Do you regularly use the AR functions on AVP?

As the thread title states, I’m curious how many people regularly use the AVP for augmented reality purposes. I’ve seen quite a few topics of people who use it as a glorified movie theater, but the AR portion seems to be used just to try it out and then put to one side.

The deafening silence and low view count on the thread tells me the uptake of AR is not great…

I don't think a device this bulky and heavy can be qualified as an AR device tbh

I’m not sure what you mean by the AR aspect. Vision Pro is a spatial computing device where you manipulate apps and content within your actual spatial environment - it’s hard to use it without “AR”. There is an option to use VR environments in full or partial immersion when using apps or watching video, but I would say that maybe 10% of my usage is within full immersion. Watching video within a fully immersive environment is definitely a popular use case, but I mainly use Vision Pro the same way I would an iPad or Mac - using apps like Safari, Outlook, and Notes, typically with environments turned off. I only turn on environments when I want to watch a movie or when my real environment is too visually noisy. So if you’re asking if the folks on this forum use Vision Pro for anything besides watching movies in VR theater environment, I think the answer would be yes for 90% of us.
