Last year at WWDC 2023, Apple Vision Pro was revealed. However, it was still unavailable to the public until February 2024. I recently had an opportunity to try out Apple Vision Pro at my local Apple Store. Today, I would like to talk about what it was like to use Apple Vision Pro.
Unfortunately, the only way to try out Apple Vision Pro is to schedule a demo when you go to an Apple Store, or you can schedule one online.
Trying out Apple Vision Pro was only my second time using virtual reality, so I may be more biased. Overall, I would say the demo lasted about 25 minutes to try out viewing photos & videos, 3D environments, web browsing, and trying out what watching 3D movies would be like.
When I first put on the Apple Vision Pro, navigating it was easier than I expected it to be. It felt natural. The controls were pretty basic, for example, to select something, look at a button and tap your thumb & index finger together. Something I also happened to notice was that some of what I was viewing was slightly blurry, I think this may have been because I didn't set it up properly.
Viewing pictures on Apple Vision Pro was fun, but viewing panoramas was especially cool. The entire picture surrounded me and I could see the panorama in studding detail. Viewing 3D photos & videos was also cool, however they were a tad bit off from how you would view those moments in real life.
Using Safari on Apple Vision Pro was a more basic part of the Vision Pro experience. It was nice to be able to view a website in my space, but pretty much no websites are in 3D.
One of my favorite features I had the opportunity to try was environments. These allow you to transform your physical surroundings into a different place such as the moon. Using environments was a really enjoyable immersive experience. The amount of detail of the environments was really high, but it was a tad bit off from what the real life place would probably look like. The environment I got to try was Mount Hood. Something I noticed was that when no apps were open in the foreground, the sound of water was audible.
The final aspect of Apple Vision Pro I got to try out during my short demo was 3D movies. I got to see a 3D trailer of the new Mario movie. I also got to see a demo video of capabilities of Apple's 3D content such as viewing wildlife & nature, which was extremely fascinating to see.
The Apple Vision Pro was on display in the front of the store, so I got some pictures. During the demo, I was unable to get pictures of the small screens. The employee doing the demo also had an iPad to see what I was seeing on the Vision Pro. However, I was unable to get images of this either because it was "for demo purposes only."
Although I enjoyed my experience using Apple Vision Pro, I will not be buying one because a lot of first generation Apple products tend to have some big issues. But it’s more because I don’t have $3,500. To wrap this article up, I would highly recommend trying out the Apple Vision Pro at your local Apple Store. I truly believe that virtual reality is part of our future. Apple is pushing VR forward similar to how they pushed forward smartphones with the launch of iPhone in 2007.
