I’m using my iPhone to take a 3d map of the house I just bought and the Vision Pro to walk through the floorplan. Watching immersive videos is incredible. I’m typing this on my Mac right now, I can use the Vision to create a massive display for my laptop and use the keyboard/trackpad to seamlessly interact with both the Mac and the Vision apps.
I think it largely fits into the same pattern as other Apple devices - sure they have some features no one else has, but that’s not their biggest selling point or why people love them. It’s that almost all of the features they have are rock solid and work better than anything else. I’d rather have it do 20 things really really well than half ass 100 things.
I think people saying asking about the use cases must not be old enough to remember when iPad was released (or just don’t pay attention to tech). In it’s first year, iPad didn’t have 1/10 of the functionality the Vision has right now (< 1 month since release). The Vision is already incredibly capable IMO when you consider it’s a brand new OS with an entirely different interaction paradigm. And they nailed it, it’s rock solid. In 2-3 years it’s going to be another flourishing ecosystem. In 5-10 years it’s going to surpass the iPad by far. It likely won’t ever beat the iPhone but I wouldn’t be surprised if it grows to 50+ million devices a year once the price gets down to ~$1000.
Facetime is pretty incredible on this thing too, and you can share your view to demo it for others. It’s super fun.
SLR works with vision currently, but the videos are super washed out looking. The displays on Vision Pro have great colors so it’s really obvious and distracting. Hopefully they upgrade their camera equipment because both the color range and resolution need big improvements if they’re going to take advantage of what this headset is capable of.
