Not a particular app but sitting outside today, a breezy sunny 60° day watching concert films in theater mode was awesome. All of which were purchased on the original iTunes Store… can’t wait for 3-D immersive. Concerts to come.

What a sad, sad, life. A beautiful day in which you could be out enjoying REALITY but instead you have a helmet on that inhibits you from experiencing the beauty of the outside world. “But I could see the world around me”. Through SCREENS.
NOTHING more relaxing than a heavy goggles strapped to your face.
3 games, 1 app to get around a provider's momentary restriction (Juno), 1 app that does something for you but then warns you not to do it (Crouton), and 1 app to, let's be real, take photos of people, without them noticing (Spatial Cam). The rest is okay in my opinion, but overall this selection is not convincing so far.
No AR (or VR) apps because
Apple Asks Vision Pro Developers to Avoid 'VR' Branding and Hints at 'Vision' Product Line
Apple is asking developers to avoid mention of "AR" and "VR," as well as the Vision Pro as a generic "headset," when listing...www.macrumors.com
I don’t mean what Apple calls it.
These are the apps that were sent to MacRumors when they were reaching out. Crappy list in my opinion
A few of my picks:
Lego Builder’s Journey: such a relaxing, immersive, delightful experience. It’s a game that takes you on a structured, deliberate journey, not just a “build anything you want” game. I was blown away by this.
Puzzling Places: I’ve played this on Quest, but it’s much better on AVP. The detail and resolution is remarkable, and being able to manipulate the 3D puzzle pieces and the puzzle itself with just your hands is insanely fun and intuitive.
Cell Walk: diving into a bacteria cell and seeing all the components in 3D, with explanations and guided walkthrough, was absolutely surreal. The detail is amazing.
Now for the hall of shame:
Fruit Ninja. It’s laggy, clunky, and hard to hit anything. The hand tracking sucks in this game. It was the first third-party app I tried and I was very concerned that all the others would suck this bad. Fortunately, almost everything else I’ve tried has ranged from good to blow-you-away amazing.

Seriously? Hopefully there is more, much more to come than this crap.
i bet the recipe app is gonna be the thing that makes the $3500 purchase worth it
Having owned a Quest 2 I find this list shocking. It's 7 x the price but with software not remotely in the same league.
That’s why apple creates products with state of the art tech. Let developers use It to come up with amazing ways to use it that no one would have thought they needed. Ie Uber
I had a Quest 2. It was an absolute waste of money. Pure garbage. After one week of use, it got put into storage and hasn't been seen since.
and people wondered why Microsoft bought up some game studios. Xbox would probably not exist without halo.
You obviously never put it on. Mine are quite comfortable.
Juno is just wild. YouTube could've been on this list. Every list. And it wouldn't even bother fixing up the iPad app.
I have a feeling they are working on something bigger than just a YouTube player.

It’s buggy. What I find interesting is Christian’s marketing machine or whatever marketing company he’s using to propel his apps to develop a cult following.
