1. The Verge: Wearing comfort influences the experience
Victoria Song from The Verge writes in her review that she was amazed by the virtual world of the Vision Pro during the demo. According to her, it takes a while to understand how to operate the headset, but you will develop that feeling after a while. According to Song, with the Vision Pro you enter a completely different world, without leaving your home or even your couch.
In her review she also mentions an important disadvantage of the Vision Pro. The headset is on the heavy side, which will bother you if you wear the Vision Pro for longer. The demo lasted half an hour, after which she developed a headache due to the weight of the headset. She was very enthusiastic about the functions of the Vision Pro, but it is not a device that you want to wear for long periods of time in your daily life.
2. Engadget: impressive images in visionOS
The problem with the wearing comfort of the Vision Pro can also be seen in Engadget’s review. In the beginning you will have to find out which way you can best wear the headset, you have several options for this at Apple. For example, you can choose between a single or a double band with the Vision Pro, with the second in particular providing a better distribution according to the reviewers from Engadget.
Engadget’s review also discusses the Vision Pro’s software. The spatial videos were especially impressive, where, according to the reviewers, you feel as if you are really present in the moment. Typing with the floating keyboard is not very pleasant in visionOS, which is why the Vision Pro is mainly described as an excellent home theater in the review. Watching movies on Disney Plus was extremely impressive.
