This is pretty good article about the way a Vision Pro can be used in your day to day. But to get lemmy’s apple enthusiast required Apple Bad out of the way…
So here goes, from the article:
the Vision Pro still isn’t something most people should consider buying
There. Anyway.
I’m going on my first flight today since getting my Vision Pro and I’m excited. I downloaded some random shows, including some from an iPad app, and the 3D version of Mad Max: Fury Road!
I fully expect it to be a buggy, early-adopter-quality experience, but I’m psyched.
The flight had wifi and I had sprung for a seat with a charging port, so I was able to use it for nearly the entirety 6 hours of the flight with the exception of take off and landing.
I turned on travel mode before the plane started moving. I’ve heard that if you don’t it can be buggy getting into travel mode.
After that I saw maybe one or two hitches. If I looked down the tracking would fail but otherwise it was smooth the whole way.
I would say that watching Mad Max with it projected out above the lake in Mount Hood was the best 3D movie experience I’ve had. That I was on a plane the whole time was almost inconsequential.
I also watched some youtube videos and wow presents+ videos. I could have used the in-flight entertainment as well, since it was streaming at high resolution through Safari.
I was able to text and do other stuff as well during the flight.
I felt a little self conscious wearing it when the flight attendant came by so I’d always pull it off my head each time. This messed with the volume of my bluetooth headphones.
But when I went to power down the headset for landing I saw someone else doing the same with his vision pro so I don’t feel as bad about my wearing it.
Definitely an expensive device for the experience, but still incredible!

I am thoroughly enthused, one might say.
Well, how did it go?
It was honestly an incredible experience.
