I’ve been using my Vision Pro for about an hour now, and the glare is horrible. It’s not from outside it’s a glare from the inside from the lights of the screens. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It's times like this I miss Steve Jobs as he would be saying "You're holding it wrong".
Can you go to the store to have them check your fit? Good luck!

Is it light on the inside of the screen that you are referring to? I know with the quest 3 there is glare that comes from the inside screen hitting the pancake lenses. It’s very noticeable in dark screen conditions.
It reminds me of when my quest 2 get fogged up inside from the lenses being cold except i wiped These and wore it so long it should be fine. Would truly suck watching a full Movie like that
I can 100% guarantee you that you didn’t get it fitted in an Apple Store.
Set up an appointment and get your correct seal. I just saw 5 people come in here because of that. lol. Then magically, they are like oh wow…it’s much better now.

Yes all Quest 3 have that issue due to the pancake lenses. If the AVP has the same issue it’s going back. No way I’m dealing with that again.
I can deal with it on my Quest 3 because way cheaper and for gaming it’s not an issue. But for movie watching I found it way too distracting.
...and here. we. go!!
Oh it's going to be quite a ride on the forums these next few days as normal folks who bought AVP realize Apple overhyped this to the MAX

I can 99% guarantee that the glare is nothing to with anything outside coming in, but rather inside coming out. It sounds just like the Quest 3 pancake lens issue. It glares even in a pitch black room.
My AVP should be here any moment today, so I’ll report back on this because I know exactly what the OP is talking about (if we’re talking about the same thing).
Haha yeah. With such a high price the buyers remorse will be strong. I imagine the return factor will be much higher with this than people who bought meta quest and then returned.
The real question will be does Apple have a way to refurb them in house to make them new again and sell as new.
Some reviewers have noted that high-contrast content is causing glare. This was in reference to pass-through content (bright windows or similar), but would of course also apply to VR content.
I'm sure they'll figure it out. They always do. *edit* they will NOT refurbish and sell as new. They NEVER do this. Refurb sold as refurb.
Just an observation from being an Apple Store since 630AM today.
One report of a glare from a device that probably wasn't fitted right and this is the conclusion?
I just did a 30 min demo at the Apple Store, in bright lights, before picking mine up. They ensured it was fitted correctly with the correct light seal. No glare.
It's not a "conclusion", but simply knowing that this category of device has very very very subjective experiences for folks. Far too many folks over excited about this are mainly that way because "Apple. something..something"
You wouldn’t see it during your demo.
I didn’t have a demo. I just got it in the mail this mornings based on turning it off and still seeing multiple points of refracted light I think it is the light seal so I just ordered a replacement of a narrow one. Hopefully that fixes the issue because the Apple stores are all booked up big time. My only worry is that this still happened when I was in a totally dark room. I will say that Apple phone support was very helpful and nice today like the old days
If it happened in a totally dark room it's nothing to do with the light seal, obviously! The light seal keeps light from getting in, not from getting out. This issue sounds internal - to do with the lenses refracting light from the micro OLED displays, and again - this sound suspiciously like the issue with the Quest 3. I'll be returning it if so.
Come on, UPS!
And for some reason people, like you, seem to take great joy in this. I'll never understand it.
