According to Appleinsider, guests who gathered at Apple Park at Apple's headquarters to participate in WWDC23 were guided to the area where the Vision Pro prototype was displayed after the keynote speech.

Regarding the Vision Pro on display, Appleinsider commented, ``It looked as great as the rendered image of the product shown in Apple's presentation.'' The Vision Pro's housing is made of aluminum alloy, and Appleinsider also describes it as ``creating an atmosphere that combines the original with the iPhone and AirPods Max.''



The laminated panel of curved glass on the front was beautifully polished, and it seems that the cameras and sensors for capturing the external environment at the bottom were almost completely hidden and invisible. Still, looking at the picture below, you can barely see the camera and sensor at the bottom of the pixel display for 'EyeSight', which is a function to show the user's eyes to nearby people.



In addition, it seems that the pixels of the EyeSight display became invisible after a few feet (1 foot = 30.48 cm) away, ``If you get close to the Vision Pro so that you can see the pixels, the wearer will feel uncomfortable,'' Appleinsider said. indicate.

Digital Crown on the top. By rotating this, it is possible to increase or decrease the feeling of immersion in AR content.



Vision Pro can operate by plugging it into a power supply or connecting it to a dedicated external battery, and the following is an external battery. Although it is necessary to connect the external battery to the main unit with a cable, it can be inferred that the weight is lighter because there is no battery in the main unit. In addition, Apple explained that this battery alone can operate for 2 hours.



The side of the main body looks like this. The cable connecting the battery and the main unit extends from the left side of the main unit, which can be removed at any time. The cable connecting the battery and the main unit was the same braided cable as the power cable of

HomePod mini and iMac .



The headband part that covers the head is like this and can be easily removed with the fastener part with the orange tag. Since the headband is stamped with 'M', there is a possibility that multiple sizes will be deployed.



There are also

third-party companies that are already manufacturing replacement headbands.



The headband is made of a single weave, which provides sufficient elasticity and comfortable wearing. You can also control the fit by rotating the knob present on the right side.



In addition, like Appleinsider, the media that shot the actual machine of Vision Pro has released a video of the exterior.

Appleinsider praised the Vision Pro for its looks, calling it 'clearly designed by Apple.' However, he says, ``There are a lot of items I want to test myself,'' and I don't know how it actually works until I try it.

Reviews of media that actually tried Vision Pro have also been published. However, since no photos / videos such as wearing Vision Pro have been released, it can be seen that shooting was prohibited by Apple.

TechCrunch said, ``If you have experienced VR, you should know that the major problems are 'nausea due to delay' and 'loneliness caused by not being able to see the surroundings.'

Vision Pro does not have a dedicated controller and uses only eye tracking and motion tracking, but TechCrunch praises 'almost perfect eye tracking and gesture control'. Also, regarding the resolution of Vision Pro, ``It is very clear and easy to read no matter where the text is placed,'' he said, even with a short trial time, he was able to have an amazing experience. However, 'It should be mentioned that the main body size is very large. Although the main body itself is not heavy, it certainly has a presence.'

The Verge also called it 'the best headset demo ever', praising the Vision Pro for being a great headset with an incredibly impressive display and pass-through capabilities.

According to The Verge, the Vision Pro demonstration started by handing an iPhone for setup and scanning the face with the iPhone just like when setting up Face ID. In addition, since the lens part of Vision Pro can be attached with magnets, it is possible to use the left and right lenses separately according to the user's vision, so a simple check for people wearing glasses is also performed. pattern. About the weight of the Vision Pro main unit The Verge wrote 'less than 1 pound (about 450 g)'.

Also, regarding Vision Pro's eye tracking, he said, 'The eyes are automatically adjusted much more quickly and seamlessly than Quest Pro and others.'

As for the display, ``I had no problems reading text, looking at photos and watching movies in Safari. It's definitely the highest resolution display I've ever seen.'' , ``I could definitely see black areas in my peripheral vision.

Regarding the pass-through function, ``The surrounding environment was displayed with zero delay, and it was very sharp, crisp, and clear. I was also able to take notes with , but I still saw quite a bit of compression at times, and sometimes lost detail when people's faces moved into the shadows.'

It seems that The Verge could not try Vision Pro's EyeSight and shutter button.
