Working from Apple Vision Pro?

31 Comments

1. At the moment, most people aren’t ready to use this product to its full potential. But just like remote work and gig work became easier to achieve and more popular over time, so too may this style of work over the next 20 years.

2. Can this be used as a screen for a windows PC?

3. Would be nice to be able to use this as big screens for when you want to work remotely / in the passenger seat. Has anyone tried it? Does it make you nauseous?

4. I'd argue that any productivity gains the AVP offers won't be from dropping multiple windows all over the dang place. More windows = more distraction and context switching. This is the myth of multitasking.

5. You made a magnification at 6:37 to show the writings. Did you do this with vision pro? Is there such a feature? Can it bring the world you perceive closer?

6. i agree with what someone else said: the question isn’t whether you can do work in it. the question is by how much does it improve (or even hurt) your actual “productivity”. now that’s really hard to measure, so it’s more of a feeling than anything else. the handful of times i’ve done work in my quest 3, i ABSOLUTELY ~felt~ more productive. i don’t do it more often because i don’t want to have to carry around another thing.

7. It is not designed to be a single device actually.

8. every app for ipad is available for vision pro. thats tens of thousands. they include apps for productivity. (you were incorrect about shortage of apps) can you do a part 2 and revisit to show us. thanks!

9. They WANT to justify a $4,000 expense, and productivity is the most viable way to achieve that.

10. Dude stop shaking your head so much

11. Since when the future happens on day one?

12. Playing pokemon go would be fun in it

13. If that jittery motion is the realtime visual experience, I'd get a headache in a matter of minutes…

14. Try wearing a ballistic helmet with NVG’s for 12 hours at a time.

15. Agree, not really usefull for productivity now (maybe while travelling)

16. Works several hours, then couple more days, ok, but everyday in mask…no one will doing this…

17. How does the keyboard and trackpad work with it? I don’t do a lot of computer work, but would like to use for other basic things. I haven’t seen one video using the wireless keyboard and trackpad.

18. This review sounds great as a way to discourage people from trying this product!! Great job. Saved me $5,000. Reminds me of that Steve Balmer interview about the iPhone being a joke. Wait.. I guess he was wrong , maybe you will be too…

19. I use mind node on iPad and Mac. The view you showed looked like a cartoon version. The items were way too big. I typically have tens of items.

20. I may pick one up in 10 years.

21. Seems like the major benefit/advantage to traditional setups is portability, but it’s seems like it’s still more productive to use a Mac and iPad solution than this.

22. People that want this to be the future are lying to themselves. Why would normal people want one of these one? Two only a matter of time before these kinds of devices are littered with ads

23. "There's almost nothing available for real work apps" – except for the vast library of compatible iPad apps. If you can get productive work done on an iPad, think of the Vision Pro as an arbitrary number of arbitrarily-sized iPads. And of course, the native software situation will improve rapidly.

24. Productivity? Absolutely not. Watching movies, and YouTube, maybe. this will be a big fail for that, and a big waste of money to boot.

25. I can see many people getting insane eye issues over the next few years in my opinion.

26. I also think that in the current state is hard to convince regular people to buy it for productivity. Have you compared using the Vision Pro against something like the xreal glasses? I do think the future of work is heading to the Idea of portable and immersive screens. Great content btw!

27. Blurry text from the Mac connection? Mine looks very clear. Did you adjust the screen resolution in the Mac settings?

28. Too expensive for productivity or leisure.

29. 8:30 damn right!!! I dont get this "multi window setup" narrative. It seems to me like a cool tech solution searching for a problem. From a productivity point of view, how is this better than simply plugging your macbook to a 49" ultra wide monitor with all your work windows open simultaneously?

30. The single biggest hurdle that Apple needs to convince me of is simple; can I be more productive than I already am by more than 10% to make the AVP worth my while.

31. Hmmm, not the future for me.
