Comment on Ask HN: Vision Pro owners, are you still using it?

Comments

I sold mine about a month after purchase. It’s ok at a lot of things like general app usage, browsing, and running an external monitor for your laptop.

It is absolutely incredible for watching video, even 2D video. The 3D video it can produce is stunning. For me it was the best way to watch video, imo on par with or better than an IMAX screen. Just insane.

However, what got me selling it was: - It doesnt work well on flights. If it did, I could have justified keeping it. - I don’t watch much video alone at home. - Weight. If it was lighter and more comfortable the things it is ok at would be better.

In 10-15yrs, I think this type of device will be as widely used as smartphones are today.

Flights seemed to be one of the use cases they talked about being an amazing immersive experience even though you’re physically confined to a (usually) small seat. What about it didn’t work?
