tl;dw -- reviewers are understandably focusing on the technical specs, but ignoring the much more simple metric: conceptually, does the device fool the mind into accepting what it sees as "real"? And the answer for the Vision Pro is yes. It will get lighter, better, cheaper, but even now, it's important to realize that the AVP can transport you to another realistic reality in a way no other device has managed. I've only done the in-store demo, but I understand what the video is saying, and it resonates for me.
- speg 3y agoI found the demo a bit underwhelming, if only because it was guided. However I must admit the scene on the mountain, in front of the piano, and on the football pitch were amazing. If that is the future of content, sign me up.
- gcanyon 3y agoFree advice for anyone going in for the demo: be comfortable in VR, read up on how the AVP works ahead of time, and tell the Apple person that. I got to see/experience a lot more during my demo than a friend did because I was always jumping ahead and pushing the pace.

- gcanyon 3y agoHa, yup, silly youtube. I'll fix it in a second. Edit: there's a time limit on edits? Okay, I'm replying to that comment with the correct URL, and adding it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krpbAMJlLTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krpbAMJlLTc
