I just received my Apple Vision Pro VR headset (excuse me, spatial computer in Apple’s parlance). My review is short: in the last 40 years I have used many type of computers, starting with punched card IBM mainframes to the latest generation AI supercomputers. But this device blows everything else away in its sheer ability to transport you into a different environment.
The interface needs improvement and it needs to get lighter and perhaps less expensive. I had to get custom Zeiss eye correction inserts that need to be ordered with a prescription when you order the device. But all this is to expected from a first generation device.
What it does well it does better than anything else in the market. The 3D movies are mesmerizing in their clarity and sheer jaw dropping realism. A short 3D music clip of Alicia Keys rehearsing in her LA studio was amazing. You physically feel like you are in the studio with her band and the music in Dolby Atmis surround is quite impressive.
Will this change the way people consume music? Probably not, but it makes YouTube videos look so pathetic in comparison. 5 minutes with this device will tell you a lot about what the future of AV will be in the coming years.
