    I hope a big name director takes a chance on making a film designed for AVP. A full 180-degrees of 3D that puts you in the action would be amazing, especially if there's limited 6-DOF as well, meaning you can actually move around in the scene to a degree. This would definitely be easier in a PIXAR style animated film, since the assets are generally made in 3D as is. Obviously to move around in the scene it would have to render in real time, which does add a serious power requirement. But I am convinced it could be done! I know that the AVP will unlock a ton of new storytelling methods, and I can't wait to see how that develops and evolves over the next few years.

      @@beardfmTotally! The risk for them right now is just that the install base is too low to make such an investment profitable. However, Apple would be wise to partially or largely fund such an endeavor for a film also being made in 2D. I think that could be really, really cool and may fuel the deeper understanding of this medium's potential down the line... getting more and more people onboard.

    With a little more use, this reviewer will get it. Spatial Computing is for multi-tasking, multi-monitor users who don't like to be chained to their desk and office. Interacting with a device where you don't need a keyboard, mouse, touch pad, or multiple monitors will become second nature. Soon, you will have fewer and fewer need to use your laptop, iPads (mini, larger), or space taking monitors. I really love being able to go out of my office, where my family is, and sit in an easy chair while working!

    This is a well-balanced review, I'm kind of annoyed that the YT'bers talk about how this is a game-changer and it will change the world forever. I'm still waiting for the AVP to become something you can share with people around you, instead of yourself, like you correctly said, it's great to watch a movie in your headset but it's always better to watch the same movie on TV with family, friends etc, I'm curious what Apple has planned for that route.

    Yeah, I have always figured that this should be thought of as a display/monitor, it makes sense price wise if you compare it to an LG G3 or an Apple XDR Display...the fact that it is a macbook air or iPad Pro on top of that is a bonus, and then on top of that, you get cool VR stuff potentially.
    It definitely has trade offs, but if you compare it to a home theater (around $10k, most people spend $17k), it is an amazing deal, and I am sure its only going to get more capable over time.

    Hey there nice little video! 👍🏻 this is the first time that I seen somebody call out discovering a hidden 3-D stereoscopic camera in one of apples first party experiences for the AVP. Watching this on a phone I wasn’t able to make out exactly what it was, but does that lens possibly look like the special canon stereoscopic lens? Which if it does lead me to wonder, did Canon come out with that lens a few years back specifically based off of a request from Apple for a compact 3-D stereoscopic camp capture system? I’m just projecting and the canon lens was developed for a different Director a few years ago and just happens to be used by Apple to record some of these experiences. Thank dictation for any grammatical errors.

I'm using Discord, telegram, slack, all of them in vision pro, surrounding my macbook air display, on my bed, watching youtube and enjoying this thing so much.

      @@beardfm I have a Quest 3 and a Quest Pro. Went for a Vision Pro demo today and I was slightly skeptical. I have owned 80% of the consumer VR headsets that have hit the market since the Oculus Dev kit, so I have seen the tech develop. Every new device is hailed as "it" and then I try it and see the improvement, but am always a bit disappointed given the surrounding hype. I have to say that the fidelity of the Vision Pro took me completely by surprise. It is like nothing that I have experienced so far in VR. It made me feel like, "oh, this is what it looks like when this technology is truly ready for the general public versus enthusiasts like me. The Apple attendant started laughing because I just blurted out "This is ridiculous," in truly impressed astonishment while viewing the immersive videos. I didn't buy it, but I came close. I told her that I needed to step away, give myself some objective distance and then make a decision. That's why I am online now watching different video reviews.
      As a VR vet who has loved every bit of the journey since the OG Oculus Dev Kit, I have to say that from a visual fidelity perspective (UI, Immersive Videos, Text) the Vision Pro is on another level than anything else on the market right now. It 'feels' like experiencing VR content in HD vs SD.
      One note on the passthrough for anyone with an existing mixed reality headset - The Apple Store was very well lit and the passthrough was much better than my Vision Pro or Quest 3, but but not yet retina quality. There was also some motion blur when I moved my head. I experienced this when I first started the demo, and had that familiar feeling of "this is better than what has come before, but not yet WOWing me" that I tend to have with new VR hardware. By the time that I got to the immersive environments and the immersive videos, though, I was feeling real joy. I had the same experience with the Rhino, where I moved back, and that really got me, because I have long since moved past that kind of reaction in other VR experiences. I would say to anyone interested, even if you don't intend to drop the crazy amount of money this costs, it's worth doing a demo.

    Eye tracking is very good. If yours wasn’t, an adjustment was likely required.
    Also you don’t have to look at the delete key the whole time you delete. The virtual keyboard allows you to look at the text there, closer, even when deleting.
    Finally, you can use a keyboard and trackpad so, if you wanted a more traditional interface, you could have that.

    If Apple would write a check for ChatGPT and replace Siri with that.. you can talk and have conversations with the device at that point and typing wouldn't an issue. In the backspace scenario typing and editing becomes even better because instead of moving a mouse, placing a cursor and hitting delete and typing more letters to replace ... you just say, "replace the word green with blue." And viola the edit is complete. Granted this assumes you are the only person in a room ... but in home office situations I don't think that would be an issue.

I keep seeing people pecking away at that virtual keyboard and wonder… WHY? Why would I ever use that when I’m trying to be productive? I’d either use Siri or an external keyboard. Are there keyboard limitations you guys experienced but didn’t tell us about? I wouldn’t use Siri on a plane but you bet a portable keyboard/mouse combo.

    Prediction: a future iteration of the Vision will allow you to link two or more headsets and watch movies with friends. Not just watching the same film, but projecting each others Personas into your headset so you can look over and see them sitting next to you. Ideally, the headsets wouldn’t need to be in the same space. You could watch the same movie in the same virtual theater with four friends all in different parts of the world.
