You're wasting your time trying to explain anything to that person. Everyone else understands what people mean when they talk about using their three monitor setup on a plane or using Vision Pro to virtualize three displays. Just not that guy.
You make it sound as if you can just resize the Mac "monitor" bigger so you can fit more Mac apps inside it. Not sure if that's what you meant, but I don't think it works that way.
Think of it more as a sales pitch. Companies usually don’t charge for sales pitches. I’d guess there’s at least one company that does charge, which is why I used “usually”.
I doubt they will charge. They don't need the money and they want people to experience it and spread the news. They are really going to have to do everything right for this tech to stick.
Agree. I just need the readers....and I am not going to an optometrist for that.
Apple today provided customers in the U.S. with some tips for pre-ordering the Vision Pro starting next Friday, January 19 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.
I have a distance, reading, and a progressive prescription. Does anyone know which would be submitted for the lenses?
I'm over 40. I wear contacts. Sometimes it's harder to focus at typical smartphone distance, but I have no issues focusing in VR while wearing contacts.
Likely in the 1 to 2 meter range.
This says that you need to upload the prescription "after checkout," so no one has to worry about figuring it out as they rush to preorder.
The physical displays are like an inch from your eyes. That's not reading distance. What is important is where the built-in lenses adjust the focus distance to. And that's typically in the 1 to 2 meter range for VR headsets. And the Vision Pro is fundamentally a VR headset.
You won't want any kind of multi-focal lens. You'll want to use the prescription that works best in the 1 to 2 meter range.
See above.
4K is actually going to be a marketing term here. There is no set resolution to any "monitor" (all are virtual) that is placed in virtual environment. The only true resolution is set by the two individual eye displays themselves. Those are each "4K" and in tandem, create the only true resolution for the system. Those have a set resolution. Any virtual monitor set within that space can be sized to whatever scale the user wants, but this doesn't change the amount of pixels allocated to it especially when you involve foveated rendering. It truly is a new paradigm and discussing it in classical monitor terms is not applicable.
capabilities.
if it goes in the pace of the airpod max it will still be on version 1 by that time.
You're looking at two flat 2D screens through two fixed-focus lens systems. If the Vision Pro were capable of adjusting focus dynamically, you wouldn't need vision correction at all, except maybe for astigmatism, because it could just be calibrated to each user and dynamically adjusted by the headset itself.
Are you sure you shared the right video? This must be about chairs or seat cushions...
I'm confused.Are you sure you shared the right video? This must be about chairs or seat cushions...

When I click on the video it takes me to a video of an Eye doctor explaining vision in VR and how those relate to prescriptions....I checked on amazon and at REI but could not find any any that have a top strap … 😊
By February 9th you'll be waiting at least 6 months for your Vision Pro order to be fulfilled.I get that this confusion on prescriptions is all part of being an early adopter.
But, it seems like Apple could put out a short video with an optometrist explaining the details.
I'm sure by Feb 9th, all these details will be well discussed here and elsewhere.
