## Summary

After more than forty hours of use over four days, Apple's Vision Pro impresses with its interface and pass-through video, though its first version still has clear drawbacks. The headset weighs 650 grams, compared with 515 grams for Meta's Quest 3, and its over-the-head band made long sessions comfortable without causing nausea. Pass-through video looks almost transparent, but the field of view is narrow and the external battery lasts about three hours. The "eye pinch" interface is described as the most striking element, recalling the reaction to the first iPhone in 2007.

## Comments

**tim**: My flat is quite dark and I often work at night. I also tend to like having dimmed lights. Cameras usually perform much worse in low lights.

I‘ve seen screen captures of people using the AVP in dark rooms and it looked really odd. Although, I guess the immersion mode could fix that.

**tim**: Also, I know this is somewhat threspassing on taboos, but how come people write ten thousand word reviews about a new virtual reality headset without mentioning porn even once 😅
