Apple's Vision Pro evaluation is officially lifted!
The real user experience that has not been officially reviewed and independently published quickly swiped the screen and filled the Internet.
Someone put it on, folded n screens in front of them, and watched the game from all angles.
Chasing F1 racing races, that's also called a cool:
There are also people who form a group to open FaceTime and use their personal avatars to make ** calls with 10 years of picture quality regression.
It's called Persona, and Apple claims to use "the latest ML technology".
Not only personal evaluation players, but also professional ** have long article evaluations.
The Verge published tens of thousands of words of ultra-long reviews, on the one hand, said that the Vision Pro was pleasantly surprised, "a miracle display technology, ** the best penetration effect today", and many other features and effects are also remarkable.
On the other hand, he mercilessly pointed out that there were even more disappointments.
Hand and eye tracking can be frustrating, and there's an indescribable sense of loneliness in the process.
But in the end, The Verge still gave an overall score of 7 out of 10
After a rough look at the mainstream reviews on the Internet, the overall overall view of Vision Pro has something in common with The Verge:
Stunning at first glance, dull afterward. ”（magic, until it’s not）
Therefore, the first batch of reviewers to experience or create the vision pro, which sold more than 200,000 units in 10 days of pre-sale and priced at RMB 25,000? How much is the difference between the seller show and the buyer's show?
We've compiled the experiences and opinions of all parties, including **, influencers, and individual gamers, to give you a glimpse of the real face of Vision Pro.
Creative new ways to play.
To be honest, after a long period of waiting, simple unboxing, that is, the kind of casual play according to the instruction guide, can no longer satisfy people's desire for exploration and curiosity.
More new ways to play from the aspects of space experience, operating system, ecological adaptation, and practical functions have been developed by ** and experiencers one by one.
Unique 3D gameplay, free arrangement of windows in the space.
For example, the most intuitive, Vision Pro's 3D display function, is very "fascinating".
Vision Pro can see the real world in 3D directly through its camera.
At the same time, virtual displays and applications can be layered into the real world, and users can freely arrange windows in the space.
You can even put a 3D projection Magic Keyboard in the field of view, and you can use Vision Pro to type in Word.
I really don't forget to think about the workers for a moment).
VisionOS operating system.
Of course, the specific use of Vision Pro is its dedicated adaptation of the VisionOS operating system.
In fact, with Siri voice input, you can already use VisionOS to do a lot of things, such as managing applications, opening various virtual immersion experiences, and so on.
But the Vision Pro is equipped with a more X-grid eye and gesture tracking control system, which uses eye pointing and finger touches to complete the interaction as long as the gesture is within range of the camera.
Although this is about the same as having to be constantly distracting for the user:
Want to click with your eyes? For example, if you are engrossed in looking at something, you can click successfully. This means that the user needs to constantly move their gaze and distract from the click.
Want to control with gestures? In fact, many of the current control options of Vision Pro are small and close to each other, making it easy to touch them by mistake.
The Apple ecosystem integrates seamlessly.
As a member of the Apple family, Vision Pro has integrated into the Apple ecosystem very well.
The whole setup process is just like any other iOS device, just use your iPhone to get close to the Vision Pro and quickly transfer all your devices and agree to the terms and conditions.
Not only that, but the space** (Special Video) shot with your iPhone 15 can also be used in 3D on the Vision Pro.
And as mentioned in the promotional video, wearing Vision Pro to watch Mac Book, you can project the content of the computer screen to reality; Conversely, you can mirror the Vision Pro from your field of view to other Apple devices.
But aside, even if you don't have any other Apple Family Bucket members, the Vision Pro can be used as a standalone device
An unexpected "artifact in the kitchen".
Well, here's a feature that never appeared in the official introduction, but is clearly now popular in test feedback:
Vision Pro is the ultimate hardware add-on for cooking enthusiasts, and it's one of those moments where I can truly see ...... future
That's right, someone wore a Vision Pro and started their 24-hour journey to the kitchen.
To be honest, this game has received a very high evaluation, because wearing it to cut onions really doesn't shed tears.
Specific experience: Surprises and slots coexist.
OK, after reading everyone's brains that are getting bigger and bigger according to the new features, let's talk about the basic experience of using Vision Pro.
Let's briefly summarize it first: there are surprises, and there are many slots.
After a general combing, we have summarized the following 4 unmissable points for everyone.
1. The picture effect is higher than that of the market headset, but it is ......
When Vision Pro arrives, the first feeling that generally gives people is:
The appearance is much smaller than expected, and it is even more noticeable compared to other products on the market.
But some people complained: the box is really big).
After putting it on, we only need to manually adjust the headband, and the rest of the lens focal length and eye tracking settings don't care, and the Vision Pro will automatically calibrate them.
After turning on the machine, the biggest feeling is that the display effect is really good:
The text is super clear, without the "screen door effect" that is common in VR displays; The brightness is just right, the colors are vivid but not oversaturated or exaggerated.
It's as if a huge painting is unfolding before your eyes.
There is a point of view evaluation:
This is where Vision Pro comes in.
When you use it to read a book or work, you can choose a virtual background to "stay" by the lake, under a tree, etc., and you will "feel as if you are really in it".
However, it's best not to turn your head easily: motion blur is noticeable, especially in low-light environments, and there is even a possibility of a comical distortion of "straight lines to curves".
For the perspective effect of connecting virtual and reality, everyone's experience is:
Quite excellent, the best on the market, not a little better than products such as the Quest 3, it is the ultimate that ordinary users can experience.
With this function, we can see what is around us very comfortably in full color.
It's like you're back in the real world, but with a few more floating windows.
Bottom line: No delay is felt (the official figure is 12 milliseconds).
You can wear it to look at your phone, the phone screen will not be overexposed, there is no frame rate problem, and you can wear it to work with your Mac.
However, some people said that they couldn't read the words on the phone clearly after wearing it, and they didn't know if it was because the surrounding environment was not lit enough
When the light is low, the overall sharpness will also decrease as the noise cancellation function is activated.
It must be mentioned that the most representative of the "image quality is not as expected" has to be the persona on the Vision Pro
Vision Pro supports the FaceTime function, or is it the kind that allows each participant to appear in a life-size window with stereo surround sound.
In the FaceTime call, Apple's "PersonA" created by Apple's latest ML technology will be activated, which is to generate a virtual avatar of the user, which can reflect the user's face and hand movements during the call.
But, the quality of persona shown in the trailer is like this:
Here's how the actual assessment experience works:
The image is very fake, the picture quality is very blurry, and it is really uncanny valley.
Equally terrifying are the visible eyes.
In order to reduce the physical barrier between the wearer and their surroundings and make people feel comfortable talking to the wearer, the screen of the Vision Pro is not only "invisible" to the wearer, but also "externally".
This function is called eyesight, and its role is to show the wearer's eyes to those around you.
However, because the outer display is just a low-resolution OLED screen with a lens plate, it can only produce a very dark 3D effect, and the reflection of the outer screen makes it difficult for people to see clearly.
And instead of showing your eyes directly, this thing shows the image of a pair of glasses, so it looks very strange to outsiders.
At the same time, the wearer is unaware that someone is staring into his "eyes" to look at ......
2. Eye tracking has been tired for a long time, and hand tracking does not recognize the owner.
In terms of eye and hand tracking, the recognition is very sensitive, just like the advertisement. Just sweep your gaze to the place you want to choose and gently move your thumb and forefinger.
The first time you use it, it's really shocking, as if you have superpowers.
Note that to implement this superpower, we don't need to raise our hands and wave them in front of us
Place directly on your knees, rest your elbows on the table, and rest your arms on the sofa ......As long as it is within range of the camera, it can easily detect finger movements – "it really feels subtle".
But there are two disadvantages, one is that eye tracking is really tiring after playing for a long time.
Put simply, Vision Pro requires the user to constantly take their eyes off the current action in order to control the next thing that needs to be clicked.
But in the real day-to-day work, we are actually dragging the slider in the editing app with our fingers, while focusing on the changes that have been adjusted.
The experience is really disjointing.
The second is that gesture recognition does not recognize the owner.
In the official introduction, Vision Pro can authenticate the owner through the iris.
When others want to play your Vision Pro, you need to set up "Guest Mode" in the user center, which can not only specify which applications visitors can only use, but also see what visitors are doing in Vision Pro through mirror projection.
But! But!
If your hand does not appear in the field of view while playing with Vision Pro, other people next to you can reach out to you and use gestures to control your field of view!
In other words, while you're playing, someone can interfere with your experience anytime and anywhere (holding your forehead and smiling bitterly).
3. Wearing experience: It is best to have an iron neck and a high nose bridge, and it is better if it is bald.
Let's look at the weight.
The experience was a bit unexpected: it wasn't obvious at first, and it felt heavy after wearing it for a long time.
The Verge is described as:
It's like an iPad stuck to your face – more precisely, it weighs 682 grams at 129-inch iPad Pro (depending on the headband and the vision pro weighs about 600-650 grams).
On top of that, its weight is all concentrated on the front, so although it is lighter than the 722-gram Quest Pro, it is not fully balanced like the Quest Pro, which puts a lot of pressure on the face when worn for a long time.
The Vision Pro comes with two headbands, one is a single strap and the other is a double strap like the Meta Oculus Quest.
This is especially evident when choosing to use a single headband, which won't crush your hairstyle from top to bottom and is relatively friendly to people who value their style.
But in fact, no matter what kind of headband, it will affect the hairstyle to a certain extent).
And because the sense of focus is concentrated on the face, it puts forward high requirements for the bridge of the wearer's nose; For Asians who generally don't have a high enough nose bridge, the place where the weight is borne is likely to become the lower side of the inner corner of the eye.
And if the bridge of the nose is relatively collapsed, wearing it, the Vision Pro will uncontrollably slide down the nose bridge ......
Therefore, the average person will really find it difficult to wear it for a long time, unless you have a very load-bearing iron neck and a tall nose bridge that can support the device itself.
It's better to be bald - without hair, you won't have Vision Pro's unfriendly hairstyles
4. Others: can not be applied, the earphones also leak sound.
There is a very unpleasant question:
While users can use gestures, words, and eyes to control the stacking of displayed content in their field of view, the Vision Pro home screen icons are not allowed to be rearranged, unlike iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Not only can the existing icons not be arranged and moved, VisionOS 10 is not yet supported for placing applications from the web on the home screen.
However, both Netflix and YouTube have said that they will not make a special version of the app for Vision Pro, nor will they adapt the iPad and Vision Pro of the app.
Truth be told, this rule means that users must use Safari to access Netflix and YouTube, which are not available on Vision Pro.
It's quite troublesome.
On top of that, in terms of sound, there is a comment that the spatial sense is quite realistic, and the sound sounds like it came from somewhere in the picture.
However, the sound leakage is more serious and can be heard by the people around you.
The solution is to wear headphones, such as AirPods Pro, and you can also get lower latency, lossless 4848kHz sound quality, and so on.
Finally, there is the battery.
In general, since it does not need to be moved frequently during use, the design of the external charging pack is quite acceptable.
However, although the battery is large, the capacity is actually not large, only 3000 mAh, and the battery life is only about 2 and a half hours.
It should be noted that the battery cannot be disconnected to connect to the power supply during use, otherwise the Vision Pro will immediately run out of power ==
magic，until it is not
After such an experience, what is the overall evaluation of everyone?
The Verge praised it first, be like:
Only Apple can make such a product, many innovative ideas have been realized, and the first generation of the product has been unveiled, which is difficult for other companies to match the Balabala ......
But the conversation is first**
Apple seems to have inadvertently proved that many of these ideas may be dead ends, such as gestures and eye tracking, which simply can't shake the dominance of the mouse, keyboard and touchscreen. Camera-based pass-through technology can also be a fruitless attempt. These techniques may seem magical, and you'll be pleasantly surprised when they work smoothly, but when things go wrong, you'll be frustrated.
However, The Verge thinks that maybe Apple is not unaware of these problems, but the current technology can only go so far. Therefore, Vision Pro may be more like an analog product that opens everyone's imagination and stimulates people's thinking, a dream factory.
So to ask if we'd like to bring Vision Pro into our daily lives, The Verge's point is that there are a lot of questions to think about and compromise
Willing to mess up your hair and smear your makeup with every use? Willing to not be able to easily analyze what you see with others? Would you rather always have your hand movements monitored? Are you willing to accept poor performance in a dim environment? CNBC's overall rating is not so sharp, but if you ask them if they buy it.
The answer is: if there is an extra $3,500 to spare, yes.
How much is ideal? Within 2,000 US dollars (about 14,000 yuan).
Expensive is indeed a problem that almost everyone is complaining about, so I won't mention it much.
The personal opinions of bloggers, Internet celebrities, and ordinary netizens are also varied.
But there is no shortage of optimism
This is just the original version, and I believe it will be even better in the future!
VR enthusiasts are ready to ditch the Quest Pro at home and pick up new "toys".
Ahem, you can also charge your Apple Pencil by playing a unicorn, right?
Well, after the first criticism test was lifted, the overall situation is roughly as described above.
Finally, you are welcome to tell us how you feel in the comment area if you have experienced Vision Pro, and you are also welcome to actively express your opinions if you have never used it
