Does Apple have any more than just 2-3 models for its promo pics?
I remember when we first had parallax with the iOS home screen and motion sickness sufferers seemed to really put a damper on that design style. Apple dialed parallax UI back after that (it was later added to icons/screen unlock etc in more subtle ways.)
It’s good that motion sickness suffers have been cautioned on buying/using AV. There’s now no restraints on users who don’t experience this (no disrespect.)

Have any of you seen the movie 'Upgrade'? there is a scene in there with a bunch of people in an old attic space with these types of goggles on with IVs dripping stimulants to stay awake and play games....I don't know but that is what I think about when I see these.
Bingo. If this is anything like what I experience with 3d tv, then it’s a non starter for me. I’d get way too dizzy
I hear it has an App for curing ED! You know which one! That makes the $3500 worth it! lol
Yeah that was kind of a weird comment. If you want to get the pastor preaching, talk sound equipment
My brother should be glad to know that ocular myasthenia gravis is not one of the listed contraindications.
We've been hopeful that the AVP would actually be able to correct his vision issues just with a software update.
Unfortunately I can find no evidence that software support is yet available for prism corrections, which should be similar to the corrections he would want.
Still, the fact that prism corrections are not available for the Zeiss lens inserts may provide incentive for apple to implement software prism accommodations.
„ … "If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, consult a medical provider or the manufacturer of your medical device before using Apple Vision Pro," says Apple. The headset and battery should be kept at a safe distance from these medical devices. …“
What is a safe distance? If i wear a pacemaker and sit next to an AVP user on the airplane …

I immediately thought of the side effects of Happy Fun Ball! 😂 You beat me to it.
Time for Apple to start selling $299 eyedrops to help ease the eye strain.
I'm in somewhat agreement with you about VR headsets, but much less so "true" AR, because most of the issues would be moot if your AR device were a sci-fi style pair of glasses with embedded screens that superimposed images on your regular field of view. Many people already wear glasses anyway, so tacking a computer onto them isn't a big lift, and isn't going to run into most of the issues that a VR headset creates for some people, and that prevent it from being an "everyone has one" technology.
My take on the Vision Pro is that it's effectively an early prototype that's shoehorning an AR experience into a bulky VR headset, because the technology that might make spatial computing everyday-useful isn't there yet. Assuming that there's something to spatial computing (which isn't a given), and that the technology does indeed get "there" (in, say, 10-20 years, also not a given but likely), then the Vision Pro 8 or whatever it's called is going to be the real product, the point at which it goes from novelty/technology demonstration to what it wants to be and something more than a small number of people will actually use every day.
The same caution applies for other activities, such as:
- Driving a car
- Hiking at high altitudes
- Doing high-intensity workouts
- Playing a contact sport
- Drinking alcohol
- Riding roller coasters
Looks like the standard disclaimers for using a VR/AR device.
