Apple Offering Vision Pro Demos Starting on February 2

[Apple Fan 2008]

I can't imagine the lines in order to try one out.

How do I get on this mailing list of preferred customers?! Or is it going out to developers that have already been enrolled in the program.

I got the email probably because I signed up on the Vision Pro page to be notified about the device. Though to be fair I get emails from them about everything they sell so I probably would’ve gotten it as well.

I can definitely appreciate how right in the middle of CES, Apple (who doesn't participate) drops this bit of news and steals the show.

I'm sure it's cool, but since I don't ever plan on buying one -- unless the price dropped significantly -- I don't really see the need to demo it. Especially considering Apple stores are already filled to capacity with people, which makes me hate entering one.

I will wait for the release version where you (I) can keep your (my) glasses on, if it gets done.

Highly doubtful this will ever happen. Space for glasses means that the headset lenses need to be further from your eyes, which means they need to be bigger for equivalent FOV, so you end up with a heavier headset with a center of gravity that's further away from your head (which makes it feel even heavier)

Fun fact: I was born with one kidney. Learned that, on Halloween, when I was 30 (a story for another forum). If I had another kidney, I might be willing to part with it for VP. 🤪

This is how I imagine the demos going

The extra strap on top is a joke. No way people will wear these for an extended period of time. 🤷‍♂️

How in the world could you possibly know that no one will tolerate the top strap? I absolutely don't believe it will be an issue.

 

[Polinsky]

Apple Vision Pro is ugly

I find it very attractive.

That almost reads as if you can pre-order an appointment for a demo, not the thing itself 🤔

I am wondering the same thing!?

Extra top strap: $99

Prediction: someone is going to read this and not realize you're joking.

True. But the second line left no doubt that it was a joke 😊

 

[duffman9000]

will the lowly rabble be able to get a demo?

The pours will not be allowed in the store to demo.

Story time!!!

So glad it's only for US.

 

[davvid97]

So excited, need to organise a trip to USA for the vision 😍

 

[Average Pro]

I'll be dropping the cash for this. I wonder as these progress if it will replace my Apple monitors...

HairGate:

Once people wearing this thing realizes that in ruins their fancy 'doo' and/or means they have to take 2 hours extra doing their hair everytime they wear it.

Then they’ll say you’re styling your hair wrong and offer gift cards to Supercuts.

 

[SAIRUS]

How do they demo to people that require a prescription lense?

I got the email and I never signed up for anything or expressed any interest (as I have no interest). I just assumed they are sending it to everyone.

Where and how does one sign up for a reservation? Will this be online on 2/2 or do I need to show up with the rest of the people hoping to buy one that morning and sign up in the store?

 

[Rorosbutt]

What does “select customers” mean 🙄🙄

It's not clear from the email but I doubt they expect people to go to the store to sign up for a time and then have to return again later for the demo. So it will probably be an online sign up for those who received the invite.
