Apple Vision Pro Impressions!

I tried Apple's first ever spatial computing device, a $3500 VR headset. These are my honest thoughts.

Not gonna lie I'm getting the strongest "real life Black Mirror" vibes I've ever had from this and it feels absolutely surreal

[ErrikosAlexiou]

can't wait for them to pause ads when you close your eyes

The thing I do appreciate about the 2-way passthrough is that it’s a visual cue to tell the people around you if you can see them or not. That’s a thing I’ve wanted to have for AirPods Pro and Max; Some visual that tells people around me if I’m in Noise Cancellation mode or not

[BuDDa]

I must have lived under the rock because I just found your channel, subed immediately and got to say I love your chilled and very scientific approach. Also you ask the right questions in your reviews and are not biased at all. Love it man, keep up the great work!

This is a really great overview of Apple Vision Pro.

I've had the oculus for a while, it was revolutionary when I got it and I loved the idea of being able to have extra screens and a nice work environment. But quickly you realise your eyes get sweaty, hot and sore from using the device. The battery life isn't good. The device is heavy on your face. You look ridiculous and aren't going to wear it outside the house. I haven't used it in months. Will this device have the same pitfalls? Perhaps it will finally crack the VR market because of the loyalty of the fans, but the price point is so high, how many people can justify the price.

The part that is most appealing to me is that if you're on a flight or something, you can just block everyone out of your vision. That would be great for anyone who get uncomfortable around tons of people.

The immersive recordings are going to be a heartbreaking but at the same time beautiful re-experience of those past loved ones.

As a dad one of my regrets was always videoing the significant events of my kids instead of just watching them and being present so your comment on the ‘oddness’ of capturing events with the headset really hit home

[thanos]

It's the coolest thing ever how MKBHD ends up beating everyone getting this video out first, and he's just calmly speaking like he's in no rush at all. Great team over there.

[paulongo]

I love how you keep me engaged thru ur style of commentary like I feel you excitement and the way you speak feels like a normal convo that doesn’t tire my ears

[mxlly]

I think this is the first iteration of it, and it will start out as gimmicky for the select few who want to buy it and be like “hey, check this out!” Eventually, as they improve the tech (like they’ve done with iPods/iPhones) and people become more familiar with it and it shrinks in size/bulkiness, more people will use it as part of their daily routine. This improvement and innovation will probably happen much faster though since apple has the ability to hire and fund the best and brightest.

[KarlRock]

Great explanation. It’ll be really fun to try out and experience it that first time. Can’t imagine I’d buy one and use it a lot though, not yet anyway.

[texasbelliott]

"It's a rich person's toy, and a developer's muse." Very well stated.

[k.c.simonsen]

That 3D recording feature is wild, we're probably gonna see a lot of that in the future and it's gonna freak me out.

[IntensePeppers]

The fact it can copy whatever you're doing on your Mac (including complex tasks like video editing) and just transfer everything to the headset is probably the thing that feels most futuristic about this. It'd be so cool to move your work from screen to screen across devices like you see in Sci-fi shows

[psimac]

I'm really glad Apple gave you a demo because you're one of few reviewers who are qualified to grasp what this is and report on it accordingly. Thank you for the insight.

[chubbitychubbs]

Dude! Just wanted to say that I turn to you and "Jerry Rig Everything", for all tech related things. You're awesome bro 👊👊

[MotoVet]

I'm a 90's kid and I remember a teacher showing us that you could change the color of the screen on a Macintosh II that used a floppy disk by using hot keys and it absolutely blew our minds. Now we've got headsets that work by pinching the air. I keep forgetting that there's been 40 years of advancement.

I worked on the custom chip that handles the IR LED illuminators for eye-tracking. Of course, being an outside vendor, at the time we weren’t even allowed to know it was for eye-tracking! This was almost 2-years ago and it’s cool to see it come to fruition.
