While I agree, macOS or iPadOS versions of CAD software is a tad, well lacking.

To this day, I don’t see the value of the watch either, nor the phone 😱 for me.
Cellular iPad mini + VOIP app + buds cover my telephony needs just fine. IMO, pretty much all other apps are better on the bigger screen.
Desktop and laptop Macs scratch the computer itch. Desktop is connected to a 5K2K Dell ultra-wide instead of ASD.
I favor a traditional watch when I want to wear one.
I also added a PC to cover the loss of bootcamp stuff: ARM Windows doesn’t cover everything.
And as a 22-year Apple (about) everything guy, I’m pretty interested in this product.
One doesn’t have to “collect them all” to see value or not see value in some of them.

The commercial is clever and fun. However, it's also funny that all of the characters (except for the Minion) are putting on goggles/helmets as they embark on an epic adventure of some sort. The woman wearing the Vision Pro is getting ready to sit on her couch. 😅
And BIM Architecture?
I would guess Autodesk will-be/has-been working with Apple getting AVP on-board.

Landing the actual doghouse after it's shot up by the Baron is very painful. But if you are virtual Snoopy, you can crash land every time on the couch with nary a scratch.

You’re wrong but either way, movies and tv shows is a big reason I’m getting one. I really enjoy watching tv using my Apple TV, and I get to basically do phone functions like FaceTime, messaging, web and apps as well, I call this a win win situation. At home this is the only device I’ll need to interact with, and using my eyes and hand gestures to control it make it too easy.
I didn’t see anything wrong with the ad. Everyone putting on masks, googles, helmets to go on an adventure. The woman puts on Vision Pro and sit on her couch because any adventure she could dream of can be done right from the comfort of her home. That’s the magic of Vision Pro.
Amazing how many famous advertising executives in this thread don't get that.
I enjoyed the ad too. It was just plain ole fashioned fun hinting at a bright future. Maybe that’s too much optimism for some.
This has got to be the first new Apple product category that 99.9% of its customers cannot afford.
IMO not a great way to introduce a new product category, lol.

Why the backslashes? Just curious from a Cultural Anthropology perspective.
I'm so torn on this. On the negative side, I see it as not particularly better for my normal computer usage which is 90% reading stuff (both work and surfing the net, like this comment on Macrumors). I could use it for work, but I could not use for work video calls because I'd look ridiculous if I popped in as an Avatar instead of being on camera. So I would have to pop it off and connect on my Mac if I was going on camera. I'd feel a bit ridiculous in public, so I don't think I'd use this traveling. I'd feel isolated from my family while using this at home. And while I can afford one of these, I can't possibly afford a set for the whole family. So these are all negatives.
On the positive side, it will immediately be the closest thing to virtual reality available, and much more advanced than anything I've ever used. And virtual reality can be stunningly compelling. I suspect this is going to be way better than Quest headsets and those can be engaging. There are obviously going to be experiences available on this thing that are not available anyway else. So much like when the iPhone came out, there will be a divide. Back then, if you had an iPhone you could do certain things that people without iPhone could not do. I suspect this is going to be like that.

Before every major product launch Apple has every had, there’s always multiple threads about how the product will suck, or it’s too expensive, and Apple has lost its touch, and blah blah blah blah. Then a decade later after Apple has spawned a massive new product category, we dig up these old threads and mock the posters that thought it would fail.
cya in 2034 folks.

this ad could benefit from some.... footage of all the things ya can actually do... I really can't believe they didn't have a second event and show off some actual software.... hell even if they show one of the modern resident evil games in VR specifically for it I'll be happy
if anyone buying one of these wants to just pay me that money i’ll happily show up at your house and be an embarrassing, useless purchase you’re going to regret later. so same experience.
People won't know that they need this, until they try it, and realize that this "computer interface" will be revolutionary!!! ... Creatives, working on known creativity apps, will be clamoring for this, when they see how much faster they can accomplish real work. Look at a button, tap with your fingers, done. Look fingertap, look fingertap, look fingertap. That interface will put any trackpad, mouse or even shortcut-keystrokes to shame, not to mention having to remember shortcuts, ....ALL to shame. ....Our grandchildren will hear about the archaic ways we used to interface with a computer, ...with things called mice and trackpads. This is the future. 🚀🚀🚀🚀

I loved it as soon as I saw it. I wish the article mentioned this!
While I agree it doesn’t work as well as the iPhone ”Hello” ad, in a way it works since Vision Pro is being marketed for media consumption, so the clips are from things that can be enjoyed on Vision Pro. Not exactly the same, of course.
AGREE !!!
This was all said about the iPad when that was introduced. Yet Apple created a new vertical.
...Like many of us predicted with the iPad, Apple Vision Pro will create an entire new vertical, and paradigm, in computing.

Why were you going to complain about them not including something in the ad before you even watched the ad?
ah, thats SOP here, that’s right!
So when Apple does 3D, then it's "cool" ... got it..
Or Eight 24 Inch Displays, ....Or Three 48 inch Displays, ....or Five 30 inch Displays,
...are you getting it !
Go Apple !!
You’re not really making the point you think you are. They could also just be holding their iPhone or iPad (Or crappy non-Apple product).
