I am keeping mine.
I did a demo on the store and afterwards picked one up I ordered before. I wanted to wait for the demo so I can cancel the order if needed.
The demo was good but I have to say having it for a few days, it is even better.
I have a light gap where the nose is. I can see the light as long as the AVP is off/dark.
As soon as the screen comes on I don’t notice this anymore. I guess I am
Too concentrated on where I look.
Same for the FOV. I can only see this dark frame around as long as the AVP is booting up and has this dark grey screen. If the screen is completely dark (of course) or when it is completely on, I do not see the frame. Fully immersive for me. It does help getting old. Lol.
Also I wear readers (should wear prescription glasses) that are 2.0. So I got the 2.0 to2.75 inserts.
When I came home I tried the AVP without anything a d what to you know, I could see pretty good. I could see my apple
Watch when I hold it up and also read emails on the iPhone wearing the AVP. Not perfect but I could read, impossible otherwise without readers.
So I started to believe that I might not need the inserts. The next day I opened the I seres box anyway and put them in. What can I say, even sharper (as one could reasonable expect). Reading the iPhone works or anything that close to the cameras.
The background is kind of what everyone is saying “blurry” but I guess that’s by design to make the artificial screens “pop” giving it dept so to speak. Would be nice if Apple would get it in focus when you look at the background.
Anyway, 4200 dollar doesn’t seem too much to me for this device. I can tell you that my first computer cost me 4 month worth of salary (yeah, I am that old, lol).
Not even counting dot printers, 5.25 floppy discs that are actually floppy. Monitors. Graphic boards, mother boards. My first hard drive was 20GB and cost a fortune. And on top of that needed a SCSI driver board.
So 4K for something that keeps me busy and entertained is a “yes” from me.
The only other headset was the meta version 2
A nice toy but I prefer something that’s more substantial and that has support from a great company and a an even better online group of people that helps out.
