I Tried Apple’s Vision Pro Headset: A Hands-on Reaction | WSJ



Apple’s Vision Pro headset combines virtual reality and augmented reality for the price of $3,500. The mixed-reality headset is the tech company’s first major new product in a decade and does not include controllers as your eyes are the cursor and your fingers are the mouse buttons.

WSJ’s Joanna Stern shares her impressions after using Apple’s newest product to make 3-D FaceTime calls, watch videos and more.

  1. …mass market product development 101…
    Identify a distinct functional ‘job/work’’ problem or ‘aspiration/pleasure’ challenge that at minimum 49% of the population within a market has. Then produce a solution that is, or is more effective or cheaper, or better in some significantly logical way that 50% or more users in a market will pay, as much as, or more of what value is offered to solve. Only then can you cross the market’s S-Curve to achieve mass market acceptance and adoption.

    Though having produced a technological marvel… the Tim Cook led ’Mighty Apple’ clearly fails this most basic product development tenant with Vision Pro. Vision Peo DOES NOT SOLVE a clear, commonly held JOB PROBLEM and it costs a fortune to NOT SOLVE MUCH!

    Vision Pro WILL FAIL – GUARANTEED!
    (from a fanboy who loves Apple and hates Apple's failures)

  2. In 2018, "Magic Leap One is a personal spatial computer that allows digital content to move beyond the confines of the 2D screens and computers of today. It is a biomimetic system that, through a combination of Digital Lightfields, sensing, and compute – acts as a co-processor to the already present, and incredibly powerful human brain. We focused on making a proprietary Digital Lightfield signal to work with – not against – the human eye-brain system. We use the visual cortex as our display. The Lightwear and Lightpack’s sensing and compute provide the platform of the future for developing environment understanding, context awareness and human-centered AI." By: Rony Abovitz.

  3. The Samsung Gear VR from EIGHT years ago had 3D 360 degree movies, video, games. 3D 360 degree multi-camera live concerts and sports events like the NBA and Soccer.
    I have watches dozens of movies in 3D 360 degree with friends that sat aside me in a virtual theater. We could even talk to each other. Watching this video is exactly like using the Gear VR. Exactly the same experience.
    And now 8 years later Apple comes up with this????????
    Why is Apple always yeeeeeears behind companies like Samsung and pretend they are innovative.

    PEOPLE DON'T WANT GLASSES OR A HEADSET. That was de cause of death of 3D tv.

  4. She did a good job in her presentation . Apple should of allowed her to film the experiance . I dont understand this thinking . I for one wouldnt have been turned off if I saw something negative . I get skeptical when you are promoting something without actually allowing us to see it .
    The price tag is not an automatic turnoff to me . This does remind when I go into an electronics store and see an 8k tv . Great demo video but little compatable real world video to take full advantage .
    Another concern I have is the effect on your vision . I am not sure I am comfortable with that .
    It not on my Christmas list of things I want , but I can certainly understand people who are excited about it .

  5. The video game Heavy Rain provided an example of how this would work, but the headset was basically a pair of sunglasses. If the headset can become that, then most people with an Apple ecosystem will have the Vision Pro for sure, and many, many others.

  6. Hey ik this is random but I’m visually impaired and can’t see much. I’ve tried other devices and they all suck and are not worth the price. Was wondering how you think these will work with people that are visually impaired.

  7. lol Apple, I am sorry to the people, the size will have to remain bulky only because they wish to give you the widest view possible but no do not hide it lol lets grow up here Apple.

  8. PLEASE DESIGNERS LISTEN— If you want production lets implement Minecraft I know it sounds dumb lol all does at first but I promise you the children would love to build a Minecraft house in there back yard I mean sheesh I would to and yes the code exists you better build it before I do. The race is on, ROCKSTAR you need these implementations and you know it…

  9. Other than a little bit steep in price for myself and also no release date for the UK, the Vision Pro seems to lack the ability to make apps for itself, within the headset. If they brought XCode, Reality Kit and got Unity to develop a version of the software for the headset, I would have reason to buy. I need to be able to use the device to work on 3D apps where the headset can really benefit developers. It's got an M2. It could run Unity if they enabled the headset to run mac apps.
