The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not::There’s a lot of pressure on the new Apple Vision Pro headset, which starts at $3,499 and marks the beginning of something called “spatial computing.” The ambition is enormous, but the Vision Pro also represents a series of really big tradeoffs.

    Plus you’re locked into Mac only ecosystem. Even if controllers get made later, you can only play what works on iPads or screen sharing with your Mac.

    Hand tracking sounds cool, but how he explained it in the review it’s not as useful as the Index’s hand controller because you have to always have your hands in sight. And random movements make things happen you don’t mean to happen.

    This definitely isn’t like the iPhone launch.

      You don’t need to have your hands in sight, they need to be in sight of the hand sensing cameras. He specifically said you don’t need to raise your hands up to use them and that it’s a quite wide field of view.
