APPLE VISION PRO REVIEW - After The Hype - My 6 Months Conclusion - Top Or Flop?

[@mixedrealityTV]

So here it is, my most comprehensive review ever! What are your thoughts about the AVP? Are you gonna get it? Do you have one? Or are you gonna sit this one out? Let us know!

[@PatriceBoire]

@@mixedrealityTV i have one and i love it so much. It is my fourth VR headset. AVP is thé Best. And so far.

[@juliansawyer9845]

I had one it's too heavy I returned it

[@bobwitmer2492]

Excellent review, I just got mine on Friday and I agree with almost everything. The text clarity is outstanding. I have both a Quest 2 and 3 which I had been using everyday day for 3-4 hours. I’ve tried to use them for productivity tasks but couldn’t, this device I can. I tried to use the Quest 3 for watch videos while eating lunch or doing dishes and I couldn’t. The pass through video warping made me nauseous and the hand tracking kept fast forwarding the video and moving the windows around. The AVP was usable for this, it had the occasional miss click but for an early OS they’re generations ahead, it was usable. I tried to use the Q3 for watching movies but the avatar arms flying around and randomly extending out 20ft made it unusable. The AVP is a joy in comparison. When Apple reduces price and increases comfort in future products, I think they’ll dominate the Spatial computing market. Today it’s not for most people but for me personally it’s worth it. People hating on it should keep an open mind and book a demonstration. My biggest complaint is I can’t use it while drinking hot coffee.

[@carlosdominguez3108]

You don't notice glare?

[@bobwitmer2492]

@@carlosdominguez3108 I do notice glare under certain conditions but not enough to bother me. The glare is worse with prescription lenses but again not too bad.

[@ShaunaMorgan]

The Vision Pro is great, and clarity is quite superior to the Quest 3, but I couldn’t justify the purchase for what it offers. I do have a suggestion for the Quest 3 regarding the hand tracking glitching. Turn off auto hand tracking and select hand tracking when double tapping the controller together. That fixed that glitching for me.

[@Greego]

Bob, you have to use one of those coffee sippy cups to drink your coffee while using the Vision Pro. It works well for me.

⁠it's reasonable, it's no we're near the terrible Big Screen beyond. This headset is really good.

[@ritapanzacchi9721]

I'm italian and I bought it 2 months ago in the States..I had several VR headset in the past ( Lenovo, Samsung, Hp, Pimax 4k , Vive and Quest )..I love movies and TV series on big screen at the best quality possible and AVP made the miracle for me! There is still room for major improvements but now I can have my screen at any size I want and at any angle I want with a superb picture quality...I know it's a very high price but it's worth for me..

[@mixedrealityTV]

Same here! Thanks for watching my video! :)

[@leanmeandean]

Seems like much of the apple hate is from the VR crowd who can’t play their video games on it. AvP is on the cutting edge of tech. Please make even more videos on it. I’m looking to see productivity use cases.

[@Cakebattered]

AVP users are part of the "VR Crowd" as AVP is just a VR headset.

[@gcaws]

Data privacy is a huge issue that you need to address, Sebastian. Meta collects very personal data about your physiology from the Quest3 and uses it with its partners to monetize. Apple keeps your data private. (The terms and conditions of either are clear) It’s the reason I don’t use Facebook nor Instagram. WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted although their CEO quit a few years back after Meta’s CEO, his boss, reneged on a foundational promise to keep it anonymous. Once again, nice as the Quest3 is, Meta is taking your data for other commercial uses out of your control - Apple does not.

[@mixedrealityTV]

You are soooo right!

[@knowledgeis5855]

Great Review. Ive been following VR since a demo in 2012 of Oculus. When i tried a demo now its available in the UK i was literally almost crying with joy. The clarity is 😢. What i have been dreaming of all these years the experience was way way mich better than i thought it would be. Then i went back to watchin House Of Dragons in my Quest 3 😮. Sigh. If this were a pc vr unit and not apple i would have purchased on the spot. Future is soooo bright im so excited.

[@T00tmacher]

What about Netflix in 4k, which is sadly missing on the Quest3?

[@pclil359]

Yes with supercut app

[@basilandrigsby]

After trying it. I was extremely impressed. Pass through video was not good though. I wondered if poor pass through was deliberate, so perceived quality of everything else shot up.

[@ildefonso2468]

Will definitely get one after 6 to 10 years of release. Once most issues have been ironed out. If it survives that long.

[@darcsentor]

How’s does reading text in the AVP compare to a screen? Is it HD or retina quality? While my iPad is super sharp my Quest 3 is a bit fuzzy for text, how does the AVP compare? Would love to use them for a multi monitor developer setup when travelling. Great video by the way, really like all the detail. Now they have finally landed in the UK I will get a demo.

[@mixedrealityTV]

@@darcsentor AVP is noch better than the Quest 3. Retina level.

[@darcsentor]

@@mixedrealityTV thanks!! :)

[@darcsentor]

@@mixedrealityTV just saw the features for the v2.0 of vision os and they have a ultra wide virtual Mac screen that looks prefect. Should solve all my developer remote working issues. Took my quest 3 on holiday recently, mainly to watch Netflix, KZbin and a bit of remote working which while great, the visual quality is lacking and it’s going to ages before the quest catch’s up in screen tech. Rewatching your video has convinced me it’s time to visit the Mac store. This is the most excited I have been in VR tech in over 20 years, since then mind blowing at the time Amiga VR from Virtuality. Hopefully the app ecosystem continues to grow quickly!

[@pclil359]

It is “retina-ISH” not really retina. A real screen is still sharper. but its good enough, like a nice 1440 display with no SDE

[@jpgmx84]

Great review, very complete, the narrative was clear and the visuals were very descriptive. But man! How many ads can you fit into one video?? There were a ton and sadly they got in the way of me enjoying this video.

[@mixedrealityTV]

Oh no, really? KZbin places them automatically.

[@pclil359]

Buy premium or wait - people need to get paid

[@Paulie8K]

Great review. This is obviously a premium device but cost way too much for the average consumer. I'm happy with my Quest 3. VR also moves super quickly so I personally would not spend over $1K USD as even 12 months of progress can result in significant jumps in hardware.

[@jamesbond339]

I've seen a number of AVP for productivity videos and all gloss over the ipad apps as they aren't virtual or spatial. The result is "there are no apps for AVP" being the judgement. Then they laud Quest, which has no apps for productivity (all of the apps are mobile browser windows) but has way more virtual experiences because it started off as a virtual platform. This has made it hard to see if the AVP could actually replace a large multi montior / ipad setup. Thank you for showing this off and helping some of us better understand what's available.

[@mixedrealityTV]

You are welcome! I am glad I could really bring you value with my video here!

[@urbanvr]

You talked about personas... But you didn't mention the fact that they can go spatial in facetime calls. Which is the number one, most impressive feature of the AVP. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Tradelikeace]

People can afford it if they really want to depends what they do with there money I love mine don’t regret it not one bit

[@alex_of_the_Mi_ag_gi]

A tv in 1955 (when they first went to the mainstream market) was 3000 in today’s money. It is not implausible 5 years time most people will not watch TV much and will be using the AV 2 or 3 - it is clear to me that this is a re-definition of what home entertainment should be. It is really hard to watch a ‘normal’ TV or even a premium TV and if the AVP is available and I am alone i will prefer it over any other tv/home cinema. They need to figure out a way to easily allow you to watch a movie with your friends tho - but this is not difficult to achieve with software updates.

[@YGOrica]

We will get there in version 10

[@hughmac7423]

Great video, but it looks like a ridiculous headset. The rhythm game in your intro looks very slow and a bit silly. It that is an example of the Apple Vision games, then I'm feeling disappointed for the price. Also, why won't they admit that it is a VR headset? Also, what is the IPD range?

[@EhCloserLook]

I can’t wait until they shrink this puppy down and reduce the price! Excited to get into spatial computing when that happens!

I have watched many reviews and i have found some points you missed a bit: - Device is 3500, but you forgot if you want more storage, you pay big for it. $4000 device if you want nice big storage, makes it even more expensive for Europe... Yikes. - Device is also very fragile. People forgot the battery at cable, still in their pockets, run away and pulled headset. Fell down and repair of 3500 headset is extremely expensive. It's because front is literally glued. Quest 3 may look cheaper but it will survive some drops (Quest 2 drop test explains it too) so why make so fragile device? The front can also even scratched if not well cared and stored with protection cover. - In productivity, the problem you cannot work for hours with it. It's heavy front, so many people will get tired at neck after some hours. Some people even said work in normal way with monitors is much faster and relaxing. No pain, you can look around and 2 monitors is also cheaper than 3500 headset. If you want program a lot code, headset is not great. You want type faster and not with virtual one. In short it's more meant to wear it short to check some production results. - Many Apple MacBooks cannot send 2 screens to headset. (might changed in future) so it's weird problem compared to Quest 3 headset with VD who can do 3 screens now. - Without controllers, it's clear it's not made for gaming. Even with PCVR, it may have great visuals, it's still not great due bad comfort side. And Quest 3 got already a lot 3rd party solutions for lower price, where Apple will only have exclusive expensive solutions (and bit limited too). Not great. - And 4K screen? Well, this will not more unique in the future, newer gen headsets will have it for much lower price if you ONLY want sharper screens and not the overall use of headset. - And if you are not Apple fanboy / big Apple user (with many Apple devices around) this headset is not good for you. - At last, device can get hot if used at almost full power... In short, it's more clear this headset is more business designed headset. For gaming (with PCVR) it's not good idea if you look more around. Still heavier and not good in comfort. And also fragile thing. If you move fast around and headset goes off, you better hope it will not damaged at front. It's just too expensive for gaming.

1:00 I don't agree even at $500 to $1000 not everyone wants this type of technology. watching movies on a $80 projector is a better experience than wearing any vr headset for 90 min as the price of the AVP drops, more people will buy if. YES , but it will never out sell the Quest 2/3 , lcd monitors., laptops or tablets There are SO many AR.VR/XR,MR devices on the market now, but i they are owned by a small sub set of people who buy multiple devices .. a shift in computing would mean this would be" the cell phone of the future" and the only computing device you would need to own

The worst part about this Headset: It doesn't have Android. An opened Operating system which can give you much more possibilities with this amazing device. Instead just a closed IOS that I hate so much about Apple. This is the reason why I've never been their customer since my whole life. It's not just their ridiculous high prices for their products. So if the company doesn't want my money they can keep it that way and spend it to their competitors. Thank you for the video! :)

[@icecreammango4330]

Which possibilities would it have if it was on Android? So you have never been an Apple customer because their OS is closed, so that means you also never used Windows because it is closed? What possibilities do Android devices have that Apple devices don't have and the vast majority of people actually want?
