Mixed Reviews for Apple's Vision Pro Headset

Praised for its Display Technology, Criticized for its High Price and Limited Field of View

  • Apple's Vision Pro headset, a new attempt at creating a next-gen computing platform, has been met with mixed reviews. The device, which aims to advance 'spatial computing', is packed with cutting-edge technology such as 3D cameras, hand and eye tracking, and a display that shows a simulacrum of the wearer's eyes.
  • The headset's display technology has been praised for its sharpness and color accuracy, making it suitable for reading text and watching movies. However, the field of view has been criticized for being smaller than that of rival devices, creating a 'binocular' effect.
  • Reviewers have noted the device's impressive hardware and immersive experience, with one reviewer describing watching multiple NBA games at once. However, the device's high price point and the lack of support from popular apps such as Netflix and Spotify have been highlighted as major drawbacks.
  • The Vision Pro's weight has also been a point of contention among reviewers, with some finding it uncomfortable for long periods of use. The device's external battery pack, which must be carried separately, has been described as 'annoying'.
  • Despite these criticisms, some reviewers have described the Vision Pro as the 'most innovative Apple product since the original iPhone' and 'the best wearable display' they've ever used. However, most agree that the device is still very much a first-generation product, with room for improvement.
