Apple Vision Pro first impressions 🥽

MKBHD
+ Eye tracking is sick. Magical. Super impressive
+ Gestures are intuitive, responsive
+ The passthrough is the best I’ve ever seen in a headset - stereo, sharp, real time
+ Display is very sharp. Felt like 120Hz

- It’s heavy
- No haptics
- 2 hours of battery life
- It’s very expensive

Scott Stein (CNET)
+ The passthrough video quality is really, really good
+ Interface was surprisingly fluid
+ Gestures are easy and intuitive
+ All looked really crisp, resolution and brightness of the display was surprising
+ Cinema demo is shocking. It felt like a movie experience
+ The gap between my own everyday vision and Apple's passthrough cameras was closer than expected

Nilay Patel (The Verge)
+ Incredibly impressive displays and video passthrough
+ Happily using phone to take notes while wearing the Vision Pro
+ Highest-resolution VR display I have ever seen
+ The video passthrough appeared with zero latency and was sharp, crisp, and clear
+ eye tracking was pretty solid

- No killer app

Brian Tong
+ Eye tracking, gestures, UI and UX is really nice and smooth
+ 3D recorded video from the headset looked incredible
+ Clarity and fidelity is unlike anything I’ve seen before
+ FaceTime with 3D Spatial Persona looks really good
+ Movie watching you feel like in a movie theater, clean and immersive
+ Apple Immersive Video (180-degree 3D 8K recordings with Spatial Audio) NBA, soccer, concert, documentary. It makes you feel something

- A little heavy on face. Not light headset. You feel the weight.

Yeah, we are in the future 🫢

I've put together every frame showing the Apple Vision Pro in first person from the WWDC 2023 keynote. Enjoy! ☺️✌️

I've been thinking about getting some kind of iMac stand for a long time, to get the display at the right eye level. And today in IKEA I stumbled upon a pretty nice stand and decided to give it a try. It's unusual for me, but ok, display is now at the right height 👌
