Episode 209: Hands on with Apple Vision Pro

David and Donna share their full report after working for a week with Apple’s new AR headset. From controlling the OS with your eyes, to capturing 3D video, to making an avatar that looks uncannily like you, learn the promise and the problems with the Apple Vision Pro. Other topics include the new 15-inch M3 MacBook Air, password management tips, and using iOS 17 to diagnose car trouble. To see the full show notes for the episode, visit iPhoneLife.com/Podcast.

O, and as a side note, ever since I started playing games in VR I’ve not used my Xbox and it’s been like 7 years… yes is VR incredible for games for a few hours at a time, but when the weights of these devices drop .. big time game changer for spatial devices..

Great show. As you know a “gate” scandal is created with every Apple release lately. The AVP’s was the “weight”. It’s really important to stress to your audience the necessity for users to get the CORRECT light shield, lenses and head strap for their face or the experience will be a miserable one. I suspect this one was ordered to David’s specs. Once people wrap their heads around no longer needing to work using just a flat, two-dimensional screen this thing will transform computing. Dismantling a life size, interactive model in front of you while watching the kids is so much richer than looking at a video demonstration on your computer. You should consider how you can incorporate AVP use cases in your own training. Just like iPhone spatial photos, it’s regular training videos until someone with an AVP can unlock another dimension of training.

The Vision Pro is cool!! But don’t say the Quest3 is for kids because YOU don’t really play games!! I’m 53 years old and play a certain couple games on my Quest3 nearly everyday .. there’s NOTHING gimmicky about playing games in VR. Stop it with that stuff. But yes, the Vision Pro is cool!
