I am seeing it all over facebook, not a good look for this device.
It's literally the new virtual boy.
I got sick from it as well.
Got a tip for us?

It's literally the new virtual boy.
I got sick from it as well.
That’s because a crying kid is sitting next to her but isn’t tall enough to be in the frame. Is it any wonder she has her AirPods Pro in? I’m looking forward to flying with the AVP, most likely in economy +… 😉
Just leave it home and enjoy the real world. No need to irritate airline/airport personnel as well as your seat mate with this thing.
I remember as a kid, Nintendo marketing the Virtual Boy as a portable device. It was really hyped as such. All us kids thought we’d be able to strap it on to our faces for those long car rides in the backseat. Man… Nintendo really burned all of us impressionable kids at the time.
After renting the Virtual Boy for a weekend from Blockbuster Video and realizing how awful it was, we concluded that the technology needed another 10 to 15 years to get to where it needs to be. Sound familiar? 🤣
100%. It seems like a lot of bulk and effort just to be able to have a little less distraction while watching a movie on a plane. Esp if the flight is longer than a few hours and you run out of battery.
It reminds me of a line from an old Simpsons episode.. "is your car working for you, or are you working for your car?".
What was that **** from Tiger Electronics and you could wear it on your eye like Vegeta ?
Yeah that is what vision pro is.
A discounted POS product that will end up at the bargain bin of Toys R Us.

Interesting. Impacts certainly, but excessive vibration? Would that include extreme air turbulence?
So you own one? And still check out Facebook? Enough said
You have a lot more to worry about in extreme turbulence than your AVP surviving, like if the airplane will survive.
Actually, they should integrate it where you are in flight and if there were any announcements, they should come on your screen while you are watching. I think this would be a good safety measure so if the pilot says please turn off your devices, then that should go on your screen while you are watching Apple Vision Pro
Yet another example of Tim Crook trying to nickel-and-dime consumers...
Hey, Tim, isn't $3,900 per unit enough money, you greedy soulless corporate scum?
This thing is honestly just going to become a nuisance that is going to require more rules and laws to be made.
Can’t wait to hear about the first car accident caused by this.
And yeah…I hope Delta bans the thing too. It’s just not the type of tech you wanna travel with and use around others.

To be fair, if you’re spending at that price point, another $200 isn’t much.

Well since you joined this site a day ago, generally we like some links to other sites for proof of such a vague claim.
Define “many” out of the estimated 200,000 units sold.

Please don´t do it.

After enough of you messaged asking if I was going to do it… fine, I’ll be that guy, and wear Vision Pro on my flight home. It certainly ought to make it pass a lot faster!

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same.
I only see downsides here: it’s very asocial, it’s cumbersome, it requires additional carry-on and it lasts 1 movie. Barely.
Are we that detached from the world we can’t handle a plane flight?
This will only take off in these scenario’s when these devices become foldable. Or planes have them built-in.

What's missing from this guide is to check with your carrier if they allow the use of external/portable battery packs
Most carriers insist they are carried on board and not checked in luggage and there are limitations on size etc, this should not be a concern, but not all allow you to use or charge them during the flight.
Most carriers already have extra rules if you drop your phone between seats let alone a battery pack, which is one of their main concerns.
I expect Apple would have to release a direct power supply to get around these restrictions else many may find their AVP just sitting in the overhead locker

I will be flying with mine tomorrow. I am looking forward to watching a movie while reclining in my seat. I’ve always hated having to tilt my head forward in order to see the iPad display. I may also work on a keynote presentation while I’m at it. One of the reasons I got it was so I could do those things on an airplane. I wore my Apple Vision Pro for at least 6 to 8 hours today, no discomfort whatsoever. Well engineered device.
Oh no, how will people be able to get passed you when you are wearing those?!Paul Hudson (@twostraws@mastodon.social)

It was meant as a comment to the crazy people in this thread making that out to be an issue.You say “excuse me” like everyone else?
