Before AVP
After
Seems half baked. More effort into the life blood products, phones and iPad. BTW why the wait on new iPads?
Not a AVP user but same issue for me. Playing games is fine since you are distracted but as soon as I try to lay down and just consume like a movie, all my attention moves to that thing on my face and I can’t wait for it to just be over so I can take it off. I end up constantly making adjustments for parts of my skin to breathe or to put a little pressure off my cheeks. I think the longest I could do was a 1h 20 min movie. It’s also a shame cuz I LOVE the huge virtual screen in a virtual imax theater
No issues here and I use mine several hours a day. The first day or two there was some acclimation needing to happen, but after that no problems at all.
The Vision Pro's maximum refresh rate is 100 Hz - even the Meta Quest 3 is able to refresh at 120 Hz.
It is a fault by design they (Apple) should have ask some medical doctors at first.

My only complaint is my eye lenses are locked focussing at a constant distance while wearing. Everything is shown on the OLED displays at the same focal distance. Yes, parallax gives the illusion of 3D, but focussing never changes, no matter where one looks.
With all due respect are avp users unaware that this is normal?
I have that with the PSVR gen 1.
After about half an hour it starts to become uncomfortable. And weirdly, when I take it off I’m usually super thirsty. Let alone, that weird disconnect of being back in real reality rather than virtual reality.
With all due respect they won’t unless they do another face scan.
I love futuristic tech as much as the next guy, but nothing about this product is appealing to me. My first thoughts upon seeing it was that it looks like it would give me a headache.
When I was watching the original reviews of it, people were complaining about some of these things after a brief period of time. Did they think it'd stop happening?
Black eyes? That seems like a gigantic stretch, and the sort of thing that the 1 lb AVP could not do if fitted properly.
Has anyone checked if her significant other has a history of abuse? Jk, but seriously, I have trouble believing this happened from AVP use, at least with proper use and fitting.

Of course, it is uncomfortable with those stupid headbands. I own a Quest 3 and I cannot stand wearing the default head-strap for more than 15 minutes. After I replaced it with a better third party head-strap that has an external battery on the back as a counter weight I could finally wear it for hours.
I guess Apple excluded this guy from the design team.
Apple Bumpers will be provided free of charge to the first 100 AVP owners. For everyone after that, $499. Y'know, priced just below the optional head strap accessory, to make you wish you weren't such a cheapskate in the first place.

Go to the numerous Apple Vision Pro FB Groups there are tens of thousands of people with no issues. There were some in the beginning (early-mid Feb)but new fittings, straps etc have taken care of all of them.
Experiencing a loss of consciousness from a migraine after using the Vision Pro isn't the same as falling asleep though
lol the media. 100 people and 99 say 0 issues 1 person says issue. Where do you think the mics are going to?
They just need to release a neck reinforcing turtle neck sweater. The AppleNeck
I don't complain about anything, but I also had the opportunity to try out straps and fits beforehand. Who knew I would love the small size headband? Not my hat size, thats for sure.
I use mine about six hours a day for work and watching content. No problems whatsoever. My work productivity has greatly improved, and I can’t imagine watching a movie any other way.
And on top of that, every single person that wears it looks a complete and utter fool.
really, this gets revisited 2.5 months after the launch and so many complaints about comfort? well it obviously create a lot of comments and clicks ...
FWIW, during my demo, I had no discomfort whatsoever ...
