Hands on: Apple Vision Pro: I just wore the future wwdc23
I've tried them all and they all have their moments. They also have their limits. The visuals don't always hold together. Outside-in features like passthrough video are grainy or the representation of your hands and fingers is too cartoony. The headsets are usually too heavy or uncomfortable to wear for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Apple would use this information to select the right set of Zeiss lens inserts for the Vision Pro. Apple told me they had just a fraction of the lens options that would eventually be available to potential Vision Pro customers. I was not allowed to take photos of myself wearing the Vision Pro headset or capture any of the images I saw Lifting the headset, I noticed that it seemed smaller and lighter than competing VR headgear from Meta and even HTC. Keeping the battery outside of the body is a less-than-Apple-like move, but I think it's ultimately the right one. A gram or two more in the body and maybe Vision Pro isn't so comfortable to wear.
There are a pair of buttons on the Vision Pro. The one on the upper left is for capturing spatial photos and videos. I never used that. On the other side is the Digital Crown. Yes, it's just like the Digital Crown on an Apple Watch but larger. When I heard Apple included this on the Vision Pro, I was skeptical. Why would Apple bring a tiny Apple Watch part to its VR headset? Turns out, it's a near-perfect way to augment gesture controls.
In the Photos app, I looked at 12ft photos and panoramas that basically wrapped almost fully around me. Apple, I thought, had finally found a use for all those panoramic photos we've been taking for almost a decade.
