Been trying the Vision Pro for the last few hours. Very interesting… lots of thoughts. A really wowing device in multiple ways. So much could be better, but a lot of hints for the future.

Things people haven’t mentioned

You can tap on your elements when you bring the window close to your faces

The operating system is doing a lot of subtle dimming and brightening of the room to make your viewing experience of the better

Near focus is not good

Eating and watching something is not easy

Thought inspired by John Gruber article I read yesterday

The desktop on a Mac gives you a home, more than the home space on iOS or iPad. Vision gives you the most homey, spacious home yet: your actual home, your actual space (plus virtual environments as well)

From trying it now, one downside is that the virtual environments don’t necessarily feel stable, we can activate them however we like. To have comfort and stabilty, a visionOS user needs to take some time to think about how to set up their space, and where and when to use virtual environments. Without that care, things can feel a bit hectic and random (constantly moving windows around).

This might be more a side effect of me trying to use it in multiple places (in bed, at the desk, in the kitchen). Always using it in an office would make this an easier problem to solve, though you wouldn’t be as flexible for transitioning from work to entertainment uses

Spatial computing can be augmented or distributed

Watching the Casey Neistat video brought a thought

Augmented has the significant advantage of supporting both personal and shared contexts. Distributed would still require some sort of personal device that would be used for personal computing.

have been wearing the Vision Pro for a lot of time today, noticing my sight is a bit tired, especially when I look at a normal computer screen right now

More Vision Pro thoughts

Taking off the light seal actually might be more comfortable, I put back the lights heel cushion, but I think, resting on my nose, feels a little bit easier than the pressure on my cheeks and forehead. I’m also more optimistic about that being less of a long-term impact on my face.

Bringing objects close to your face and tapping them is a big UX change. Some things feel easier to do that way and it feels nice to bring things close and just tap them done.

Selecting text feels especially difficult right now. You can double tap text and then look at the edge cursors and drag them but it’s pretty finicky to say the least.
