Vision Pro users "live": housework becomes a game, assists fitness, and even wears a headset to "brave the world"
"Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" on February 4 (edited by Song Ziqiao) After the release of media evaluations, the first wave of user evaluations of Apple's Vision Pro is also here!
At 8 a.m. Pacific time on February 2 (0:00 Beijing time on February 3), Apple's Vision Pro was officially launched in the United States, and Cook visited the Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan, New York, and offline buyers arrived one step earlier than those who placed orders online.
The world's first retail version of the Vision Pro was rolled out of stores
The first wave of users of the device can't wait to post videos of their use. Compared with the application range of Meta's VR headset Quest, Apple's intention is very obvious - to break people's perception that this kind of headset is only a game console, and let Vision Pro penetrate into work, study, sports and other aspects. Early adopters have shown a number of non-entertainment scenarios, without further ado, as shown above:
Vacuum and save coins
When dealing with work, eat fritters without fear of soiling the keyboard
Microsoft Zoom supports Vision Pro, which allows you to wear the device to participate in multi-person meetings
Assists in fitness
Talk to foreigners
3D modeling
Immersive online viewings
Beginners of music games can quickly learn the piano
Use the Tesla app with the Vision Pro, which becomes a mobile key
Of course, there are also quite a few examples in terms of entertainment:
Access to the "Private Cinema" at any time
You don't need equipment to play board games
The living room is transformed into a DJ ballroom
In addition, Disney has released an official video to bring users a variety of new wonders to experience teaching, Pokémon GO's developer Niantic has developed an AR mini-game specifically for Vision Pro, and miHoYo's Star Dome Railway has also officially announced its support for Apple's Vision Pro......
Those who dare to put on the Vision Pro have braved the real world and received a lot of attention.
Skateboarding and walking on the streets, but "discreetly" wearing a fluorescent jacket (note: this is a high risk and is not recommended)
In the subway, in a restaurant, on the street, you may see a person wearing a Vision Pro, but you don't know what space he is in right now, he may be working on a job, or he may be watching a movie immersively.
Several U.S. technology media released the first round of reviews of Vision Pro, and on the whole, this device is not very impressive.
Will they be "slapped in the face"?
It is understood that the machine in the hands of the above-mentioned review media is only pre-installed with more than 20 native applications, and Vision Pro in the new App Store, there are more than 600 new applications specially developed for Apple's Vision Pro (more than 100 more than the total number of applications in Meta's Quest store), these native applications will cover sports, film and television, productivity, games, nature, education, music, shopping and health nine categories of application scenarios.
More than 1 million apps have been supported, including OpenAI's ChatGPT.
The developer ecosystem can be said to be Apple's way of survival. With a foundation built on hardware such as iOS and iPadOS, Vision Pro's ecosystem has a clear advantage: developers can use existing frameworks on iOS and iPadOS – SwiftUI, RealityKit, and ARKit – to build immersive AR and VR experiences for Vision Pro.
The next wave of evaluations will depend on Chinese consumers.
At the launch of the retail version of the Vision Pro, a Chinese user asked Cook when the Vision Pro would be released in China and whether it would be available when the WWDC2024 was held. ”
