The Vision Pro feels lighter than I expected and the materials feel good to touch. The solo knit feels premium and the dual strap feels like the nylon apple watch bands. The front glass of the vision pro is super reflective and the light seal and light seal cushion both attach to the Vision Pro magnetically. When you pick up the headset, I’d pick it up by the strap, or the metal body, not by the light seal or cushion because it will detach and potentially damage your vision pro. So just keep that in mind. Overall, the entire product feels premium.
Okay, so when you first put it on, you do this exercise where it wants to scan your hands and have you stare at different dots on the screen to calibrate the vision Pro to you. Afterwards you setup a persona. And I took like 3-4 tries before I got a persona that I was satisfied with. It does look and act like me.
Okay, once setup was complete, I thought it was crazy how the UI was, all the VisionOS elements are super sharp, and you can really see the depth of objects, and their proximity to you. It’s cliche to say this, but this is something you have to see to believe. The video passthrough though, the “reality” you see in the vision pro, are obviously cameras. It looks like if you strapped an iphone camera directly to your face. The video passthrough is so soft and noisy in low light, you can tell it’s a video feed. But during the day, or in a brightly lit apple store, it looks closer to reality but the cameras still can’t replicate all the light and colors your eyes see and the dynamic range is obviously a camera feed.
The Vision Pro can play 3D movies with some services like Disney+ and Apple TV supporting it, and watching 3D movies actually feels as immersive as what you used to see in theaters. Way better than the 3d implementations that was on 3D TVs back in the day. But I also enjoyed watching regular 2-d content on it. You can resize the window to be as big or as small as you want and drag the window wherever you go. It’s really cool. And you can drag 2 different windows by pinching different ones with each hand. Apple has built in immersive mode, which changes your entire view into an amazing backdrop of nature including some national parks and the moon. And visually, it feels like you’re in that environment.
You can pair the Vision Pro with your mac. And when you do that, the screen on the mac goes blank but it’s visible in your Vision Pro. But you’re only able to mirror one MacBook display with no multi-display support. So you can’t run a bunch of desktop apps at once with “virtual monitors” but you can use Vision OS apps alongside your mirrored mac display. The mirrored display feels like it was always in vision pro the entire time. Seamless. You can continue to type with the Mac keyboard, or through Vision Pro. The apps do stay where they are. So if you leave the room, they stay in the room you were in. When you stand up, the objects in front of you turn transparent, so you can easily see the items around you. But currently, as is, the app ecosystem of the Vision pro isn’t extremely robust with productivity Apps. It has microsoft office products, but no google docs, sheets, slides, or even YouTube. This is definitely something I’ll have to check on again in the near future.
On day 1, not gonna lie, I struggled. I was so used to doing things a certain way with how I interact with my computer, my phone, or a tablet. That learning to use a computer in a 3d space was completely different. Typing is annoying on the vision Pro. You have 4 options to type. Use voice to text. Use your eyes to select each letter, or move the keyboard UI close enough to you that you can “press” the key. But it’s strange, because you don’t feel a physical touch. And lastly, you can just connect a bluetooth keyboard, which to me is the ideal way of typing on the Vision Pro. But nothing beats that day 1 adjustment period because you have to take in a whole different way of using tech.
So at this point it’s conclusion time. What do I think of the Vision Pro after 48 hours? Well, it’s a unique experience that when you try for the first time, it has a crazy wow factor to it. And as you continue to use it, you get frustrated because it’s a new method of input, but once it clicks, it clicks. As an average everyday consumer, should you get this version of it? Probably not at this price point but if you’re near an Apple store and want to see something really cool. But I’ll save my full opinions on a long term review. Like maybe in a month or so.
