Just curious if any of you are still actively using your Vision Pro, and if you are, what are you using it for?

#2Yes! Honestly, I mostly just use it as a really, really fancy iPad. It's great for watching content, like movies and TV shows. Some of the games are also fun too in small doses.

#9Not the Vision Pro, but I got the latest Facebook device around Christmas time, and it got almost entirely shelved before the end of January. I maybe get it out, for a workout, once a month now.
Some of the games were really fun, most notably Walkabout Minigolf and Super Hot VR.
Some of the exercise programs were pretty neat, most notably The Thrill of the Fight and Les Mills Body combat.
It did not work well as a replacement for either a TV or a computer monitor. The device was just too bulky and inconvenient and the software too clunky. So much easier to just use a laptop, if I want to work / watch on the go.
In the end, none of the experiences were compelling enough to keep using it regularly.

#10I use it every morning with my keyboard to watch videos, get caught up on emails and messages, and sometimes call friends. I don’t use it quite as much in the evenings when my wife is around since I like to be able to show her what I’m doing, so I’ll use my laptop instead.
