Ok, I used the Apple Vision Pro for about 30 minutes. It’s good. It’s expensive. It’s VERY design, and MUCH engineering. I’m intrigued as hell. https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/05/first-impressions-yes-apple-vision-pro-works-and-yes-its-good/

@panzer I was expecting a call. Was the phone app not working? 😏
@panzer Say less, fam. This is the only opinion I needed. Lobbying the wife begins!
@panzer is the passthrough 2D or 3D?
@mattbrown @panzer I’ve heard it described as no different from wearing a pair of safety glasses and so good you can use your iPhone through it like no big deal.
@panzer It looks really close to the new paradigm that will actually drive VR/AR adoption. I love headsets for gaming, but no one has shown me anything that a headset can do that I can't do (easier and more efficiently) on a monitor. I think we're really on the edge of a new way of interacting with data, but right now headsets feel like something from old cyberpunk books. They're all working on the same basic platform introduced in Windows 1. I don't know what the new way of interacting will be, but I'm sure we'll know it when we see it.
@panzer thanks for the write up! I was hoping someone was going to be able to use it!
@panzer is the passthrough effect "accurate"? Like, did it feel like you're watching VR screens with a rendered video feed, or did it feel like the tech disappeared and you were just looking at the world through glass?
@stevestreza but very high res low latency - enough to feel comfortable walking around
@panzer @stevestreza Does the AR view of the world look three dimensional still?
@danedeasy @stevestreza yeah it looks like normal it’s still presented in stereo
