I have a couple flights soon and I was thinking about picking one up to ease the cross-country trips.
Are you using yours on flights or for work or not at all?

And there's the rub... a $3,500 novelty for rare trips.
Why not consider one of the other portable VR headsets - they'll do everything you're going to want/need on a long flight but will save you $3,000...

#3I had someone throw up next to me during the first few hours of a 10 hour flight after using Oculus Quest. Not fun.

#4Haven’t used it in over 2 months?
Flying to Japan tomorrow and, although it’d be great for the flight, don’t want to lug it around.

#5Day 1 buyer, I am using it on flights. I expect gpt4o/gpt5 to be a killer app with it, basically it will have 180 degree realtime video I can chat about at low latency.
It’s not comfortable enough to code with, but it’s the best portable movie theater ever made for sure.

#6Apparently you can return it after a couple of weeks, so might as well try it out?

So are the $500 VR headsets, by the way...

#8I used it pretty regularly for non-work things (primarily really great TV or movies I wanted to watch, or live soccer games). Found I couldn't really use it for work stuff (the interactions, though not fatal, aren't in a state that I found a net benefit currently).
Am I using it now? Not at all. But I blame a new puppy in the household upending my schedule rather than the Vision Pro. Big fan of the puppy release, though, definitely one of my favorite innovations as of late.

#9I have it, and am barely using it. It can't do much of anything without being paired to a Macbook, due to being restricted to only running iPad apps (ie no software development tools, only a tablet-oriented browser with weird tablet quirks). This makes it not very portable in practice. The one place where I would want to use it is in the back seat of car rides, but it's entirely nonfunctional in that context.

#10I’m still using it for watching movies on flights, pretty decent at that. Best in flight entertainment I have ever experienced.
I tried to use it for work too and that did not work out, for me the text was too fuzzy and it became frustrating. Reddit forum made me think I was nuts but recently has been shown to be deliberate to reduce screen door effect.
