of working class adults would feel even silly to do it alone. The smartphone never had that barrier to gain mass adoption. The iphone was a seamless integration to your day to day and added benefits never afforded before. (The whole internet in your pocket..EVERYWHERE!) "But look how normalized airpods have bc after their initial reception of looking goofy"...again outside of that? They cut the cord, and are all benefit. ..VR is just cool and New, but all things just "cool and new" generally fall to becoming just a temporary trend, if VR can even get there. Again it doesnt add anything of real value to your day to day that your phone and or tablets cant alread do. It's just a fancier way to do it

[@wmurch3]

yup. my quest doesn't get used as much bynke but my son loves it.

[@joelface]

I think the screen being so good will help with that "hassle" a lot. This thing can do things better than your phone and your TV, beyond VR gaming. But I do think that currently there is not enough of that content to keep people interested. I really believe that volumetric video capture technology needs to advance first. That will unlock VR films, VR social media, VR family movies, ...other .. things... people want.. haha.. It is a huge missing puzzle piece right now. When that catches up, people will FOR SURE put on the headsets to experience it.

[@dandansfu]

same and I only watched 2. ppl didnt even want 3d tv with a simple glasses . yes the tech is more complex and complicated , but if human nature tells us , convenience and quick to get it done is the most important thing . so important that even some ppl will sacrifice their right and privacy eg, social media and streaming and cloud storage @@cristibaluta

I'm thinking of buying one of these. One BIG thing I find frustrating about Apple products is that they release a new and improved version a year or less later.

What I've been wondering is can you hotswap the batteries? If you have two batteries and want to swap them, does the entire headset shut off if the battery disconnects or is there a very small amount of battery in the headset that allows you to swap them without the entire thing shutting down

[@DannoHung]

Nope. Does support using while charging though, so you can daisy chain an extra battery on. That's a bit annoying. I would definitely have appreciated a five minute battery switch window. I guess they didn't want to get accused of forcing you to buy multiple apple batteries?

The apple device ability to put screens / apps on different places at home and who knows maybe in the world by using GPS is fantastic. You do a trek today at the US and you are living in Spain and decide that next year you return to the same trek in the US and many screens are waiting there in the US for you at the same spots you wete a year ago including direction arrows ; All you had created in the past trip . Also screens all over the city you live in just turn on GPS. Also opening multi pages of word or acrobat reader on your room wall so you can read and learn without turning pages and move between different pages by looking at certain page and getting closer to it . Great way to learn for exam.

[@SwitchUpYt]

They should have integrated the battery in to the rear section of the strap balancing the weight. All on face is a really bad idea and hurts a lot after a while

[@Carokas42]

i bet, they did it on purpose, so they can shrink the actual glasses in future generations and enlarge the pack attached to it. This way people are already used to something that’s attached an hast to be put into a pocket.

[@ActionHeinz]

As impressive as it is, I still have to ask myself whether this is worth almost 7 times the price of a Quest 3. I think it is not, especially because the Quest can be used on every (capeable) PC wirelessly, making it very versatile, more than a device that's tied to the Apple ecosystem. Sure, the Vision Pro is meant for productivity and work in the first place but I guess most people will buy it for entertainment purposes only. If the tech advances further and the prices comes down to consumer levels, this can be the breakthrough in VR/MR that we thought would happen decades ago with the first VR devices that came to market.

1:52 That's because guardian on Quest prevents you to bump into walls when playing VR games. You have no need to move in VR with Vision Pro and when you walk around with passthrough, you can see your room.

I’m sorry if anyone else asked this but do you feel wearing them for a long time is fatiging to the eyes since the screen is so close? 2: How do your hands look inside the goggles? Do they actually have that “cut out” look when then pass by screens you have open in the goggles?

I think websites need to evolve and not necessarily the precision of the eye tracking that needs to improve. Current UX is designed with traditional peripherals. Websites need to become full room experiences. 3d buttons and dials that you can interact with in AR to help navigate to different pages is just something that comes to mind.

The only thing I'm liking here that I don't have with the Quest 3 is the hand occlusion. It's really sharp. Meta is workin on it but I don't know that it'll ever be as crisp as this on the Quest 3. I'm hoping the Quest pro 2 will come soon and be perfect for me. Maybe around that $1500 price point of the first Quest pro.

Too bad we can’t see what you see in 3D because that’s what wow me at the first place. People still need to try this in person because no amount of video reviews can show you that experience.

[@manp1039]

I am hoping that Apple sorts out a way to share a stereographic screen of what the wearer sees. Stereographic pictures and video capture as well as screen capture will be valuable and specific to Vision Pro value added over 2D pictures and videos taken by regular cameras. And with a VR headset, a person can view stereographic content stereographically. This will then allow the creation of more stereographic videos(BTW, stereographic videos already exist on KZbin. and you should be able to view them with Vision pro. You can view them in a browser on Quest 2 and 3) .. and stereographic pictures for Instagram, etc. And we may start seeing webpages that are designed to be viewed and interacted with stereographically

[@joelface]

@@dimes305 I mean, the cost includes the battery, it's just worn off the head to reduce weight. Personally I like it because it opens up a lot of possibilities... you can own multiple batteries to avoid having to charge mid flight, for example. You can also easily buy a new battery in a several years when the battery stops holding a charge well. Obviously that comes at the cost of a wire, but the wire is still connected to your body, so you aren't tethered to the wall or any substantial device. I see more positives than negatives, and imagine as headsets get lighter and lighter, this will be the best option for some time, as it allows you to pack way more power into the headset. In this case, closer to a powerful laptop instead of a cellphone.

For example, to reduce the price, they could have eliminated the frontal screen, it is fancy, but not necessary (in the future, with high probability, they will take it away). When the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch were released, they had reasonable prices that people could afford. This device is too expensive.

Wait, the most curious thing to me is EyeSight (is it what it's called?) tbh... that's because I thought EyeSight was just showing their eyes on the outside screen but actually it does have the depth...? how does it even work! It seems like it just recognizes the face of the person in front of you and then adjusts the graphics of your eyes to make it look like it's your actual eyes (giving the depth) looking through the headset but it's not??

[@Raveman540]

From my understanding, Eyesight is driven by the outside display and cameras. So, the cameras are aware of people looking from different angles and directions (which is important for perspective). With that, it uses the avatar to represent your eyes on the front screen. The screen itself is a very special screen, called a curved lenticular OLED display. The curved bit just means it’s curved. OLED is a display tech that allows for perfect blacks and is the same (basic principle) as the micro OLED panels inside the unit. A lenticular display is one that can…control how light from the display travels, specifically the direction. This is the kind of technology that the Nintendo 3DS used for glasses free 3D. It was a bit janky because you had to perfectly align your face with the device, but the New Nintendo 3DS largely fixed that by adding cameras that could track your face in a cone area and adjust the behavior of the display, which made the 3D effect more consistent and reliable. It’s worth noting that this 3D effect, in my experience, largely felt like looking into the screen, like it had depth passed its surface, more than a movie theater “jumping out in front of you” kind of thing. As for 3D, clearly the tech is there, though I’d not heard much of that, more that it could show multiple people different perspectives of your face based on their orientation relative to you. Regardless, the tech is really cool.

I would like to know that too. I think what you are asking is... do the eyes and faces you see on the outside look stereographic or do they look like a flat screen? From what I could tell from various sources it could be either way. And Apple has been keeping that detail kind of vague. But we will know more on Feb 2nt when the general public starts having the chance to demo use them

Omg is it not just a display but special display something similar to what 3DS has!? I need to check that out in person sooner!! I think even putting a oled screen on the outside is already crazy idea but they have done something more!? It’s crazy how much Apple put the effort to keep the connection with the people outside of the headset 👀

@@Kuni02120 It is very cool, but unfortunately it seems like it isn't bright enough. Hopefully that's fixable in a firmware update.

The verge's critique was better than cnet's interpretation.

Brigid Carey in videos, plus with Scott Stein is always a win

I recently purchased a 360° camera; I would love to watch my videos in this thing.

Now I wanna see durability test . I used to have quest 2 and quest 3 now even index and if I bashed my head against wall or even table nothing never broke . Plate on front is made from glass . Really wanna see how durable this headset is if your sibling or wife manage to drop it on the floor … anything else is just iPhone vr strapped to your face

This was miles more fun than The Verge!!!! Their review was so sobering.
