The recent 2.2 update adds Mac Ultra Wide displays. It’s quite the game changer for productivity craving power users.

[Maximo_ari]

Bought one on release to study AR for my master’s program. Now, I mostly use it to watch movies. I love when the movie reflects off the water in Mount Hood.

[LBMust]

great that you like it, I love mine and use it all the time

[bobwitmer]

I love mine, I’d highly recommend the Annapro 2 pressure reducing headband. They’re not expensive but it makes it much more comfortable to wear. You can also use it without the light seal.

If you enjoy the immersive environments, switching to dark mode in settings also changes the environment. It looks fantastic in my opinion, give it a try.

[scottspiro]

I’m using it for deep work, especially with the ultra wide display support with the Mac. Also, working on a plane is awesome- and of course, watching 3D movies in immersive environments is a game changer).

[BendingPinkSteel]

I love how you tied the Apple Vision Pro to creating immersive deep work environments—it’s like you’re tricking your brain into thinking it’s writing on top of a mountain or chilling by a lake. Honestly, that sounds like a creativity cheat code.

[andreasschmidt]

Even after months of using it, it’s still feels magical every time I put it on! Someone who has not seen it, cannot judge! And even if you only did the demo at an Apple Store, you still cannot grasp its possibilities. Holding and manipulating VR objects and draw in your space and walk around it, is unbelievable! 3D movies and Apple Vision examples are just mindblowing! BTW: When using an Annapro head strap, remove the shield and the Vision Pro does not sit on your face but in front of it and your field of view extends massively - that is if you do not need full immersion mode.

have you experienced any headaches / eye strain after prolonged use? can eyeglass wearers use the vision pro too?

[ItsLachieHereTech]

Such a simple use case but so effective 😍

[jennifergala]

Its sn amazing device. Im waiting for the M5 version. The resolution is insane.

[VisionProforNerds]

Great video! reminded me of the excitement when I first got mine! I think you can see how this is a product you truly have to experience to get it.

[mixmix]

Great video, but I’m gonna hold off until the next gen. For now, I can actually get my deep thought and workflow done on my Oculus 3. Not too shabby, but definitely not the Vision Pro.

[MarcusWarcus]

Great video dude. I’m curious it’s been more than a month since you’ve made this. Are you still using it? I see a lot of people with their long-term reviews. Say that it was cool at first, but they stopped using it after a while so I’m curious what your take is

[Eddy-ovtx]

Buy a belkin top strap, it's a game changer for comofrt. much better than the dual loop band that it comes with. It sold at the apple store.

[AstroPinoy]

The FOV is crap with the cushion on but adding a a “CMA1” mod and cutting about 2” on each tip of that cushion will remove facial pressure plus FOV comparable to Meta quest 3. The CMA1 comfort mod not only improve your FOV by 10% it also more immersive. You as long as the bottom light seal barely touches you face (when cushion is cut) you will see why it make a difference.

[tranquilitybase]

Get one of the overhead straps and you’re good to go for hours. I’ve been using it about 70% of the time for design work (when I’m not on my phone). Definitely NOT a gimmick for those of us who have really dug in and pushed it to what it can really do.

[antoniojohnson]

Vision OS 2.2 in beta just released an update that allows you to basically have 2 5 k screens next to each other with zero latency and up to five screens in Apple tv app

[shivasthong]

I just bought mine simply to do creative writing, and watching my favorite inspirational movies and scenes.

[BlakeVanderWeide]

Looks like a great product! What’s your favorite environment to be in during deep work
