First impressions: Yes, Apple Vision Pro works and yes, it’s good
First impressions: Yes, Apple Vision Pro works and yes, it’s good
After a roughly 30 minute demo that ran through the major features that are yet ready to test I came away convinced that Apple has delivered nothing less than a genuine leapfrog in capability and execution of XR — or mixed reality with its new Apple Vision Pro. To be super clear, I’m not saying […]
It's something I'd love to try out for a week, but I simply cannot afford it.
Wonder what Apple's return policy is like! :D
That’s not a bad idea. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure they have a 30 day no-questions-asked return policy 🤔
It's good. It's not in any universe $3000 good. From what I saw in their demo it's almost identical to their competitors who have AR headsets for $700.
That being said being able to work inside a 360° bubble of screens requires complete comfort and no eye strain.
This also ain't that.
It's obviously a step towards a laser based HUD ala the peacekeepers comms collar in Farscape. I hope I live to see them, in 30 years.
i reckon the m2 + 2 x 4.5k high refresh rate “micro oled” (i know of oled and micro led, but i don’t think i’ve heard of micro oled?) + large array of sensors (2x main cameras + 2x face ID array + retina scanner) really jack up the price. as far as i’ve seen from some impressions, the eye tracking is also supposed to be the best out there, although i don’t know what widespread points of comparison there are save for PSVR2
It's still in pre-release uber hype phase. You're not gonna hear anything other than every part of it's the best out there.

Depends on what you want to do with it, but it uses the same type of processor as their current laptops, so I’d say about as long as a laptop. For people who want to use it for pretty much anything other than gaming, I don’t think it’s going to suddenly be obsolete in a year or three.
I bought an M2 MacBook Pro earlier this year, my first Mac in a long time. It’s insanely fast. Like, faster than it has any business being with that amount of battery life. Running Photoshop, it doesn’t feel like a laptop at all. It’s pretty nuts. So I expect this thing is going to be pretty fast as well. I definitely will not be getting one, though, as I don’t have $3,500 lying around for toys like that, but I would definitely love to try one out at some point.
