For me, the Vision Pro is well worth it even if only for using virtual display with my MacBook pro for work sprints while camping with family. No way I'm dragging a monitor along and sooo much better than the tiny MacBook display.

Thanks for actually taking the time to try and use the Vision Pro for productivity. Seems like every other review online is someone just trying to love it or hate it based on whether or not they're an Apple/VR fan. I'm not buying a $3500 device, I just want to know what it's like to do work in VR!

Yes, seems like every review I see is someone who bought it and after four days makes a “in-depth” review. Honestly, since this review, I’ve upgraded to the visionOS Beta 1.2 and it’s gotten a lot better with the eye tracking and selecting small items.

What about the quest 2/3 or the maybe upcoming Quest 3S? Like they have all of the pro and non of the cons mentioned in this video... The main difference is they do way more stuff even on Mac/iphone/ipad but don't have sony micro OLED displays or the stainless steel construction ofr the polish... then again I never had the can't navigate briowser thing etheir by poking or pinching... Oh and the quest 2 costs $200 and is mainly VR not AR/MR and the quest 3 is $500 and is basically a better less fancy/highend AVP.

Yes. Here's why: - I can imagine air traffic controllers and the military will find the Apple Vision Pro useful to show many screens simultaneously that are 150-400 inches each...that's a lot of information. - Current F16 figher helmets are $400k each with just a HUD, whereas the AVP could be incorporated into a helmet for far less than $400k. - Infantry soldiers wearing a helmet with the AVP. - AVP's passthrough is 120 degrees which allow real world interaction with the firearm, target, throwing/catching. - I want to get the Apple Vision Pro, it's not that expensive compared to a great home theater, and people don't realize that it's got eye tracking (no mouse cursor), an 8k screen, many many 300 in screens, 3D camera, spatial audio speakers, creates an Imax or the biggest commercial theater screen size even when you're sitting in a tight coach airline seat. - the eye tracking (replaced a cursor) us a game changer. - way easier to develop than Facebook Quest. - AVP is not constrained to a box game model like the Quest, instead the AVP world model is infinite. - air traffic controllers can see the perspective of a commercial plane pilot landing. - The AVP's many many virtual 150in-300in screens can replace a commercial airline cockpit's many physical screens, and that physical space can hold more important physical equipments.

Until the AVP gives you the same field of view as your normal eyesight or even someone with glasses, these use cases aren't going to happen, maybe in several generations. There are glimpses of the future but the unit is actually quite clunky, heavy and awkward if you haven't worn one. Keep in mind too that the military, aircraft control and other government institutions often use proprietary hardware and software for both security and very specific needs. Off-the shelf products that run a mass-consumer-focused OS aren't the right fit outside of perhaps training with certain apps.

VP with the connect version (mirror) does not work great, at all. As a matter of fact, it was unusable on my macbook pro m3max until I went in and changed settings (It was plugged in). I went to Redditt to find solutions: turn battery to high performance, and drop resolution to 1080. If you do not do this, the mouse had MAJOR lag and was unusable and did dc a few times. I still love the VP, native apps are ok, but for me, its for multimedia, not productivity. Maybe microlearning.

I use a Magic Keyboard and Trackpad (unified with a 3D printed “tray” from an Etsy seller). So I switch between the trackpad/keyboard for fine detail control, and use eye tracking and pinch for broader things like moving windows, etc.

That tray is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

On the downloading a file thing, I found that though it seems like nothing is happening, there is a thin progress bar somewhere on the browser page and when that finishes your file is ready in downloads. I then move it to a folder in my files folder if i plan to keep it. On a broader point, I don’t even attempt to use VP for things my MACs does well with a keyboard or mouse. VP is guaranteed to lose in that measure. You have to find a use case for which VP boosts your productivity. I recently did my taxes on my VP. I had all my forms and info in my files folder as PDFs and then each open in its own window on VP. With TT on my MBP, i opened it on VP as a huge window whose size and distance was such that i could read the text better than on the MBP with 16-inch. I used the MBPs keyboard and mouse to navigate. All input of info was read from a window on AVP and typed into TT on my MBP, but into a huge window. And the those PDF files on AVP were sized and positioned to make reading easy. On the whole, this was better than doing it all from the laptop as I could see all windows with nothing hidden off screen. Another application is the help session I am doing soon. I will host over Zoom. I share my iPad screen with the class and work out an engineering exam during session. Where the AVP comes in is that i have the solution to the exam open as a PDF in a window on AVP. This way, as I work the exam i have all the numbers right in front of me in a large window so I don’t have to spend time doing messy calculations over, which is error prone and slow. Since i already did the solutions on my own calculator ahead of time I am confident about those numbers. This makes the session so much better. This proves to be better than having the solution printed on paper or open in another window on my PC. And, I can size and position the window as I need to see those pesky details best!! It may be hard to appreciate that without doing it yourself. Now, these are what I’m finding in my daily work. Both are things I do at home, though. I don’t take my AVP to work with me and have no plans to do so. I can do almost all of my work from home. I hope I didn’t leave too many typos in this. i peaked it all out with one finger on my phone. I don’t plan to replaces things my computers do well with AVP, but i seek to enhance what I do already with AVP, where it makes sense. Virtual meetings with personas is very near. From my time in InSpaze and Facetime, this will definitely enhance group meetings. Price is still a barrier, as I don’t see buying grad students and collaborators an AVP so we can meeting in a VR /AR space, but that is coming.

Thanks for the comment! Yea, it's always interesting finding out how other people use their Vision Pros. I could easily have made this video an hour with all the variables involved. Also, yea a combo of Mac Virtual Display and Vision Pro Window is always great!

Thanks for the review. New subscriber. I use my Vision Pro for work and watching video, etc. I think your first two cons may be related to your lenses or eye tracking. I start most work sessions by opening a random document and testing the tracking. If it’s off at all I reset the lenses. That usually does it but if not I redo the eye tracking. After that I have no issues selecting individual words anywhere in a document. Still minor issues with certain small boxes on websites, but not a lot. Sounds like a lot of work, but it’s about a minute and I’m sure I’m always putting it on a little different.

Great video. I think working in that form factor, in 3D space is worth it. The ability to move, shape and organize all of the apps available from the Mac and iPad’s mind blowing. It’s something people have wanted from the iPad for years. I don’t get your difficulty navigating the windows. The variety of inputs are outstanding. With the AVP you can use a keyboard, trackpad, touch, voice and the rumor of pencil support, I would be flying through task once I figured out a system. I think about the new ways coming to experience retailers redesigning the shopping experience or the tours from our National Parks or Hollywood making horror movies that places you in the movie and I’m jealous. Once Apple can get the price down to affordable, I’m all in!

I’m using the Quest 3 & Immersed to work in a multi-desktop environment with my MacBook Pro. It works surprisingly well, at ~15% of the price of the Apple Vision Pro. And I can take it with me when traveling. That being said, if Apple or Immersed get multiple virtual macOS desktops working on the Apple Vision Pro, I’ll probably buy one.

Your thorough analysis of the Apple Vision Pro’s productivity capabilities and eye-tracking functionality truly clarifies what users can expect. This deep dive into Vision Pro’s features makes me reflect on my recent exploration of the Gucci Spatial app. The experience was absolutely phenomenal and provided a starkly different immersion compared to Apple’s Immersive Video on Apple TV+.

Yeah, the Gucci app was awesome!
