As someone who wants an AVP primarily for productivity, some of these are not problems. I already sit at my desk when I work. So battery life isn't an issue. It's really about how it feels sitting on my head for any extended period (unfortunately not something you can easily test in a store...like are they gonna let me sit there for an hour wearing it?)
Apologies if I was unclear. Are you referring to any particular part of my post?
The post, itself, makes absolutely no sense. You're going to look at your actual Mac display through the lens of vision pro so that you can have a sidecar display inside vision pro?!? Did you actually think about that before posting it? Good grief.
Initial impressions have been that most people can't stand wearing it for longer than 30 minutes anyway, so it seems the battery life isn't all that important.
Yeah I use a drawing display for work, which I can’t do inside the VP. The VP would be great to spread out all my reference images and docs while I work—especially when I’m on the go not at my desk, but even with my desk monitors screen real estate is always an issue because of the amount of reference material I work with—but I still require being able to draw on my display. But there are a lot of questions/unknowns as to whether this will work well with the VP and how.
I've seen several people say just the opposite. Wait for real users' reviews.
I remember reading in first impression accounts from people who tried VP at the product announcement that they were able to read their iPhones while wearing the VP. I can't find those accounts now, but I remember being impressed that VP's rendering was that precise.
You could just line up the virtual display with the physical display (but I suppose that would prevent you from adjusting the tilt and rotation of the screen). The biggest problem is that the closer your head is to a physical object—like your drawing display—the more issues you run into from the offset between the position of the cameras on the headset and the position of your eyes.
You haven't, because that doesn't exist. Every review that exists mentions the device is not comfortable to wear, and many of them have said very negative things. I know several people personally that have already worked with the device, and they are extremely down on it. I had the opportunity myself to use it already and declined. It is NOT a comfortable device to wear for any length of time. That isn't a debatable point. All it comes down to is how long someone is willing to tolerate it knowing what they paid for it.
I can spare you the questions/unknowns right now and tell you: you will not be interacting with any real world computer displays while wearing VP.
Not to mention you can have mirror one display so you won’t have your multi monitor set up, unless you somehow use iPad apps for your job🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you can use your mac for one app and use the apps natively installed on the AVP device as second and third windows. 🙃
You’re right that it’s not debatable, but not because it’s a fact, it’s because it’s an opinion and opinions are mostly worthless to debate. Comfort is highly subjective. There is no scientific categorizing of comfortable and uncomfortable. It’s a spectrum, as it is with the comfort of all devices. All devices except those designed for relaxing (and probably even those) have some level of discomfort, including an iPhone. No one wants to hold a slab of metal all day. The VP simply has a higher discomfort level, which means for most it can’t be used as long. These are generalizations, not absolutes. I’ve found there aren’t as many absolutes in the world as people like to believe.
That’s encouraging. But I need to see how close it is to real life. If there’s even the slightest added strain on the eyes for some reason, I feel like the problem could compound after a short while. Hopefully not,
Yeah I feel like there could be problems with that if it’s not exact 1:1 alignment. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
Yep. That was the reason why I first got an iPhone. I needed a new cell phone and also wanted an iPod. That is the use case iPhone offered. This Vision Pro doesn’t have a use case that can’t be accomplished by something better. You can create a VERY GOOD home theater system for the Vision Pro price. And the audio will certainly be better than the crappy AirPods Pro. I seriously cannot stand earbuds.
As soon as I read this exaggeration and hyperbole, credibility goes down the drain and the ignore list gets a new member.
having unlimited display space is a HUGE win. if I stretch out my Mac display to be HUGE... I don't necessarily need another screen. I have a huge display already... I can just shrink down the windows within the Mac. What am I missing here?
In theory? Nothing.
