The article provides an in-depth review of the Apple Vision Pro headset, which was showcased at WWDC 2023. The author, Matthew Panzarino, had a chance to try out the device and shares his first impressions.
Here are some key points from the article:
- Crisp Display: The author is impressed with the sharpness of the display, saying it’s "crisp as hell." He notes that even at far distances within the space, the image remains clear.
- Smooth Setup: Panzarino praises the setup process, stating it takes only a couple of minutes to get started. This ease of use is characteristic of Apple products.
- 3D Movies and Photos: The author is impressed with the 3D format on the Vision Pro, saying it’s "born to make the 3D format sing." He notes that the device can display shot-on-3D movies pretty much right away, which could bring new life to existing libraries.
- Digital Avatar: Panzarino was skeptical about the digital avatar feature but was surprised by how well it works. The avatar is created using a scan of your face and can be used in FaceTime calls and other areas.
The author concludes that while he has had far too little time with the device, Apple Vision Pro is "really, really well done." He notes that it’s the platonic ideal of an XR headset and expresses his enthusiasm to see what developers and Apple accomplish over the next few months.
