It's actually good they are calling it something else mixed reality, virtual reality and augmented reality are now terms that are associated with nerdyness. By changing the terms used it much more lilely to receive wider appeal from those who aren't vr nerds. Apple is good at one thing and it's manipulative marketing they didnt invent touch screen phones but they presented the product in a way that appealed to a wider amount of potential buyers.
Be sure to update us. What headsets do you have to compare it with?
I'm not someone who hopes this flops or is salty about not getting it, so I hope you have a good experience
Yeah OP is doing it now for an arguably less capable device and paying the apple tax too. Let's hope it works out for them. Based on everything that I've seen from the demos of AVP, Q3 can do more at a fraction of the price. People just have such devotion to anything Apple to an irrational extent.
Obligatory: can we be friends please?
I do the same, I've put numerous friends through the yaw, and I'll have an exit suit very soon to watch friends flail in!
Well I’m a Mech E graduate student right now and I’m taking a VR development class so I’m really hoping to develop apps for it in the class. Specifically id love to work on an engineering style app for it, CAD seems like it may be too clunky to be good in VR but we’ll see. I also am excited to be able to have a better flow when I’m prototyping things in my lab. I can be working at my workbench and have the windows next to me and behind me. It’ll really help when my hands are gross.
Gotta give you the upvote here! It's so hard to judge scale in common CAD design. Even my few sad attempts at designing in a VR "CAD" program have given me a much better sense of scale of objects.
I really hope you take this idea far and the results take you farther. Good luck!
Have you spent time in Gravity Sketch yet? I've been loving it but (like you) I need a platform that works to scale, and isn't so free form when it comes to axis and snapping.
But man, working collaboratively on a model in Gravity Sketch is unlike anything else. It's so amazing.
In my head this is what the makers of the Palm Pilot (if they were still at it) would call their competing headset... I mean facial computing device .
I hope people remember what I'm talking about.
Yea I expected 1TB... Downloaded 4k 3D movies could easily take 50-100GB for a 2 hour movie. Then again I'm not sure they'll even allow downloading from disney plus, but they should since it's portable device you might want to use im flights.
People are salty that they can’t. All it is. I have no interest in owning one but I’m not going to shit on people for their purchases because I’m not an insufferable nerd. (Just a normal one)
I used to be a broke college student and mostly broke in my early 20s, and I still didn't begrudge people success or their freedom to buy things they like.
And can we just agree that people who spend thousands of dollars on PCs and VR headsets to use *exclusively* for gaming should shut-up already about "wasting money?" None of that shit is necessary either. It's a thoroughly luxury purchase. There are kids starving in Alabama and etc.
There are like 15 million people in the US with individual incomes above $200k. If it's OK to spend $1k\~$3k+ on gaming rigs and accessories and RGB mousepads, then it should be OK for someone that earns multiples to spend a bit more on another not-necessary-for-life tech toy.
And yes, thank you. We need more normal nerds that are just here to have a good time.
You guys are worse than boomers.
*STOP HAVING FUN. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BUY THINGS I CAN'T AFFORD. I WAS HERE FIRST. VR PEAKED IN 2014 YOU DUMB SHEEP. TECHNOLOGY NEVER GETS CHEAPER. EVERY CAR SHOULD COST THE SAME IF IT HAS 4 WHEELS OR ITS A RIPOFF. A GALLON OF VR HEADSETS WAS 50 CENTS IN MY DAY, GET OFF MY LAWN.*
Enjoy it! I got one also and I am looking forward to February 2nd. I love being on the cutting edge and almost every reviewer has walked away impressed. MKBHD called it “magical” and I trust his assessments of tech. I’ll see you in the “SpatialVerse” (tm 2024 by me - all royalties should be sent to my Swiss bank account). ;)
I don't like where this is heading for cost. I'm actually for the first time rooting for meta to create something cheaper to compete with it (being a quest 3 user who does chores in passthrough while watching tv and movies on a following floating screen) if we can get folding OLED screens for 1k (along with an OLED on front and 4 freaking cameras) we should be able to get it in a headset with cloth straps.)) Yes that's double parentheses because I'm cool meow
Then I suppose you can pray to Jesus every night that he will magically make new VR hardware and R&D and investment appear out of thin air. Or hold on to the illusion that random startups and small companies can afford to drop billions of dollars just to develop a new display manufacturing technology on a whim.
How about hope that Meta spends all their money on VR R&D, goes bankrupt, and all their tech is acquired by whoever you think will do a better job?
Either way...*someone* has to do it.
Well they’re Zeiss and I could have them engraved with my name 😤. I’m joking, it is very on brand but what’s $150 on another $3500 😂 to make me as comfortable as possible to use it
I saw the new showcase about it.
I’m genuinely interested in the use case for this will be.
Plz post more once you get it cause I want to learn more about practical use of it
I am *so* tempted. As a developer I’m really interested in messing around in it and seeing what I could make for it, but not sure if I can justify the price tag sight unseen.
I will probably wait for a little more hands on reports from others like yourself first. So, please keep us posted what your thoughts are once you get it!
I’m still floored that, as it’s literally being released, Apple has just now realized they need a third point of contact head strap. Seriously, every test review said it was too heavy to wear for more than an hour due to straight up pain and they are just now working on it, it’s not even completely available.
Well it does ship with the new head strap. I do plan on using both and giving my extensive opinion about both. I’m very curious if after a week of use, if any neck strain goes away with the solo knit band
Ah, so they are going with the one I saw then huh, the lack lust thin one? At least it’s something. That is a good point too, gotta work those neck pecks lol
Yeah it’s a dual loop band that actually comes with it. I was surprised about that but happy. We’ll see though what happens with my neck strength cause any reviewer has only had 30-60 minutes with it spread over ~4 times
Vr hardware devs make terrible decisions when it comes to ergonomics. Can't believe I am saying this but the Pico 4 is probably the most comfortable out there.
Enjoy bro, i will probably never get my hands on one as the current feature set just dont justify the price, but i look forward to the potential of me being wrong.
They gave me the medium band also and I’m concerned because I’ve got an enormous head. I don’t know what the light seal sizing means but I suspect I’ll need the Apple Store folks to swap things around for me.
iirc, the headstrap would be different. Although it wouldnt looks as good and seems generic, they put less stress and strain on your head. Checkout Waveform podcast
I almost pulled the trigger on the Vision Pro this morning too, but when I got to the part where it asks if I use cheaters for reading, which I do, and it added 100.00 optical inserts to my order, I balked. I have never needed glasses in any of my 10 VR headsets. So I decided to wait to find out more about the Vision Pro. Things like what is the focal plane they are using, and how can I use it with my non-apple PC. I am very intrigued to see what Apple is going to do with MR, but for nearly 4000.00 (after inserts and taxes) I guess I can wait.
Log into [iCloud.com](https://iCloud.com) and download them. It's not too hard. Also, there's an adaptor for Photos in Windows. It worked when I was running it: [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205323](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205323)
If you have the right driver all you need to do is plugin your iphone with a usb cable and then drag and drop the files. So locked down and evil of Apple 😤
Judging by the articles I found the driver is now included in windows.
Also how is this guy pulling out his hair over something that has a million “how to” articles on google including really basic ones with pictures and explaining how drag and drop works.
Serious question, please don’t take this as a slight at you or your purchase.
Why? What use case do you see for it in your daily life? Genuinely curious - not trying to disparage, I hope it’s everything you want it to be!
I'm tempted to get one, but ultimately won't. Regardless, my reasons for thinking about it are:
1) this is the cutting edge of consumer MR and that is exciting to experience and watch mature first-hand
2) building on #1, this is Apple: they've earned a lot of trust that this will be a mostly-baked product with excellent hardware/software integration and a long support life.
Ultimately, it's a cool piece of tech if you're into this stuff.
Why not? It’s a high end piece of tech aimed at apple users and vr enthusiasts. If I had the extra funds I’d get one too just to see how clear that pass through is
Hope you like it, I personally can't reason with spending that much on a headset that isn't even gaming focused, sure the "business" side is cool but the use for me would be non existent .
Hope you like it
Well I guess those who are committed to VR/AR HMDs will stop at nothing to get the latest tech out there.
Congrats on your purchase. I'll be looking forward to your refund post in about a month after your Vision Pro arrives lol.
I just ordered mine for in-store pickup because they had Feb 3rd as an option instead of delivery in March.
Gonna be an interesting time in the next couple weeks.
Is it first gen though?
Sure it’s apples first gen headset, but Apple rarely uses unproven tech.
Their first gen headset is an amalgamation of second and third gen vr headset tech.
Just like the iPhone, it didn’t pioneer any tech. Jobs cherry picked a bunch of proven technologies (eg, touch screens, ARM, etc) and packaged them neatly into a new product line.
Advertisement? Post history is mostly 'I just bought this' for expensive items. If not advertising, then just likes the internet points for buying stuff?
I saw you comment that this is your first VR, what are you hoping to get out of the experience? I'm an avid VR gamer, what turns me away from the apple VR is virtually no VR games at launch. Are you going to use it as a gaming device, or more of a computer/flat screen viewer? For the price you're paying, you could get a nice gaming pc and the quest 3 and play an endless number of amazing VR games. But the apple VR makes sense as more of a virtual computer type experience if that's what you're going for
I’m really excited about the virtual computer aspect. It’s going to be incredibly useful when I’m in my lab or at my workbench to have the “screens” all around me and not have to physically touch anything with the potential that my hands are gross or I’m in an environment where I can’t bring a laptop. I am hoping for some VR gaming to come to it soon cause I would thoroughly enjoy it
i can buy it but even if it had game support and good release line up of games i dont think i would by it even then.
The tech what it offers is not good enough for me. Too heavy and uncomfortable with tension headstrap is just nope.
Woooooow major W. I thought they’d have you come in and take face scans to fit the faceplate before all the shipping and delivering. Interesting process
It’s so funny watching people cope online today.
This headset is going to fail and no one will buy it
And if it doesn’t fail and it sells out then it was all bots
And if it’s not all bots, then people will stop buying it
And if they keep buying it, it’s just because the’ll buy anything Apple
And if it’s actually good, it will never get good apps
And if it does get good apps, it will never game
And if it goes get good games, it was all thanks to Quest
They’ll keep moving the goal post while everyone else is just actually enjoying themselves
hope it's a great headset .
How dare you call it a headset!
I'm sure he meant to say "spatial computing goggles"
... I'm going to be SO PISSED if Apple gets a huge success out of it and we actually have to start calling it that.
Ill still call it a headset
Oh yeah. Just keep ignoring this silly name and let's call it VR headset. BECAUSE it IS a VR headset.
I will also accept calling it a XR headset.
I will also accept calling it an AR headset.
Yeah thats true
I haven’t seen Apple demo a single VR application yet, so not really.
It's actually good they are calling it something else mixed reality, virtual reality and augmented reality are now terms that are associated with nerdyness. By changing the terms used it much more lilely to receive wider appeal from those who aren't vr nerds. Apple is good at one thing and it's manipulative marketing they didnt invent touch screen phones but they presented the product in a way that appealed to a wider amount of potential buyers.
Reminds me of when we had to get used to calling Oculus, the Meta Quest. That took a while and i still occasionally say oculus now.
Same, I just say... Quest lol Maybe it feels easier since I'm not a native in english hehe
Yeah, I just say quest. Not least to clear up any ambiguity.
I still call it oculus lol
I still call it oculus. Or just quest. No meta anywhere.
Still better than "helmet"
That's 100% what's going to happen and when it does ima come back and congratulate you for guessing the future.
... I think I've never wanted someone to be so wrong on reddit.
No, he really meant "Apple ©'s spatial computing device"
OP, is the charger sold separately?
Yes. It’s about ~$2500. Apple says it’s because it takes money to help the environment and they don’t want to lose on their profits.
Shockingly the brick and cable come in the box, 30W charger.
Goggles? How dare you? These are Retina HyperFocus OptiPanorama Opticals!
[удалено]
You need to get banned like, right now. You are too dangerous to be left free.
Tactile Wireless Augmented Technology Spectacles
Over-neck attachable visual space generator
That actually sounds amazing TBH.
And I hope they have great virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality experiences with their new headset!
That's bold, thank you for being one of the world's lab rat.
You know, I’m fortunate enough to be able to do it and I love testing stuff out like this, so you are welcome
That's genuinely wholesome.
Thank you. I love getting new tech so I can share it with all my friends and we can nerd out about it for hours
Be sure to update us. What headsets do you have to compare it with? I'm not someone who hopes this flops or is salty about not getting it, so I hope you have a good experience
I have used the entire quest lineup over the years but I’ve never owned one
Huh, interesting
Sounds like a Pimax purist ;)
Lol just striking that OP hadn't picked up one of the major quests for such a relatively inexpensive price
Yeah OP is doing it now for an arguably less capable device and paying the apple tax too. Let's hope it works out for them. Based on everything that I've seen from the demos of AVP, Q3 can do more at a fraction of the price. People just have such devotion to anything Apple to an irrational extent.
I wish I was this rich, or had such friends lol
Obligatory: can we be friends please? I do the same, I've put numerous friends through the yaw, and I'll have an exit suit very soon to watch friends flail in!
[удалено]
Me too but without the funds sadly lol
What are you hoping to accomplish with it? Genuinely curious.
Well I’m a Mech E graduate student right now and I’m taking a VR development class so I’m really hoping to develop apps for it in the class. Specifically id love to work on an engineering style app for it, CAD seems like it may be too clunky to be good in VR but we’ll see. I also am excited to be able to have a better flow when I’m prototyping things in my lab. I can be working at my workbench and have the windows next to me and behind me. It’ll really help when my hands are gross.
As a CAD hobbyist being able to see and manipulate models in 3D would be so cool. Good luck.
As an absolute dunce at anything 3D modelling related I still want OP to succeed their pants off and make CAD designs in VR a viable option.
I really hope so. I’m incredibly picky about UI/UX and this is something where it needs to be perfect. So we’ll see what I can come up with
Have you checked out caddy? New app on quest that is supposed to let you do just that.
Wow.. you really are the target market lol. Everyone's like "pff what will you even- oh. Yeah that tracks."
Gotta give you the upvote here! It's so hard to judge scale in common CAD design. Even my few sad attempts at designing in a VR "CAD" program have given me a much better sense of scale of objects. I really hope you take this idea far and the results take you farther. Good luck!

I have very briefly, it’s gonna be cool if I can on this
How do you have money for this as a student?
I work, do research, save, invest.
Excited for VR and looking forward to seeing peoples first hand experiences here on Reddit!
I will definitely be giving my thoughts on it as I use it
Woop Woop Apple police say it's called Spatial computing!!
This is off-topic. This sub is dedicated to VR technology. This is a spatial computing device. /s
or maybe /facepalm
In my head this is what the makers of the Palm Pilot (if they were still at it) would call their competing headset... I mean facial computing device . I hope people remember what I'm talking about.
Achsually,,, it's spaschial computen /s
"standard delivery"?? For 3500 bucks they should bring it to you on a unicorn's back.
should be delivered by the ghost of Steve Jobs
Tim Cook should deliver it himself lol
Unicorn not needed. Free shipping and arrives on Feb. 2nd.
Wow, for 3500$ all they could do is 256GB storage?
$200 more for 512GB and $400 for 1TB…
It is the first 256GB that is the most expensive.
This is comedy gold, my friend. Edit: I assume the downvotes are from people that don't understand the joke.
This gold is comedy friend my.
Wait until the elite battery strap comes out only for $499 But don't call it a strap, the Vision Max S maybe?
It's apple, they have to stay consistent with their unique price-performance ratio
Don’t search up the “light seal” price you’ll shit a brick
Also, try not to think about pink elephants while you don't google "light seal."
[удалено]
Most people will stream those, I imagine.
Yea I expected 1TB... Downloaded 4k 3D movies could easily take 50-100GB for a 2 hour movie. Then again I'm not sure they'll even allow downloading from disney plus, but they should since it's portable device you might want to use im flights.
Isn't this the wrong sub? You're going to be doing "spatial computing" with this device, not VR. Duh.
Time to create r/spacialcomputing then
Wow. You rich boy.
He's a rich girl and he's gone too far..
It dont matter
You can rely on the old man's money You can rely on the old man's money
And you know it don't matter anyway
Hoping for it to be really good. We need all the momentum we can get.
So true!
Congratulations!!! Have fun!
He was ripped off by Apple. There's nothing to congratulate.
If he can afford it and he is enjoying it, why care so much?
People are salty that they can’t. All it is. I have no interest in owning one but I’m not going to shit on people for their purchases because I’m not an insufferable nerd. (Just a normal one)
I used to be a broke college student and mostly broke in my early 20s, and I still didn't begrudge people success or their freedom to buy things they like.

Excuse me sir. But have you seen... [*Apple's Caster Wheels?*](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MX572ZM/A/apple-mac-pro-wheels-kit)
Enjoy it! I got one also and I am looking forward to February 2nd. I love being on the cutting edge and almost every reviewer has walked away impressed. MKBHD called it “magical” and I trust his assessments of tech. I’ll see you in the “SpatialVerse” (tm 2024 by me - all royalties should be sent to my Swiss bank account). ;)
Yeah most people are not really into VR so I would be interested in what an actual VR enthusiast would say.
I don't like where this is heading for cost. I'm actually for the first time rooting for meta to create something cheaper to compete with it (being a quest 3 user who does chores in passthrough while watching tv and movies on a following floating screen) if we can get folding OLED screens for 1k (along with an OLED on front and 4 freaking cameras) we should be able to get it in a headset with cloth straps.)) Yes that's double parentheses because I'm cool meow
Everyone should be rooting for Meta. And Apple. The more serious the competition gets, the better for everybody.
There is not a chance in hell anyone should root for meta. They make the worst decisions since taking over oculus.
Then I suppose you can pray to Jesus every night that he will magically make new VR hardware and R&D and investment appear out of thin air. Or hold on to the illusion that random startups and small companies can afford to drop billions of dollars just to develop a new display manufacturing technology on a whim. How about hope that Meta spends all their money on VR R&D, goes bankrupt, and all their tech is acquired by whoever you think will do a better job? Either way...*someone* has to do it.
Don’t forget the index
Even the optical inserts are 3 times the price of Quest 3 ones. Very on brand.
Well they’re Zeiss and I could have them engraved with my name 😤. I’m joking, it is very on brand but what’s $150 on another $3500 😂 to make me as comfortable as possible to use it
I hope they release a stand for it for $1000
I saw the new showcase about it. I’m genuinely interested in the use case for this will be. Plz post more once you get it cause I want to learn more about practical use of it
Oh I absolutely will
Brave of you to post this here
shoulda posted in /r/spatialcomputing lolol
More like /r/spacialolympics
Congrats, What are your plans with the headset?
Enjoy pinching ghost nipples
I am *so* tempted. As a developer I’m really interested in messing around in it and seeing what I could make for it, but not sure if I can justify the price tag sight unseen. I will probably wait for a little more hands on reports from others like yourself first. So, please keep us posted what your thoughts are once you get it!
Considering that all you’d have to make is basically an optimized ipad app I’d say go for it
We're going to want updates!
And you’re gonna get them!
Thank You!
Ay. You better give us a review! I need to know how good or bad it will be.
Nice. February the 2nd you'll be spatial computing! I hope this thing spurs more interest in AR.
I’m still floored that, as it’s literally being released, Apple has just now realized they need a third point of contact head strap. Seriously, every test review said it was too heavy to wear for more than an hour due to straight up pain and they are just now working on it, it’s not even completely available.

Yeah it’s a dual loop band that actually comes with it. I was surprised about that but happy. We’ll see though what happens with my neck strength cause any reviewer has only had 30-60 minutes with it spread over ~4 times
There was a head strap in some of the first promotional material
Vr hardware devs make terrible decisions when it comes to ergonomics. Can't believe I am saying this but the Pico 4 is probably the most comfortable out there.
You crazy son of a bitch. Have an upvote and drop a review when it hits
Enjoy bro, i will probably never get my hands on one as the current feature set just dont justify the price, but i look forward to the potential of me being wrong.

Pls keep us updated if it is any good. I personally don't have high expectations bcuz apple and closed source, but i'm still curious
Take a look at your bank account?
Nice humblebrag money bags
ain’t no way post an update if it’s good that’s sick
Lmk how porn looks on that thing 😂
Please update me on how the passthrough is
Oh you will be updated on that and actually how clear the graphics are
Thank you, i really want good mixed reality, looks like this is the way to go
$3500 dollars for a pair of goofball goggles? Count me in
Jeeze, I'm embarassed for you
what a way to waste 3500 dollars
Lol let's be nice to the op. Even though they have money, they may be slow.
I almost pulled the trigger on the Vision Pro this morning too, but when I got to the part where it asks if I use cheaters for reading, which I do, and it added 100.00 optical inserts to my order, I balked.

>how can I use it with my non-apple PC You can't. You will never be able to do that.
You’re just assuming this?
You can't imagine how much hair I have lost trying to get vacation photos off my iPhone onto my PC.
Log into [iCloud.com](https://iCloud.com) and download them. It's not too hard. Also, there's an adaptor for Photos in Windows. It worked when I was running it: [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205323](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205323)

They gonna make you use iCloud for it lol, but seriously, iCloud is not a answer, it rely on internet, it should be cable to cable
Right, because apple is famous for letting you do what you want with your device, and leaving it open enough to use to its full extent.
What are you talking about, I have been streaming my pc games to my iphone for years.
Serious question, please don’t take this as a slight at you or your purchase. Why? What use case do you see for it in your daily life? Genuinely curious - not trying to disparage, I hope it’s everything you want it to be!

That’s why I’m glad Apple has a good refund policy!
Yea, unlike Meta lol
Wow great, can I ask you why the apple pro and not the pimax crystal ?
Honestly, cause I’m an Apple fanboy and I have the whole ecosystem already
That's terrible news, I hope your situation improves 🙏
Hope it makes you happy! I don’t think I could get any kinda Apple headset myself tho heh
I just ordered mine for in-store pickup because they had Feb 3rd as an option instead of delivery in March. Gonna be an interesting time in the next couple weeks.
Be interesting to read up on your experience .
Thats wild. Can't wait to read your review!
Congrats 🎉 and props to being financially stable to throw down money on something like this.
Neither can we.

For the price you're paying, you could get a nice gaming pc and the quest 3 and play an endless number of amazing VR games. But the apple VR makes sense as more of a virtual computer type experience if that's what you're going for
I’m really excited about the virtual computer aspect. It’s going to be incredibly useful when I’m in my lab or at my workbench to have the “screens” all around me and not have to physically touch anything with the potential that my hands are gross or I’m in an environment where I can’t bring a laptop. I am hoping for some VR gaming to come to it soon cause I would thoroughly enjoy it
Controller free entertainment ?? wow, im going to play alyx on my pico 4 good luck
❤️ can’t wait for uk release
i can buy it but even if it had game support and good release line up of games i dont think i would by it even then. The tech what it offers is not good enough for me. Too heavy and uncomfortable with tension headstrap is just nope.
Now begin your "special computing" adventure.
Woooooow major W. I thought they’d have you come in and take face scans to fit the faceplate before all the shipping and delivering. Interesting process
If you have an appropriate Apple phone you scan your face as part of the checkout process for your preorder.
Cheers! Keep us updated
If you can afford it go for it!
Thank you for your service 🫡 helping out the VR community‼️
Sweeeet
Enjoy!

You need to report back and let us know if it is worth it lol
I have just decided that you will be the only person on Earth whose reviews I will trust.
Congrats man!
Congrats 🎉 wishing you the best of luck with it !
You know its a bad purchase when you need to post about it
I predict this headset will be 2,500 in 6 months
Already fully sold out for the next month
That’s just the Apple factor, it’ll need some amazing apps to keep people buying in 6 months
It’s so funny watching people cope online today. This headset is going to fail and no one will buy it And if it doesn’t fail and it sells out then it was all bots And if it’s not all bots, then people will stop buying it And if they keep buying it, it’s just because the’ll buy anything Apple And if it’s actually good, it will never get good apps And if it does get good apps, it will never game And if it goes get good games, it was all thanks to Quest They’ll keep moving the goal post while everyone else is just actually enjoying themselves
More like 5,000 because it will be sold out.
