First impressions: Yes, Apple Vision Pro works and yes, it’s good. (techcrunch.com)

Early impressions sound like Apple may have actually pulled this off. Here’s what The Verge had to say:

Was all this made better by the wildly superior Vision Pro hardware? Without question. But was it made more compelling? I don’t know, and I’m not sure I can know with just a short time wearing the headset. I do know that wearing this thing felt oddly lonely. How do you watch a movie with other people in a Vision Pro? What if you want to collaborate with people in the room with you and people on FaceTime? What does it mean that Apple wants you to wear a headset at your child’s birthday party? There are just more questions than answers here, and some of those questions get at the very nature of what it means for our lives to be literally mediated by screens.

I definitely agree with that. I’d like to try this but I don’t know if I’d ever want one.

Yeah I think something like this will eventually be pretty mainstream. AR seems like the future in a lot of ways. This is just an early step.
