I say almost because, even though each Micro-OLED display has a 4K resolution and the pixel density is high enough that you don’t see a “ screen-door effect,” if you really look in the right places - like around the edges of someone’s hair or clothes - you can see the lightest of color fringing. Using 12 cameras and five sensors - powered by the R1 chip - the Vision Pro creates a “passthrough” view of the real world that almost looks as a good as reality. As something you wear on your face, comfort is incredibly important. It’s no easy feat, but Apple really nailed the comfort with the Vision Pro. That could, of course, be because Apple’s demo room was well air-conditioned and the fact that I wasn’t aggressively moving around like I would in a round of Beat Saber on a Quest headset. I dig the orange accents inside of the head band. Overall, I’m impressed with the hardware. Since I was wearing the Vision Pro, there was no way to see my eyes (with “EyeSight”) on the outer display. Good thing they’re modular so users will have options. A different light seal that fit more snug might have provided a tighter seal. I had to push the Vision Pro up a few times to keep it from sliding off my face, but only because I had moved my head around more than usual. I have no idea how I looked and I didn’t care because the $3,500 device strapped to my face felt good and secure for the most part. In my demo, I tried the headset with an additional top band. The 3D-knitted material tightens and loosens with the turn of the “Fit Dial” on the right. The head band is the sleekest one I’ve ever seen on a headset. It’s like a $6,000 Leica Q3, not a $600 Sony camera. It’s not something you’re going to handle without care you’ll feel its expensive custom components and materials every time you pick it up. are housed underneath its shiny finish. All of the computer parts - the cameras and sensors, M2 and R1 chips, outward and inward displays, cooling system, etc. The “singular piece of three-dimensionally formed laminated glass” is a sight to see and feel. Even if you’ve seen it from every angle in pictures, the materials come to life in person. It’s more compact and heavier than it appears online Apple hasn’t shared official specs or dimensions yet so anything can change between now and early 2024 when it launches.

Combined with the high-resolution visuals - virtual and color passthrough from the two 4K displays - the Vision Pro makes a strong impression that augmented reality with convincing depth really is the next step up in computing. It’s extremely accurate and responsive inputs that require little to no thought to navigate and control apps and experiences within the Vision Pro’s visionOS. This is not the janky and stuttery eye and hand-tracking found on the Oculus Quest Pro. The mouse made the Mac, the click wheel made the iPod, the capacitive touchscreen made the iPhone and iPad, and for the Apple Vision Pro, eye and hand-tracking are the secret sauce. The Vision Pro is one of those I can’t believe this is real products that takes about five seconds to convince you that it’s magical. I just spent 30 minutes with Apple’s $3,500 “spatial computer” (they’re not calling it a VR or AR or mixed reality headset) and holy f*cking god it is next level. Ignore for a second how goofy the passthrough eyes on the front of Apple’s Vision Pro looks.
