I’ve tried Apple’s Vision Pro and it’s incredible (but I also have doubts)

Is This The Metaverse?

Hours after the Vision Pro was announced, I had the chance to put it on and experience some of its capabilities and possibilities. Long story short, it’s genuinely incredible and has the potential to be something truly transformative. Before I was allowed to put on the Vision Pro, I had to scan my ears to set up spatial audio, and my spectacles were measured so that they could find the right optical inserts for me. The latter is crucial because you don’t wear your glasses when you put on the Vision Pro.

The Vision Pro, as you might have probably seen from the photos and video here, is a hyper-futuristiclooking device. It’s also surprisingly compact. I don’t think it’s much larger than a typical scuba or ski goggles. Once you put it on, you adjust the straps to ensure a good fit. This is crucial because minor imperfections to the fit can lead to wonky images on the screen. It’s said to weigh less than 500g, which is roughly the weight of many high-end planar headphones. It certainly felt substantial – enough to let you know that it’s there, but not so much as to cause discomfort.

One perhaps incongruous feature of the Vision Pro is its battery pack. Apple didn’t want all the weight to be concentrated in the headset and so opted to have a separate battery pack. To be fair, the battery pack is small – not much larger than an iPhone 14 Pro Max – but then it also doesn’t offer much battery life - just two hours. A USB-C port works as a passthrough port for wired use.

I was then guided through a series of demos to showcase the Vision Pro’s outstanding visual quality, its ease of use, and its various use cases.
