Apple presented its long-awaited VR glasses on June 5. In this article you can read the very first Vision Pro user experiences.
Vision Pro user experiences
The Apple Vision Pro are highly advanced VR glasses with no less than twelve cameras and two 4K micro-LED screens that together account for no less than 23 million pixels. This makes the image very sharp and bright. The Apple Vision Pro will be released next year and will then be on sale for a price of $ 3499.
After the presentation on Monday 5 June, a select group was able to try out the VR glasses immediately. We have collected the first Vision Pro user experiences of these lucky guys for you.

It really is a very nice VR headset with incredibly impressive screens with adjustable transparency. Moreover, there is no latency at all (delay in the image). Latency is the reason that many people get sick after a while, but this is not the case with the Vision Pro at all.
I could just use my iPhone to take notes while wearing the Vision Pro. You can’t do that with any other headset. It really is a VR headset, including the adjustable headbands that messed up my hair. The Vision Pro looks like a headset, but it also feels and behaves like one. If you’ve ever used a Meta Quest, imagine the best Meta Quest possible with an operating system very similar to iPadOS.

I experienced incredible video fidelity and a very smooth interface. Apple’s compact, but still not small, headset reminds me of an Apple-designed Meta Quest Pro.
I couldn’t wear my glasses during the demo, but Apple managed to find lenses that matched my vision well enough for everything to look crystal clear. We also adjusted the fit and tuned the spatial audio to my head, a process that will be refined even further when the headset hits the market in 2024. I did most of my demos sitting down and I was immediately surprised. The combination of the video quality and the transparency is really very good.

The Vision Pro is the best mixed reality experience I’ve had to date. Still, it’s still a VR headset in the end. The Vision Pro cannot be used with glasses, but you can order additional lenses.
I learned some gestures and soon felt like Tom Cruise in Minority Report. It’s very intuitive. I don’t think anyone will have any trouble using the Vision Pro. The dual 4K micro-OLED screens look incredibly sharp. And 3D videos are incredibly lifelike, almost like replaying a perfectly captured memory.

After a demo of about 30 minutes, I’m convinced that Apple has made a real leap forward with the Vision Pro, even if not everything is perfect. The hardware is very, very good – with 24 million pixels on two panels.
On first use, the eye relief is automatically calibrated so that the lenses are set to the center of your eyes. There are no manual wheels to adjust that. Text in the Vision Pro is super sharp and legible at all sizes and at great ‘distances’ within your space.
The hand gestures are picked up all around the headset and almost everything you look at is accurately highlighted. The real-time 4K image in the world around you works fantastic. The digital version of yourself in FaceTime calls also works very well and I have not experienced it as scary.

Price of the Vision Pro
The Apple Vision Pro comes with a hefty price tag. This is mainly due to the many advanced technology it contains. The glasses will be available in the United States in 2024 for a whopping $3,499. The rest of the world will have to wait a little longer.
