Apple Vision Pro: The First Reviews Are In

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 31, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Apple Vision Pro has landed in the hands of the first reviewers
It receives more or less positive reviews, but the criticism is relentless
The device is large, heavy, has poor durability and, of course, an extreme price

Tonight, the first reviews of the Apple Vision Pro headset appeared on the Internet, which the American company has been offering for pre-sale since January 19 and will go on sale this Friday. Several journalists and influencers from the US, who had the opportunity to try the device first, released their evaluations to the world. How did it all turn out?

Vision Pro – heavy and large headset

In the US, which is the only market where the Vision Pro is available so far, there are about 10 reviews. Everyone agrees that the Vision Pro is a heavy machine. The weight around 600-650 grams is plenty to wear this device on your head all day.

It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the package includes an external battery, which Apple did not want to have inside the device. This may have reduced its weight, but it is still heavier than the competition from Meta, which offers a built-in battery. And last but not least, endurance is also a problem, because the Vision Pro can run for about 2-2.5 hours on the battery.

Displays and display quality

Content display quality in visionOS is a big topic. Although Apple has invested in maximum quality displays (11.5 million pixels per eye), the displayed content is degraded by raster and blurring on the sides. In addition, the edges of the viewing window are visible to the eye, so at times you feel as if you are looking through a telescope.

This phenomenon is best shown in the review The Verge. The review team designed several shots on the computer that simulate space blur, motion latency, and depth of field as if you were wearing Vision Pro. “Apple charges $3,499 for this product and claims it ‘perfectly simulates reality.’ But it is precisely in this that the excessive ambition of the manufacturer, which surpasses even the product itself, can be felt the most.” reports The Verge.

However, all agree that the real quality can be seen when you look, as it were, through Vision Pro. The sensors can film everything in front of the headset and thus simulate the view with your own eyes, as if you had nothing in sight at all. Then, on the contrary, the latency is very low and the image quality is excellent. Joanna Stern of The Wall Street Journal she even skied or cooked with glasses.

What is Vision Pro actually for?

This is the question that all reviewers try to figure out. Unfortunately, most of them agree that the visionOS system is still empty and the only thing you can really actively do with the Vision Pro is office work and watching movies.

But both have their catch. A MacBook and an external keyboard are ideal for your work, which can inflate your budget by several tens of thousands of crowns. Then again, there’s the crappy stamina, so you’ll have to sit close to an outlet anyway.

Watching movies with the Vision Pro is fun, and none of the testers complained of severe eye pain or dizziness. However, this is where the scythe hits a rock in the availability of apps. In the US market, it already has its visionOS application Apple TV+, Disney+ and Paramount+. Not the much more popular Netflix or YouTube.

Personas – Your terrifying alter ego

At the end of the summary of overseas reviews, we kept something that almost everyone complains about. If you want to make video calls with the headset, you need to create your own avatar. Just take the Vision Pro in your hand, point the sensors at yourself and perform a few scans.

However, the resulting quality of your virtual self is more reminiscent of the first generation of Midjourney images than a sophisticated moving avatar with a user’s face. It almost looks like the old familiar Memoji will do a better service in this regard. See for yourself.

Despite all the criticisms, Apple Vision Pro impressed the vast majority of reviewers as something new and largely unheard of – even though AR headsets have been around for quite a few years. The first reviews agree that as a de facto zero generation it is as expected. The biggest problem is probably the price, which greatly narrows the target group.

7 Things You Should Know Before Pre-Ordering Apple Vision Pro from the United States

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 21, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

‘Apple Vision Pro’, the new world-changing gadget that many people have been waiting for, is now open for pre-order on Friday, January 19th, for customers in the United States. Prices start at around ‘120,000 baht’, but before you take the first step towards experiencing the next generation of technology, PC Mag has compiled 7 things you should know for those preparing to order Vision Pro on the famous Apple website. The following

1) Where can I order Vision Pro?

Apple Vision Pro is now available for pre-order on Apple’s website, starting in the United States first. There are options to choose from as follows:

2) Not just ‘VR glasses’

Even though the appearance is similar to VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, the concept is to block the view of the outside world. Taking us to a virtual world, Apple chose to use the term ‘Spatial Computing’ devices, or devices that do not display on a square screen. But it’s the empty space around us. And if we dig into the technical details, Vision Pro is considered a Mixed Reality device that mixes both VR and AR together (AR – Augmented Reality is the overlay of the virtual world on the real world like Pokemon Go).

Vision Pro isn’t the first to release glasses like this. Market leader Meta has both the Meta Pro and Meta Quest 3, which are already on the market. There are also both pure VR glasses and AR glasses on the market. It remains to be seen whether the arrival of Vision Pro will change the user experience. Or break the barrier to make a product in a specific group like this become the glasses that everyone loves. How would you like to wear it?

3) Not born to be worn outside.

Even though Vision Pro is said to be able to show us our surroundings, it’s not so good that we can actually walk around in it. Dangers can range from hitting the edge of a table or bed to being hit by a car. Plus the battery lasts no more than 2.5 hours. If you don’t use it for a long time, you may have to put it in your bag or plug it in to charge.

4) Use ‘hands’ instead of joysticks

Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, Apple has preached that the ultimate control device is our finger, and that’s true of the Vision Pro. or joystick like others, Vision Pro relies solely on the user’s ‘hand’, tracking eye movements. Along with voice commands only to command, which has been a new gesture since the launch of Vision Pro is the ‘pinch’ gesture, which in the latest version of WatchOS of the Apple Watch has added this gesture as well. Who? Those who have an Apple Watch can try doing this pose to get used to it first.

On the body of the Apple Vision Pro, there’s only one button, the ‘Digital Crown’ like on the Apple Watch, which lets you scroll up and down. And you can also connect a mouse. or keyboard for gestures you might be more familiar with.

5) Developed on macOS and iOS.

Even though Vision Pro’s operating system is a new operating system named visionOS, it will have familiar functionality because it was developed on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, but is enhanced with 3D functionality (different from the look of iOS and WatchOS has a very different way of thinking and using it), making the appearance of the applications different to what Apple fans are familiar with, with many important apps installed on the device such as Apple TV, FaceTime, Messages, Mail. , Photos, Safari, Apple Arcade, but apps from other companies It may still be in the development stage and cannot be loaded for use yet. There’s just no app. One of them is Disney+ which has been confirmed to be available on the Vision Pro.

6) Watch in full view with a mobile movie theater.

Vision Pro comes with a library of Apple TV movies and series, so you can take your giant movie theater with you wherever you go. You can also watch quality content from famous streaming players such as SPN, NBA, MLB, PGA Tour, Max, Discovery+, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, Pluto TV, Tubi, Fubo, Crunchyroll, Red Bull. TV, IMAX, TikTok, and Mubi, not only that. Movies that are shot in 3D will be able to be watched with Vision Pro without having to pay extra. And you don’t have to wear 3D glasses, you just have to spare some batteries.

7) Fast and powerful like an iPad Pro

In addition to the high-quality cameras, sensors, and screens packed into Vision Pro, the chip that is like the brain of Vision Pro also has ‘M2’ that handles application processing and the visionOS system, with a new chip like R1 coming. Specially handles the creation of groundbreaking images and the R2 chip to manage the camera. and various sensors, which will allow the Vision Pro to process smoothly, just like a Macbook that uses the same chip like the Macbook Air 2023 and Macbook Pro 2022. No need to worry about lag.

For fans who want to carry the Vision Pro from the United States, you may need to study the details carefully. The Mac Rumors website reveals that the points you need to understand when using the Vision Pro coming from the United States are as follows:

Only English (US) is supported including Typing, Siri and Dictation initially.
The App Store is only available for Apple IDs whose regional location is the United States.
Apple Music and TV purchases require an Apple ID with the region set to the United States.
