I Tried Apple Vision Pro: 5 Things I didn't Expect

- I have been using the Apple Vision Pro all day and I found four things that were better than I expected and one that disappointed me.
This is Apple's new VR headset, called the Apple Vision Pro.
Additional review notes:
So I’ve been using the Apple Vision Pro for about half a day now and I found four incredible uses cases that I did not expect until I tried it on, one use case that was better than I expected but still not quite perfect, and a few use cases that I thought would be better and I will never use
Now I have some interesting and unique videos planned for this in the coming week, so please subscribe if you haven’t already
Starting off with setup
Super easy to follow along. There is a tutorial (explain what dials and buttons do
Then you set up your persona:
Capturing persona is cool. The headset has loud external speakers and uses the front display to tell you what to do
The persona is uncanny and looks a bit off but tracks my face well and is pretty close
Then there is opticID, sort of like FaceID but with your eyes. Mine did not work when I tried to set it up
Then you are brough to your home screen. It is familiar, kind of like an apple watch or iphone
To control, you just look and pinch. It is so intuitive
Eye tracking is great. Definitely the easiest way to do this
You can also tap on numberoad that pops up. Not just punching
Keyboard on screen is awesome
Minor distortion on the top
So use case #1 that I did not expect to be as good as it is: reliving memories in 3D
Of course, you can view photos and videos and they are incredible
Panoramas surround you and look fantastic
Stereo video from iphone looks pretty good - has dissolved edges
THEN… 3d photos and videos captured with the Vision Pro are on the next level. It really feels like you are there
Birhday cake - I flinched because it felt like they were blowing on me
Use case #2
Watching sporting events from a field level - I saw some demo footage of this at a baseball game, a soccer game, an ice hockey game, and some others and this was unreal. Definitely the absolute best way to watch any sporting event. The 3D aspect is unreal
Use case #3
Watching concerts in 3d up front
The surround sound is incredible
Good sound quality
You can pair with the latest airpods pro for lossless audio
Use case #4 that I think will be a massive game changer - 3D movies and interactive media
I saw this on appleTV
Super immersive
Use case #5 that yielded mixed results - laptop usage
Eye fatigue is still very real
Minor distortion on the top
What didn’t go well
Motion sickness from moving shots
The headset is light-ish and comfortable, but after an hour, it starts to feel heavy and a bit less comfortable
There is a travel mode to stabilize visuela s for like a plane of something
Surroundings can be blocked but then if it moves it becomes visible
Good spatial understanding but not perfect. Floor shadows, butterfly
Laptop extension
Only one screen at a time
Can read text well
It is nice that I can actually see my keyboard well, unlike Meta Quest headsets
If you have a small macbook and are on a plane, this could be good
Center is crystal clear and great resolution. Peripherals are not so good, so you need to turn your head
I think I could actually work on this but I would need to change my style of window usage
One last note - when I take it off, I feel like my eyes don’t work for like 15 minutes. I feel like I am cross eyed and struggling to see stuff. Definitely some eye fatigue
Big uses:
Sports
Movies
Concerts
3d photos and video memories
Maybe laptop extension

1:39 you CAN unplug the cable from the battery by pushing a sim card ejector tool in the tiny hole on the battery. A “broader” lightening cable will then pop out.
Great down to earth review of this product. All others i ve watched only talked about the positives. Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it! I can't wait to continue testing
No they havent.
The panoramas are incredible. I’ve taken them since 2014 and I feel like I’ve never seen them before until I saw them on the AVP.
Well done Mike. Another great review. If I ever invent something cool, I'll have you review it. 🙂
I’m surprised you can’t have multiple virtual screens. Being able to have a huge amount virtual desktop space available when you want it, but that disappears when not in use would be an enticing feature.
Sure you can! For an extra $2,000. 😶
I’m sure you will be able to do it in the future
They need to leave some really wanted features for future iterations
Wait you can do that right
What do you mean by multiple virtual screens? Like having two connected monitors?
01:43 Apple Vision Pro has unexpected use cases
03:26 Apple Vision Pro setup process and features
05:09 Apple Vision Pro has a feature called Optic ID for eye recognition.
06:52 Apple Vision Pro provides immersive 3D photos and videos.
08:35 Apple Vision Pro has various use cases for different activities and events.
10:18 Apple Vision Pro provides a highly immersive 3D experience
12:01 Apple Vision Pro provides crystal clear display but causes eye fatigue
13:42 Apple Vision Pro is comfortable with some discomfort and eye fatigue.
Me with my Co-Pilot: "yeah don't say."
I would love to know about long term effects of wearing VR headsets on eye sight.
I can't imagine how it would affect eye sight considering that the whole "screens close to your eyes ruin your vision" was debunked as a myth. It may increase eye-strain though.
Probably not much different than a phone
Is fine. Is not as worse as staring at an actual physical tv close
How is the Field of View? The recorded version shows full FOV but I assume it isn't like that in reality. Is the FOV a deal breaker and does it take away from the immersiveness?
FOV is less than quest 3. quest 3 has 110. this seems to be less than 100.
Nice video, how is the field of view compared to normal vision and compared to Quest vr?
I don’t particularly want to be an early adaptor of the first gen, at least not for $4,000, but I’m really excited for the future of this when they’ve worked some of the kinks out 🙏 I’ve been excited about AR since Magic Leap.
I watched the Eras Tour film on AVP paired with APP and holy shit it was better than watching it at AMC (minus the lack of a subwoofer haha)
Nice! Thanks for the video!
Thanks!
I definitely won’t be an early adopter but I’m very excited for the future of this technology. I have been dismissive of vr for years because I could never get over the weird feeling but I may have to force myself over that hurdle.
I totally agree once they are smaller like sunglasses way more people will be using products like this
I want one, Apple is so innovative 🤩
are you kidding hahaha
Ya, go outside in public and you will look stupid…😂
Imagine mmo game with swords and spears with 3 party make you move while in the same place ,omg waiting for developers to show us the real future so i can buy it
Hi Mike, I’m a manager in a technological company developing custom software. One question, for me productivity isn’t use photo, messages, … for me is use Microsoft Office for Mac, Teams, Visual Studio Code and a Web Node Server. I use it on my MacBook Pro, I can use it in Apple Vision Pro? Thanks!!!! 🙏🏽
Can you give me a job plz
Hey! I'm a software consultant and I use tons of applications in the MacBook Pro. I received the Vision Pro yesterday, and anything you use on the MacBook Pro can be used in the Vision Pro as long as you have your MacBook near by. Simply look at your MacBook while wearing the Vision Pro and it will port your entire MacBook Pro screen onto your vision pro for better viewing. Additionally, some apps (like the Microsoft office suite such as Word, Teams, Excel, Ppt. etc.) are already built into the Vision Pro.
So those games which you mentioned. How do we watch it. From apple tv?
I think The battery can be disconnected just pop that hole near the battery with a sim card ejection tool and it will pop right out. 😊
Technology looks incredible and possibilities are endless. Maybe pilots can do their training hours with these glasses., you could download endless scenarios. Personally, I hope they make them that resemble regular reading or sunglasses. I am impressed.
It's a good, good thing that you shared the things that you didn't expect in using the Apple Vision Pro!
mike - Gotta be here for future!
6:00 I remember people online being dismissive and making fun of the 3D video segment during Vision Pro's announcement and those people just have no idea how many of these things will get bought for just that one feature by people who can't physically be with their family for those moments that they miss out on. By older folks whose family is across country or across the world who may not be able to travel easily. People well off, where $5,000 is literally nothing to them. That experience will be priceless to them.
People complain way too much about the price, and forget there are a lot of people out there where money isn't an issue, and time and experience is.
Gotta say i love this video
The first company to put 3d cameras on the sidelines of sports games - to allow you to watch sports courtside -- will be a billionaire. AR is 100%, absolutely the future of technology and has so many practical use cases for everything in life.
Man's already thinking about wearing it at family parties lol. Just use ur phone to record. Don't need to come in like a cyborg.
A few question.
If you've the MacBook screen extended in Visiion Pro and open Safari, can you drag that page into a separate Vision Pro window?
You opened a Safari window while sitting on the couch. You go to the kitchen, and wanted to check a recipe in Safari. What will happen? Where'll the window open?
You can drag it assuming you are using your trackpad or a wireless mouse. If you go to the kitchen and open a new safari window, it will open a new window in your kitchen and leave the other windows open back at your couch.
I had that question as well at Apple Store they said you can shoot 3d immersive video only with iPhone 15 pro or the headset so if you were at the superbowl or Disney you can’t wear a headset obviously it would be that phone
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥⭐🌟💯💎
I don't want things to change this much. I love my phone and watch and the simple things.
This is an amazing piece of technology. Nothing it’s perfect from the beginning. But oh boy this is an amazing product . Expensive but Gwao . Just to see the future here now is priceless
Being able to not have to define a play space, not have to deal with controllers that run out of battery, and to view 3D movies at any angle are huge!
7:59 Like a quest 3 on a PC with a any VR headset?
Love this ur so great
Wow thanks so much for watching!! I appreciate you
@@MikeOBrienMedia appreciate you right back and inspired by u!:)
Hey bro you can record the same format of video on your iPhone 15 pro max and then view it on Vision Pro
Or u can use galaxy fold
Wait, are you related to Nate with the same last name? Tricked me into thinking of him when I saw this thumbnail
Thanks for the video, but I do agree that the shaking around all the time it's kind of a no no really. I really don't think this would be great for travelling, combined with shaking and movement in travelling.
Very nice video! Surprised Apple hasn't incorporated image stabilization (for movies) like Sony does in their cameras.
how are people recording their vision screens?
Screen recording feature, Located in control center of vision pro.
Does anyone know if the usb pass through on the battery works to plug in an external SSD to transfer files?
do the 3d stuff requires two eyes to work? I mean like with imax glasses?
Yes.
I just ordered mine from WISH. I can’t wait
you got a lot of small details/info wrong and missed quite a few options... for example: you can type by speaking when looking at the mic icon, you can use your eyes to select indiv keys on virtual keyboard. Also you can resize VR Mac screen to be very big (much bigger than an iMac)
I feel like AR has made huge progress but I have a feeling with time, the bulkiness will lessen so they can be used out and about. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make them with prescriptions and more like normal eyeglasses. Then, these will be flying off the shelves.
Mike is moving on up, to the Eastside
rather than poking the keyboard, can u lay the keyboard down on a desk and type normally?
No. If you plan to type a lot on it, sync it with your macbook or buy a magic keyboard (those things last like 30 days on one charge).
FYI you can record spatial videos on the new iphones, so you don't need the Vision Pro to record them
My phone does just fine thank you very much lol
6:05 ayoooooo😂😅
What?
Bro I thought i was the only one who heard it
😂 I laughing so hard ik I wasn't the only one
It's like JT's Ayo Technology video came to fruition! Now, imagine if gave us the power to move (tangible) objects and the ability to evoke the sense of touch/feeling (tangible and tactile)- like JT's video! 🤯
The motion sickness thing in vr is a real thing, I was so excited for my psvr2 but am unfortunately going to have to sell it because every time I wear it for more than 10 minutes I want to 🤮
You do know you can make the Mack book screen 55 inches right?
Datz impossible! 😳
Does one have to own a IPhone to get the most out of this headset? I own Android devices.
The probability of getting your arse beat and robbed increases dramatically when you wear these in public.
AVP is secured with Optic ID - the device is locked to the authorised user just like with Face ID. The headset would just be a useless brick to a thief - none of the features would work. PLUS the device is tracked via the Apple Find My service which means it can be remotely deactivated and located via GPS.
@@johnsmith-vy7vo you’re underestimating the resolve of thieves and the iPhone is still the most stolen phone in the entire world. Walking around with a $4,000+ headset is asking for trouble.
@@johnsmith-vy7vo never underestimate the resolve of a thief
It really surprised me that many reviewers seemed never know that with 360 video cameras (like GoPro Hero Max) and much cheaper VR headsets (Quest 2 or 3), you can not only “live in memory”, but in much more immersive 360 photos and videos!
I have been using this for more than 2 years and recorded my families every trip: from skiing down the double black trail (360 video perfectly recreated that fear of steepness) to swimming in the tropical pool (yes, 360 videos can be shot underwater); from driving along Ice Field Highway, to riding horses along a rural path; from going on a rollercoaster with kids, to be at scene of a historical event. Everything is 360, totally immersive, NOT just a 3D framed image in front of you, which certainly make yourself feel outside that memory.
So unfortunately your number one “only Vision Pro can do” stuff has already been done by many VR users over years, at much lower cost, and with much, much more flexibility.
(BTW, do you know that with tens of thousands of exiting Google Street View photos and user provided 3D photos on Google Maps, any VR users, except for Vision Pro users maybe, can already enjoy 360 images around most of the world cities?)
Tomorrow I will record some more 360 skiing videos. Good luck trying the same with new $4000+ Apple Vision Pro, unless you want some really unique and expensive bad memory.
Definitely can't film black diamond runs with this headset haha
But I would argue this is very different. I also use 360 cams to film my electric scooter videos, wakeboarding, and snowboarding too. The Apple Vision Pro is different and it's hard to show that in a 2D video.
It’s not the same thing. Spacial videos are stereoscopic. Giving a true sense of depth. The GoPro can take 360 video, but it’s flat.
@@DstruX
So Apple x * y * z
While go x × y
? 🤔
@@alphaomega1351 pretty much. It works more like the human eye. Using different camera offsets to create depth. And I’m curious if Apple is also using the LiDAR Scanner to create a depth map
@@DstruX A flat 360 photo or video is much more immersive than a 3D photo or movie, unless the later has at least 180 degree viewing angle.
Flat 360 image is just like you close one eye and watch your surroundings. Even without depth, you can still feel many spatial things such as steepness of slope, or the fear of height (yes, very scary!). If in 360 video someone is trying to kiss you, your body will even feel her warm breath (because your body thought she’s so close and reacted).
3D is only like you watch 3D movies. How can you say it’s more immersive than 360? Or it can recreate life memories as real as like 360 images?
6:28 What about the 3DS and new 3DS that did that same thing too?
Yea but the cameras on that sucked and I feel like this one will be more optimized And actually fully put you back into the moment. Imagine kids 20 years from now being shown their family events in first person and viewing your family history like your actually there
I am going to question the lossless audio bit
you can record spatial 3d vids on your iphone how do you not know that
I mentioned that in the video
Apple takes us into a new era
By acting stupid in public…😂😂😂😂
I’ll wait for apple glass
The battery cable comes out. Just use a sim ejector tool
Pls review the Redmi buds 5
My man all your points on what the vision pro does best the Quest 3 or even the 3DS does too.
I got mine yesterday. I owned the Quest 2 and Quest 3 too. I can confidently say the Vision Pro is MILES better than both of the Quests in hand tracking. With its precise eye tracking too, I love how you can control it really easily without needing controllers. I am sure you have tried the hand tracking on the Quest 3, to say its lack luster is an understatement. Additionally the resolution is much better to the eye (though still not like real life of course). The Quests are obviously much better for people wanting to play VR games (and also don't want to drop 3.5k-minimum on a set) and I will agree that the Vision Pro is not 7x better than the Quest 3 (i.e. not the best bang for your buck) but there is definitely some value to consumers who can afford it. Vision Pro is marketed as a work tool, and as someone who flies all the time as a software consultant, this has a lot of value to me. I can essentially have as many screens as I want up in front of me and as large as I want, anywhere - anytime. Of-course the Quest 3 can pull up screens too, but it doesn't have the computing power to physically run large applications without syncing it to a PC, something not very useful on the plane.
@@Turtle-.- i am still trying to understand productivity part like who likes to code with something heavy on their face while moving head and eyes constantly. you will be more productive when this thing is not on your face. Just like major headsets, it is going to collect dust after wow factor is done. Also, VR biggest use cases are still entertainment and gaming.
@@alexs1118 Oh I definitely agree that most people buy VRs for entertainment and gaming, and I would agree that for people only interested in that, the Vision Pro is a terrible investment as it stands currently. However, for someone who wants to integrate mixed reality into their workflow, it CAN be a good investment if the price is within their budget. This minority of people are what I believe Vision Pro is marketed towards. I also agree that working at my desk with my standalone desktop is a lot better for productivity, but it definitely is aided by the fact I have 5 monitors for at-home use. I would say I spend 60-70% of my month travelling and at locations where bringing my desktop and all my monitors around with me isn't possible. Vision Pro makes that possible for me. I used to bring a laptop with me on trips, but (assuming you code yourself) you can probably understand the pain of working on a laptop screen and flipping between windows non stop.
@@Turtle-.-Part of it is understood but the most used are also video games. Apart from that, everything that appeared in the video is done by quest 3.
@@zuleykatorres3890unlike Quest 3, Vision Pro is tied to you Apple ID. So like he said you can do everything you do on your Mac or iPad on Vision Pro
13:35 That's weird I never heard anyone get that from XR before.
You can record spatial video on your iPhone 15 pro
Interesting…you be able to capture everything within your pov. It’s cool but we will see.
What is the title and how long did you take to get to the point. Slightly frustrating
You can shoot spatial video using the iPhone 15 Pro, that way you don't have to wear the Vision Pro during special moments
And you can even watch them on a 300-500$ Quest Headset
I was expecting that watching sports would be like sitting in the stadium & not just watching a big floating screen with stats.
It will be a combination of that, google the F1 app for it. Also MLS soccer is going to be insane. I believe you will be able to pause and move around on field next year (not this year) and It will also have the live map that you can put on a surface.
Do a META Quest 3 comparison
impressive tech, although the price, usability, and the fact that apple made it is not too enticing
“did punxutawney phil see shadow”
well done apple 🍎
😂😂😂😂
They should have made glasses first… I don’t know why they did this
Yes, but I’m guessing they were thinking…the tech can blow people away and we need a lot of raw power to pull this off. So yea they could wait for glasses, but that could be decades off. The power you need to run this thing is going to be hard to pull off without a wire going to something else. I’m hoping somehow wifi or Bluetooth technology will get a lot better and somehow allow for all the computer specs to work through the air. Not sure if that’s possible. They probably wanted to give us the Apple smooth interface feeling, and was willing to do it before they could get the size or weight down. I just hope they keep improving this.
Obviously to be cool 😎
can't wear spectacles weighing 25gms for 10hours straight, 500gms for straight 3 hours, my eyeeesssssss
Tony Stark, ask J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just a Rather Very Intelligent System) to build the suit.
Can’t you just record 3d video with your iPhone? (At least with 15p it works I think)
Are we gonna ignore the fact that he is wearing a Shopify hoodie??
If I bought this, I’m only gonna be using it at home.
I would love to have this but i cant afford that price
Don’t, you will act like stupid outside the public.. 😂😂
I’m disappointed in the keyboard and not being able to connect a physical Apple Pencil to Goodnotes.
What is the quality difference between spatial video taken with AVP vs. iPhone 15 Pro/Max? Do you think spatial photos will come to a future generation of Pro iPhone?
I have tried both. The video shot by the AVP is much better for the 3D effect but iPhone 15 Pro shoots clearer videos with less 3D effect. I think it has to do with the 15s having better cameras but the two cameras responsible for shooting that 3D effect are too close together where as on the AVP it is more eye-width.
I swear you said the 1st 4 user experiences can't be done with other headsets......they can!!!??? 🤔
Not like this. I've tried tons of other headsets and it's never like this
@@MikeOBrienMedia you mentioned 4 being things that can't be done on any other headset 🤔 It's extremely misleading 😒
you can capture the memories on an iphone 15 in spatial video.
I'm a huge VR fan, and I I use my AR nreal glasses daily.
So, I bought the Vision Pro, and 24 hours later, I returned the Vision Pro. The resolution is great and the Vision OS is typically apple, nice to use.
But realistically this thing serves no real purpose, and doesn't really do anything better than anything else on the market.
For £3500?!?!?
The only people that will buy this are the legions of apple fan boys.
The Quest3 is cheaper, and quite frankly the better product, especially if you have a PC to wireless connect to, both for media and gaming.
The Vision Pro offers nothing
It’s brilliant, but too expensive for what it does right now.
Bro need to tell us wat we all really wanna know
Tried. Seems to be disabled. On the “sites” it says headset not detected
👍👍video, 1st gen Apple Vision pro is a public beta (cash to blow) & developer device, waiting to see where the technology takes us by 3rd-4th generation of Vision Pro, the narrow field of view size weight unpolished glitches & high cost make this a pass for majority of people
this is so cool but it’s basically just ur phone or laptop lol
I can barely read my phone on it. Pass through is just ok
Really? I can read my phone completely fine. Did you smudge the lens?
@@Turtle-.- I left a small fingerprint on one of the lenses setting up my persona, but I immediately used the new polishing cloth to clean it (which is very nice btw). But alot of people on Reddit will agree that they couldn’t read their phone with the AVR on to save their life
@@tylerrhodes9069 Hmm idk then. Maybe is a low-lighting thing? You know how bright stuff looks blurrier when the room you are in is darker? That is strange.
@@Turtle-.- for sure. I think it’s better for me when I switch to the thinner light seal cushion vs the thicker one. Like pass through and FOV is way better. I don’t have the ziess lenses so the thicker one probably isn’t good for not having those inserts.
@@tylerrhodes9069 True, never thought about that. What's your overall opinion on the AVP though?
Kurt Cobain in '93: "I think they’ll use sounds and tones for music and use it in their virtual reality machines. And just listen to it that way and get the same emotions from it. And then go to a party. There’ll be a virtual reality machine there with a whole bunch of headphones and if you wanna talk to people and listen to the virtual reality machine you can do that and go into the other bedroom and f**k and drink and… but actually I think virtual reality machines will get you high. Technology will be that good. And then there’ll be like virtual reality junkies lying there dead on their couch from OD’ing."

The Home Screen looks a lot like the P.S vitas Home Screen
MKBHD words are "interesting" "risky" and i feel this is device which is a massive work in progress. I have the quest 3 and most of the features described, minus the panorama, are already in the quest 3 evolving at each update. For a fraction of the cost, I enjoy the quest 3 and whatever new VR hardware gets released from meta will improve on it. It seems there are lots of unknowns on the VP and is dependent on updates that apple and its devs puts out. Most of the reviews of the VP are almost "um...yes good..but! so its no front runner in any means in revolutionizing anything that has not already been done . The cost that one has to put out for this device and its limited features that seem to be available in the Quest 3 itself, alongside the many accessories that come with it, will be the final say best left to consumers and their wallets.
Wow! 3500 retail price?! 😂
I will buy it when it is under 600 dollar and 10th gen. I will be skiing with it because it is blocking all light.
Just wait until it recognises someone who's wearing different brand as a threat. or if someone's not wearing any as a peasant. we're doomed.
Hey buddy, so you DON'T get LOSSLESS audio on AirPods
IKR, like is not lossless audio, is just Hifi audio these dumb apple fanboys
@@KaiJ778 On the AirPods Pro Gen 2, you get 20-bit 48kHz Lossless audio when connected to the Vision Pro. He is correct.
The only thing usefull i could see with this device is watching movies in 3D . Lets make an example with avatar . Since you can put a screen in front of you , i wonder if its possible to see particles coming out the screen 😂😂
