I love my first gen Apple Vision Pro. I find that most of the criticism isn’t addressed at the product and technology, but at the price and Apple’s strategy.

Price will go down in five years, once the tech mature la. For now this is a bit like how the Oculus DK1 was. An early device to explore what the overall vision is about, and figure out the apps.



I use AVP every day for work. I spend 8+ hours a day wearing the thing. It's amazing the screen real estate you get when you share your Mac screen. It's terrible that it's only one screen, but with good enough window (pun intended) management app, you can tile the windows/app inside this giant curved floating screen. That works for me because I always preferred using a single screen.


Any tips to share from your experience using it for so long every day?


- It might take time for your eyes to adjust. - No matter how good the screen resolution is, you'll see pixelated reality rendered. Luckily Mac extended screen resolution is quite impressive and better than the live video of the room around you. - Keep your eyes healthy, try to remember to take off the device often and go check your eye sight, especially after first few months. - It might not work for you like it works for me (YMMV).


What do you use it for?

How often do you use it?


Use was never claimed, only love for.


3d movies, Mac display, spacial photos and videos


i want to capture 3d video of loved ones before they’re gone


I thought you can take spacial photos/videos on iPhone and view it on the Vision Pro later?

I don't have either so I don't know how well iPhone vs. natively taken photos/videos compare.


you can but apparently the avp can capture higher fidelity imagery than iphone .


If Apple sold an Ouija board you could capture it after they're gone too.


if the avp is too expensive imagine apple ouija! the connection fees alone would be like making an international phone call in the eighties :)


You want to wear goggles on your face during those moments?


i imagine it would be like the family photo moment when there us some level of staging for posterity.
