"Chokkattu experienced this too; he set the Vision Pro’s battery pack on the couch cushion next to him during his demo, but in the photo Apple shared with us, the offending pack is cropped out of the frame” 😬

But also, how long is it going to take for somebody to make an alternate headband with battery housing built-in? And why doesn't Apple make one?

The One Part of the Vision Pro That Apple Doesn’t Want You to See

Apple’s latest series of Vision Pro demos carefully obscures one important hardware feature.

@stroughtonsmith They moved the battery off the headset likely for weight reasons. What I don’t understand: if you already need a cable out to a box, why not move more of the computer to the box in order to make the headset lighter?

Weight is the #1 drawback according to most of the reviews I’ve seen.

@kirsch @stroughtonsmith agreed on it being the weight. My hopeful thought is they are helping to develop new battery tech that will make the pack completely unnecessary. #fantasyisland
@stroughtonsmith I’ll have one 3D printed next weekend
