You'll need an appointment, a head scan, and prescription data to buy an Apple Vision Pro (www.techspot.com)

A lot of folks are going to be sharing their device with others. How does that work?

[–] theagiledev@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think that this is somewhat fair, especially for helping in dialing the settings in for those of us with minor VR sickness.

“Prescription Data” reads to me like: get this filled right away: 3ccs of a Wi-Fi 6 base station, and we’re going to start you on a course of 5g mmWave with monthly refills.

Does this mean the prescription lenses are included? They didn’t seem to indicate that during the release but it reads that way to me in this article.

They might just be using it to get your IPD. Then they'll ship the device with a non-adjustable IPD. I feel like they'll make you buy the inserts separately.

You probably still have to pay for the inserts. I have a Valve Index and VR wasn’t fun without them for me as a practically blind guy.

Talk about a hassle, on top of that price point. If this is the future of AR/VR, I'm good.

One upside is that it cuts down on the scalpers

[–] joshinator@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Heads come in all sizes and shapes.
The HP Reverb gave me headaches within 10mins of playing due to the small sweetspot in the middle, other people had no issues with it because their IPD was smaller. Same goes for weight distribution, nose sizes, light leaks and more.

I don't think it's a hassle, more a service to get it customized/dialed in for a unique head.
They pay a nice chunk of money for it, Apple can't have anyone badmouthing it because they just sold a "one size fits all" model.

One ten minute appointment or phone scan in exchange for a much better fit is a bad trade to you?

I swear people will find anything to get worked up about
