What's up everyone?! I hope this fair analysis of the Apple Vision Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about? Would love to know what you think. Is the Apple Vision Pro something you would buy? And why or why not. If you’re currently using something else, please share your experience with me.  I am grateful in advance 🙏

[@superzero4250]

Very reasonable assessment and conclusions, though i would add the people tend to forget voice input as an option. You could dictate instead of type. I have had to a few times, and it seems to work. I have yet to pair keyboards, trackpads, or trackballs directly to VP, through Mac Virtual Display they seem to work well, even when tracking outside of the MVD screen and into native VP screens. However, I did notice that my trackball paired with the MBP did not work outside of the MVD screen. Also, I hated 3D content and found it very cumbersome, however, now with  Vision Pro, I can’t get enough of it… Absolutely love every second, of every minute, of every hour i have spent with VP. I just hope and pray there are ZERO deleterious physical effects from long term use of this device… 🤔

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks so much for watching and for contributing from your personal experience with the AVP. Appreciate you being part of the community!

[@marcusb1758]

Pretty accurate. It’s the most amazing tech I’ve ever owned but no where near worth 4K. Field of vision and lens light ghosting were disappointing for me.

[@davidwong7283]

Many are returning it back to Apple . It’s just plain bad for your eye health . And for this price you still need to give and take on the user experience… and be compared to quest 3 that is the cost of apple care on the Vision Pro ??? Come on man ? It’s logic .

[@superzero4250]

@@davidwong7283 Logic would tell you that double the RAM cost more. That twice as many cameras with three times the resolution cost more too. What about a desktop processor instead of an anemic Android smartphone one, including a dedicated processor for latency. Does it cost more to have three times the display resolution for each Optical Micro OLED lens vs LCD. An outward display cost more than a plastic cover. Metal and glass tends to cost more than plastic in general. So does magnetic attachments. Also EYE Tracking technology definitely cost more than none at all… If you were to shatter the display shield on the VP, the repair alone would cost more than the Meta Quest 3. Just compare that to any smartphones screen which is significantly smaller surface area… Some people’s logic tells them the Earth is flat… 🤔

Very fair analysis. I am a 63 year old disabled, widower with plenty of free time on my hands. I love my Vision Pro and use it every day. I totally agree with your comment about lack of content, both movies and games but we are in early stages and in time I am confident developers will see the future and start developing for the Vision Pro.

You are using the battery wrong. It’s supposed to be plugged in most of the time while you sit. But then gives you the freedom to walk off into another room and grab a drink and eat dinner and then come back and plug back in. Think of it like an EV, you get over the range anxiety and the omg, it would take 2hrs to fill up anxiety, because you realize that 90% of the time, you just plug it in at night and it’s done and you never have to think about it again.

[@Krristopher]

I have really been wondering how it compares to an actually setup with quality monitors. Is it as comfortable with the same pixel density as say one of those new gen 3 QD-OLED 240hz 4k monitors? I can get two of those for less than an apple headset.

Motion sickness: I am a pilot who has had instrument training. When you start this training you must learn to ignore the signals from your semicircular canals in your ears. You must learn to believe what the instruments are telling you and not how you feel. Having had many hours of this type of training and flying, I had no motion sickness with the Vision Pro. I suggest that if you simply use the Vision Pro long enough you will get over the motion sickness just as I did when I learned to fly IFR. Practice...Practice...Practice.

I went to Demo it, and I thought it was really cool. I asked the Apple associate if I could connect it to my Windows computer and I wasn't surprised when the associate said no, it's only compatible with a MacBook. I have no interest in getting a Macbook, just to get all functionality, I would have to add the cost of buying one to an already obsorbiant amount of money for just the headset. I love tech and I'm fine with investing in bleeding edge technology, but that price, just cuts too deep.

M3 Max MacBook Pro is $3499. Apple sells them everyday and yet I don’t hear the outrage of how expensive that price point is. And that’s the base price for the M3 max. Not even “maxed” out.

6:08. No, it does not have eight times the capacity. The AVP's battery is 35.9Wh, and that UGreen pack has 90Wh, that means the UGreen only supplies 2.5x the capacity. Amp-hours means nothing without a voltage, the AVP pack is 13v, the UGreen pack is only 4.5v. To compare the two you have to compare watt-hours. GREAT pack though, I own a number of these, and I highly recommend it.

[@kevinbailey8827]

When my phone rings, I get notifications on my iPhone, my Mac, my iPad(s), and my Apple Watch. I can answer the call from any of these devices, or I can send it to voicemail. Why can't I do these things on the Vision Pro? Answering or rejecting a call on Vision Pro seems like the easiest thing, since they've done on all these other Apple devices.

[@WeberBaker]

Thank you for talking about the motion sickness. I haven’t heard anybody else mention it. I am terrible. First person shooter syndrome. I can’t even use a Wii. And my wife’s Meta headset is just out of the question for me.

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad it was helpful. When I’m still there are zero issues. As I mentioned - car is a no no. Walking around is “ok”. Excited to try it on a plane.

[@tbray]

In the end, VR/AR environments are still a very solitary experience when you aren't chatting in an online VR space with people around the world. AT home, with friends or family, it's very isolating. Someone needs to create a way for one user to share AR elements with other people wearing a headset (again, locally, in the same room, not online), so that if they want to watch a movie together, they can, or if someone wants to watch their flatmate (for instance) play an AR table top game, they can. If it doesn't already exist, I think that would be a great feature to work on.

I am curious why the battery is so big and heavy for not much battery life. They really should let you “pin” windows to your view, with a little warning if it detects that you’re walking around outside or something. There are so many use cases for this For productivity, the biggest thing for me is it has no USB, meaning a bunch of professional use cases are not possible. As a music producer, not being able plug in an audio interface, or a latency-free microphone, just makes the whole thing useless.

[@dtz1000]

The displays are outputting 5000 nits which is many times brighter than what any smartphone can do, but only about 200 nits gets to your eyes because of the optics and other reasons. Also the processor is not as efficient as the one in the Quest 3 while being a lot more powerful. For these reasons, it uses up a lot of power.

My point is ADULTS recognize when something is too expensive NOW, but it might be worth while later. Those are the people asking you questions about the AVP. Immature people get angry when they can’t afford something and spend energy trying to tear it down and ruin the experience for everyone.

[@Aceslayera]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you are a little off with the windows not following you. If you throw the AVP into travel mode, it adjust the logic to anchor things based on distance to you. You mentioned this for a plane or car, but this does work while walking around as well. Basically, if you put it in travel mode, due to the way it inherently works, you can walk around and use it.

[@TechGearTalk]

That is true if you're in a car, a train or a plane (as I mentioned) - but if you're walking around they will not come with you even in travel mode. Instead - you will get a warning saying "please remain stationary when using travel mode". Hope that helps.

[@SuperPaiku]

I think a Tech KZbin should know how to compare the capacity of 2 Batteries. The Ugreen power bank has not 8 times the capacity. You can't compare just the mAh of the batteries. The Ugreen power bank has 90Wh and the Vision Pro 35.9Wh. That's about 2.5 times the capacity not 8.

[@saulgoodman2018]

The battery should have been USB-C. For their size battery, it is way to much.

[@TechGearTalk]

Or just a sub-c charging cable. Of course there is a benefit is the cable being attached (so it won’t get disconnected). But if something happens to the cable - the whole thing is toast.

[@superzero4250]

The battery charges via USB-C, however a proprietary connection is not so outlandish either. It also provides a built in security feature for the platform not only to prevent physical disconnection, but digital intrusion as well… Remember, it’s a computer with a Mixed Reality Display, essentially a wearable iPad. You don’t want it to be MageSafe or a simple USB-C connection, where everything could just abruptly stop with an immediate lack of power… 🤔

[@DragonLN]

Ugg. No your sponsors battery isn't 8x more than the vision pros. All these ignorant reviewers looking at the mAh rating on the battery completely ignore the voltage rating. This is a 12v battery bank. mAh comparisons are only valid battery bank comparisons if the voltage is the same, because battery capacity is REALLY measured in Wh. You can't just stick the cable into some other battery as it's not a USB connection putting out some PD voltage, it's a proprietary battery system where the 12v is sent straight to the AVP without conversion to some other voltage. This is how batteries work internally with devices. Having the battery bank convert voltage there only to convert it again in the AVP would add another layer of loss to the mix and reduce efficiency and effective battery life further. Apple rates it at a 44Wh battery which is slightly less than half of that chargers ~100Wh capacity, which would charge the AVP battery less than twice due to conversion and charging losses.

[@TechGearTalk]

Apple’s magic is they perfected the fundamentals and the rest they wait for the market feedback.

And it's $4000+ - and a single user device (attached to the users account, and customized for their head and eyes). If it were $999 I think they would sell a lot of these to the curious. But I don't think they want a lot of these out in the wild. Reviewers say it's pretty delicate, and Apple doesn't want to be in the repair business. So they want this to go to the few while they figure out if there is actually any use case for such a device.

I’m confused why people are complaining about the lack of apps when Apple literally said literally said they need developers to get their hands on the headsets first to develop said apps. What I heard when Apple announced the headset was if you’re not a developer and you buy this you may not be the brightest bulb in the box, so how was it a short coming . It is literally an experimental headset. If you don’t have the money to know that this thing is not going to do everything you want it to do you probably shouldn’t buy it.

[@dtz1000]

Every other VR headset has thousands of apps and games available from the start because they are Steam VR compatible. But Apple decided not to make it Steam VR compatible. So there will probably never be Google Earth VR on the AVP which is an app that is mind blowing on the Quest headsets. AVP owners are really missing out there because of Apple greed.

Fed in a tape with Data, and got the answers on a printout. That was the best we got.

Surgeons won't be using this headset cuz the depth accuracy is way off

@@shuttzi9878 For training, I have apps now that can take a body apart in layers, or look at individual organs, my grandson who is 10, uses such an app at school, and at home on his iPad. In engineering we use Logic diagrams liked to schedules with dates, what is excellent we can review that logic in 3d! It is an extremely fast way to see how things affect each other, add time scale and you have a powerful tool. As an Engineering Analyst we can put things that caused accidents together, and analyze why something failed, the NTSB do something similar. I’ve always said, in a plane crash the first thing they want is the Black Box, because it always survives. I’ve told Boeing why don’t you put wings on a Black Box, it will always survive nobody dies.

This is snob trash. It's just a toy, there is no practical use for this device...

This is a device for adventurous forward thinking individuals. Just how Smartphones revolutionize the digital space which is so ubiquitous now, so too will this. As a person who usually waits for the four iteration of new technology, I knew the implications when they announce it a year ago, and began saving on day one… Ninety-Five percent of what one can accomplish with an iPad you can with the  Vision Pro, they basically use the same apps. Practically is a matter of preference. Some people have an accessory attached to their smartphones for easier use while others do not. Some find Bluetooth earbuds practical while others find them annoying. Just because someone lacks VISION, does not mean everyone else does too… 🤔

@superzero4250 Other than FaceTime, you can't do anything with anyone else with that headset. Headsets that are such cheaper can do that. It's incomplete and not ready for the market.
