Great video and great points. If the Vision Pro delivers on experience, then it is a much much more cost effective option than a top end projector/HT setup
To your family point...the SharePlay option seems to be the solution to this. You can start a shareplay movie that will play on both the VP and the Apple TV at the same time.
I’m absolutely getting one for the exact reasons you said. I’m just going to wait for the second generation. I also want this for exercise. Imagine being in a stationary bike or on a treadmill looking at beautiful scenery going by instead of staring at a wall or mirror. Headsets can most likely do it now, but the visual fidelity and resolution just isn’t there enough to sell it more! The one other reason I want this device that a lot of people aren’t talking about enough is live events! I’m talking space rocket launches. Space walks from space, sporting events, concerts, etc. keep in mind that Apple is sponsoring the Super Bowl half time show on feb 11th. Don’t be surprised if they launch that with being live from the SB in AVP!
I have watched a concert in vr on the quest 3. It was like I was really there. This experience was unlike anything I could have on any 2d screen. With the vision pro's next level visuals. I imagine an even more breath taking experience.
First, I want to say thank you for your video. It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone actually do a tech video as opposed to overly sensational hyped price video. I love your thinking when it comes to thinking outside of the box like the comic book thing. I never even thought of doing that. I do believe this headset would 100% change the Outlook on entertainment. I run a couple tech companies, and my business is mobile. One of the things that always hampers me is I always want a larger screen that’s a more portable. This fits into my life perfectly. I am also a gamer, so I am looking forward to gaming on mine. I purchased the 512. Almost all of these other Asa tech RU-vidrs aren’t thinking outside of the box when it comes to the things you are able to do with this headset. I heard a lot of the RU-vidr talk about not being able to game on it, which made me think something else. I don’t think are used to thinking past the marketing . For example so many RU-vidrs say that they’re not going to wear the headset at a birthday party to take spatial photos and spatial video… and they just leave it at that. They don’t think about visiting a national park or a monument or just any other place on the planet and having that as a spatial video or photo. Apple showed a father and their kids at a birthday party and that’s as far as they can think. Apple showed one scene of someone playing a video game with a PlayStation five controller., and now they think that there’s no gaming on the headset. So I’m glad you’re touching on all these topics. I am very interested in using the remote play app, and if there is no visual lag, that’s going to be amazing. Unfortunately I think it only streams at 1080p. So we’re not gonna get the ultra crispy graphics like we do through HDMI. Which leads me to the biggest problem with all of these portable headsets… there is no HDMI in. so playing the Nintendo switch/Xbox/PlayStation is either not going to be available like with the switch, or it’s going to be at a lesser resolution like with the Xbox and PlayStation. This is getting a little long-winded but thanks again for your awesome video, and I am subscribing !
Can't wait to hear your feedback on the Vision Pro. From what I've read, the AirPods Pro Gen 2 headphones is a good match for the Vision Pro. The AirPods Pro Gen 2 supports noise cancelling and from what I read is the only headphones that supports lossless audio with the Vision Pro. Plus, the headphone is great for iPhone, iPad, and even Apple TV use. Works great for late night viewing on an Apple TV if I don't want to disturb family members.
Looking forward to your thoughts on Home Theater use. Having just moved into a new home that doesn’t have a good space for a dedicated theater, we gave up our 150 scope screen and NZ9 which is missed. Fortunately we brought our 83” Sony OLED with us and have a 7.3.4 Atmos in our living room. But TV’s just cant replicate the scale of a big screen, yet. If these mini Sony OLED screens in the AVP are as good as early indications say, this could certainly be a game changer technology for home theater enthusiasts. Especially if we can link to the Apple TV4K to gain access to our primary AV setup with SharePlay. All finders crossed! We ordered two for our family to test along with possible business applications. Good luck and great channel!
You have the exact use case and setup I'm envisioning where the Vision could be insanely great! If it is too good, I wonder if it will have me de-investing in my own theater room...
It’s a good question but I’ll be surprised if it does for you right away. The overall experience of a 160+” scope screen in your theater is going to be hard to beat! It will certainly be a big change (and hopefully a fun one) in the way we are accustomed to watching movies. Connecting to an external AVR will be essential imo, no matter how great the Spatial Audio is. Although that will be great for watching loud movies late. Early reports from the AVP developers indicate that you should be able to simulcast to an Apple TV. Hopefully without limitations.
"Early reports from the AVP developers indicate that you should be able to simulcast to an Apple TV." This is the absolutely critical feature, and I think it work well with the SharePlay upgrade to support Atmos in tvOS 17.
Best Buy sells a samsung 98 inch tv for $8000, down to $6000 currently. This can do a much larger screen. LG has two 98 inch oled TVs for $25k, and $30k. The Vision Pro will give me a much larger oled screen, at just as high or higher of a resolution, for a fraction of the cost of smaller oled TVs.
prepare to be transported to the actual location of an event instead of watching a picture of it, like you have on a computer screen. VR (I mean Spatial Computing) can be really incredible. Especially the VR180 format, when done well, can be very compelling, even more so than 3d movies. You're in for a blast :)
I’m excited to hear your findings. Your interested in the exact same things as me in this product. I’ve have been wanting to change from a tv to a projector but I am nervous leaving the strengths of OLED behind. This could be an interesting combination of both the strengths of projection and OLED as you said.
If this thing is insanely great, it could really risk possibly killing my theater room for this very reason. You can just enjoy your living room, maximize its performance for Vision Pro off use, but then slap the Pro for on for massive immersive movie time.
Yes, that is exactly what Apple needed to do with it. Allow high fidelity audio to feed through an Apple TV to your audio system via SharePlay and also to sync playback on multiple Vision Pro in the same room as well.
Yeah so having big screen vr and quest 3 watching movie is amazing in vr on large theater size screen. It’s truly amazing. The only issue is wearing the headsets for long times. So I’m hoping we get much better after market straps. On 3D video ppl will be blown away how amazing 3D movies are in vr. It’s almost like it was meant for vr. Excited the rest of the world will now get to see what it’s like. Because I’ve been screaming for years 3D movies in vr is AMAZING!
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I don’t no. There is trade off’s. Like for example to get true HDR you need 1000-2000 nits. And OLED tv can’t do that yet. Even on Apple headset they use micro oled that can do 5000nit but because the they pancake lenses you loose almost all that light due to how pancake lenses work. And you will only get 200nits to your eye
No wonder people opted for pickup. I rushed to pre-order after forgetting that it went on sale and didn’t research the difference first. Here’s hoping it fits. If not, maybe I can get an appointment for a fit.
Hopefully it will be on sale outside of the US sooner rather than later, main use for me would be entertainment, mainly movies, will be looking forward to hearing your fair reviews on the device as its a lot of money when I may not use 60% of what it does
I also have a 5.1 home theatre with a A/V receiver hooked up to an Apple TV. I really hope they allow the Vision Pro to sync with Apple TV so you can still enjoy the audio from your home theatre. No way will those small built in speakers match the experience of a surround sound system.
So well put ~ ! great video. I am excited for two main things - productivity apps and second, content consumption. if it can do exactly what the demos show, its well worth the price
If you haven't used head mounted displays much before they pretty much all have one overriding attribute, they're heavy and uncomfortable. The Vision Pro weighs 600 to 650gms which is on the heavy side for headsets and it's on the front of your face.
Yes comfort is the no.1 issue that all headsets have to solve first. No matter how good the screens are if you can't wear it for at least 2 hours comfortably its a fail.
Hey bro, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this! So excited as to what the VisionPro will lead to. Can't wait to see how iTunes video will develop from this for the Apple TV 4K :)
I think video will look great, but you’re not going to get close to 4K, even with having near 4K displays per eye, the resolution of the virtual screen is lower since a lot of that 4K per eye is wasted on the surrounding environment and binocular overlap. Will be interesting to see how good it actually looks.
I feel the AVM 90 had a net positive effect in the audio quality of my room. Whether it is worth so much more though really depends if you can spend that money without missing it.
I live in a condo and I am limited to a 77 inch tv because of the space but Im on the fence about the Vision Pro. Cant wait for you review since I definitely would love to be inside a movie or series or at least be in front of an Imax size screen. My biggest wonder is the sound since I have a 7.2.2 sound system and if I can use my sound system with this it would be epic
You have the perfect use case for this if it in fact great for movies and it can send its audio to your existing sound system through an Apple TV. Use your system as is most of the time, then go Vision Pro on for massive movie viewing.
Nice future dream, but! ... I see two problems for this first Gen Apple Vision Pro for your ideas (there are a lot more, but these are the most relevant), 1) A heavy thing on your face (pushing it down) for 2 or 3 hours movies?, 2) It's absolutely not the same feeling to watch a 4K projector 120" image size at let's say 2 or 3 meters distance from your eyes (it's just like a paint, no pixels, no "electronic" image feeling), than watching a 4K image in a very small displays at may be 3 inches distance from your eyes? simulating a 120" screen size, sorry, no matter what you do, there is not way to get enough resolution from those tiny displays yet, to get about 64 PPD (Pixels Per Degree) that eyes need to just not see any pixel on the displays, still be present a feeling of "electronic" image in front of your eyes. But for me, the top problem still being how comfortable it is, the weight problem it's huge.
Interesting is it possible to set video to “Vision Po” and have sound coming out of your home theatre, so you can sit on your couch enjoy your video and audio at the same time
@@Techthusiasm if they didn’t, it’s big screw up! If they integrate share play with apple Tv like you’ve said it’s winner. I always try to avoid first generation products, same as I avoided first gen iphone and went with iphone 3G 😁
I want to know if it'll be possible to connect the Apple Vision Pro to a 4K Blu-ray player via HDMI so I can enjoy my 3D Blu-ray movie collection. It would be so stupid to have to re-buy 3D movies directly from Apple via iTunes.
I don't believe there is any provision for HDMI connectivity. So, content will be streamed in through apps. I understand Apple, D+, and others are working on specially formatting content for AVP. We'll see!
Looking forward to your review. That said we have tried glasses and goggles in the past. Looking at the past most people do not want to have something strapped to their head be it glasses (3D) or VR. I don’t see there being a mass market for this. Its been tried. We shall see.
cool. i currently have a 150in screen since 2000. but now that both kids are in college and i watch movies by myself, instead of upgrading my 1080p epson projector, im thinking of getting the apple vision pro for movies. how do u get the same experience using the Vision Pro with external surround sound speakers?
Using external speakers/audio system while Vision Pro does the video doesn't currently work as we would want it to for home theater. I'm hoping that gets changed very quickly.
Thanks for the great video. I have used a $4k tv budget I saved over years for Vision Pro. And in 2 years will get second gen model for Sweetie. It’s a weird and wonderful cinematic future. That said, coincidentally I saw you mention your comics collection. I have never read them , but MANY years ago (about 1982) I decided to collect comics for a couple years. I bought Amazing Fantasy 15 for $275 in Very Fine condition. Sadly in high school I had a sociopath friend who stole the comic from my car and months later even burglarized my mom’s house. We got back the burglary stuff. But never the comics. So I do have a Sony Betamax , but no longer have: Amazing Fantasy #15, Spiderman#2 and Daredevil #1. BUT I still DO have my Howard the Duck Comics. Thanks again for video. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏️ & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]
@@Techthusiasm Out of curiosity, what is the general value of AF#15 in very fine condition? - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏 & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]

I have to imagine, yes, that you can download content to the device to take the set for travel and such, much like you can download to an iPhone or iPad for offline, mobile use.
I see a couple of issues you kind of touched on. 1. The weight:Can you comfortably wear it for 2hrs or more especially if you wear glasses as I do? 2.What if friends and family or over and now you have your family and possibly 5 or more people to watch a Movie? You’ll need 10pr of goggles,at least.😢 I won’t have a problem because I’m by myself and never have company! I could add the Audio and gaming drawbacks but you talked about that. Apple definitely didn’t have family and friends in mind when they made the unit and set the price!💯👴🏽
Apple definitely wasn’t intending on this being a shareable experience and they don’t want people wearing their prescription glasses with the device; they will supply (at an additional cost) custom frames for those who need it. You will be able to AirPlay what your seeing to other devices but I think the device is designed to be a personal computer and they want to give time for developers to make really good apps on it before they make it family-friendly and more affordable.
I'm curious if someone gets the prescription lenses, can they be easily removed and inserted depending on whether someone has their contact lenses on or not?
FOR EVER..... I have wanted to watch a 3D movie without the gimmick of having to wear a pair of sunglasses (basically). With the amount of engineering dollars apple has to spend on this(if they wanted to), has me excited! Please don't screw this up apple!!! I want this product to be GREAT!
many of the dreams you are talking about, the quest 3 can already do at 50% of the vision pros resolution at 1/7 of the cost. hope apple is able to bring others into vr and mixed reality though.
