Analysis of Apple Vision Pro (AVP) and Meta Quest Pro (MQP) Introduction: Lack of technical analysis and understanding of VR/AR issues in AVP reviews. Neglecting issues of variable focusing and Vengeance Accommodation Conflict (VAC). Meta to present a paper on VR headset with retinal resolution varifocal display. Apple and Meta's inability to solve inherent human visual system limitations. Advantages of AVP over MQP: MQP considered poorly executed and a bridge to nowhere. MQP's passthrough mode criticized for low resolution and distortion. AVP has higher-resolution cameras, more depth-sensing cameras/sensors, and improved processing for passthrough. AVP's Micro-OLED provides better black levels/contrast than MQP's LCD with mini-LED local dimming. AVP's micro-lens array enhances light collection efficiency. Price Perspective: Comments on AVP's price being too high lack historical perspective. Apple and Meta need to prove the viability of a highly useful MR passthrough headset. AVP's price is subject to reduction with increased volume. Resolution for "Business Applications": MQP has lower pixel density, resulting in less readable text and slower reading speed. AVP's higher pixel count provides around 40 pixels per degree (ppd) for improved text readability. Long-term use of virtual desktops lacks evidence of being good for humans. Passthrough Capabilities: MQP's passthrough mode criticized for its poor execution. AVP's passthrough, although not perfect, is significantly better than MQP's. The accuracy of AVP's 3D views of the real world is unknown. AVP Micro-OLED vs. MQP's LCD with Mini-LED Local Dimming: AVP's Micro-OLED offers better black levels and contrast. MQP's local dimming feature has limitations and issues. Apple's Micro-OLED CMOS backplane is assembled by Sony, known for Micro-OLED expertise. Pancake (MQP) versus Aspherical Refractive Optics (AVP): AVP incorporates custom catadioptric lenses for sharpness and clarity. Apple's acquisition of Limbak, an optics design company, suggests the use of pancake or similar optics. MQP uses 3-element aspherical optics. Pancake optics are less efficient with Micro-OLED displays, requiring higher OLED power output. Conclusion: AVP reviews lack technical analysis and overlook critical issues. AVP offers advantages over MQP in passthrough, resolution, and display technology. The price of AVP needs to be viewed in the context of technological advancement. AVP's Micro-OLED and catadioptric lenses contribute to improved performance. Long-term suitability of AVP for business applications and human visual comfort remains uncertain.
