Apple Vision Pro: First Impressions

[Music] Apple's got a VR headset it's true it's called Vision Pro the Apple Vision Pro though is not coming out until 2024 but it was showing off here at Apple's developer conference as expected and yeah it was a whole presentation so here are my reactions so far first of all it's really expensive this is 3 500 that is the price of a Microsoft hololens 2. magic

leap those types of high-end AR headsets or industrial type VR headsets like the vario xr3 which you probably haven't heard of in terms of the everyday VR headset territory nothing comes close to that although some things do get to the Thousand fifteen hundred dollar price range things like the metaquest pro that seems really cheap now compared to Vision Pro apple is promising a really immersive display

here this is 4K micro OLED with a very high pixel density how good does it look well they're promising this will replace your your TV or monitor of course a lot of VR air companies promise that I'd be really curious to see how well that looks to us also it's supposed to work as a work device again casting monitors from your connected devices especially a Mac

which is the sort of thing that we've seen with other VR headsets but maybe it works more automatically with Max there's also some support for the keyboard and the trackpad devices that Apple has which would help because the main interface is all hand gestures eye tracking and voice now the Microsoft hololens and AR headset went all hand tracking and eye tracking but we haven't seen any

device really fully moved to that although meta's Quest devices do have hand tracking it's just not considered as accurate enough to fully replace controllers how do you feel you know about the feedback when that happens there's no haptics will it feel really amazing will you long for the controller I don't know but Apple's really betting hard on that and claiming that that's going to be the

new interface language here a lot of the other stuff looks like it's leaning on iOS a lot of the same apps are going to run on this with the ability to run specialized mixed reality apps that could be multitask you could put these side by side that's interesting and the design looks like a super duper Quest Pro you know this is something that definitely looks like

a big VR headset it's got a very Sleek Ready Player one type look at first glance it's got a ribbed stretchy band on the back it has an external battery though that dangles down to the side so it's not contained in here there's spatial audio that's off the headpiece here that's similar to the quest two really interesting things here one it has a display on the

outside a curved OLED that will show your eyes creepy or useful we don't know I mean it's it's trippy and it will show where your eyes are whether you're in an app so people come close to you they'll actually kind of fuzz into view and the mixed reality which is controlled with the digital Crown will allow the real world to pass through and show that person

and Apple's claiming that the mixed reality capabilities which blend the real world with cameras are so good that you'll be able to use this to really see the outside world and portray items into it which is something that Matt is doing with the quest Pro and other companies are exploring this is an ongoing Trend in VR to have those pass-through cameras Apple also has lidar sensors

on this for depth scanning the extra trick though is this is also a 3D camera apple is claiming you'll be able to capture realistic moments photos and videos that will look really great afterwards when you play them back but you're going to have to wear that headset to capture the moment so I don't know how that's going to work at a birthday party the other thing

about its capabilities with Disney plus and there's Promises of games on this it's going to take a long time to get app developers on board especially since this has a new interface language but it shows that Apple's really serious about this how serious well we're gonna have to see when this headset launches later and when I eventually get to try it I'll have thoughts about that

as well but the Vision Pro not the reality Pro is another big bet on this AR VR future that Google and Samsung are also planning to get into that's the news from Apple in AR VR land and talk to you soon if you have questions or comments please leave them down below and thanks for watching
