I desperately wanted to love it, but I didn't. Eye Tracking is its golden ticket but not much else. Overall a very disappointing experience and I couldn't find the value for dollar that I was looking for. I'm a die hard apple ecosystem/fanboy but I just couldn't do it.
Same here. The technology is pretty remarkable to offer the best experience available for this type of product, at the moment. Problem is though that it’s still far too compromised of an experience vs. just about everything on a different device. You can use a Mac but the experience is better on it’s own dedicated display. You check email, send Messages, browse Safari, use Notes but its far more laborious or cumbersome to do so. Text entry without a dedicated keyboard is terrible for anything more than a few words. Comfort is obviously a big issue. Pass through is better than on any other device—but it’s still a subpar experience vs. what you actually see without the device. Trying to move shows its shortcomings—very jittery/blurry, like it’s trying to catch up to your movements. The glare issue noted all over the internet was a real deal problem for me…just watching movies, which is actually the best experience on the AVP (along with the immersive environments) resulted in fringing or even lens flare. And it wasn’t a light seal issue because I had no noticeable light bleed and even testing in a dark room.
But worst of all, the eye tracking was just too inconsistent or unreliable for me. I constantly would have to look above or off to the side of my intended target for it to actually highlight what I wanted to select. I tried resetting up the device and eye tracking numerous times with no improvement.
I really wanted to like the Vision Pro and some aspects of it were remarkable but at the end of the day, it was a far too compromised experience for me. I’m looking forward to seeing how it changes and hopefully improves over time. I’ll give it a go again in a future iteration.
