Here’s the first video of someone actually using Apple’s Vision Pro headset.

Apple let Good Morning America film Robin Roberts using the new device. There’s nothing too surprising about her experience, especially if you’ve read other impressions. And it doesn’t appear that Apple’s EyeSight feature is active, meaning you can’t see Roberts’ eyes while she’s using the headset.

But if you wanted to see the Vision Pro in a setting that wasn’t Apple’s keynote video, you might want to watch this video.

The Vision Pro reminds me of this (in a good way).

Remember Heavy Rain? The Vision Pro’s dial-in-your-preferred-amount-of-reality feature legitimately sounds awesome to me, because it’s a 2010 gamer’s dream come true.

(Minor note: I had forgotten that the game strongly implies these glasses cause brain damage.)

It’s interesting what Apple didn’t choose to show.

We didn’t see the Vision Pro used for:

Fitness, VR gaming, AR gaming, really any gaming you can’t do on a normal television, in a car, on a bus or train, at a sports game or concert, at a social gathering, to access the metaverse, to interpret the world around you, while a human is moving more than a meter per second, while drinking a beverage, or literally anything outdoors.

What’s so ‘pro’ about Apple’s Vision Pro headset?

Apple needs developers to make the case for its new augmented reality headset.

I wore the Apple Vision Pro. It’s the best headset demo ever.

Apple’s new don’t-call-it-a-VR-headset is the best riff on some very familiar ideas, but still searching for a purpose.

Tim Cook is really trying to make “spatial computing” happen.

I’ve been wondering for weeks what term Apple would land on: AR? VR? Mixed reality? Something else? Based on this teaser for a Good Morning America interview airing tomorrow, it sounds like Cook’s term of choice is “spatial computing.” We heard it a few times in the keynote today, and I suspect we’re going to hear it a lot more going forward. A lot more.

I would love to see a single confirmed screenshot through the Vision Pro’s lenses.

We’ll hopefully soon have reports from journalists who’ve actually tried it — but no headset has yet delivered a “you can see whatever you’d see with your eyes” panoramic experience.

Never keeps ‘em from producing these marketing renders to make it seem like they do. Microsoft’s first HoloLens was a particularly bad offender: with VR instead of AR tech, Apple’s FOV should be much better.
