It seems like everything here can also be done with any iPhone using ARKit. Obviously the headset is better, but not $3500 better than just looking through your phone. Just thought I’d raise this since it weirdly isn’t mentioned in the article. I used a similar technique the last time I moved - scan the apartment using the iPhone, then I had a 3D model for measuring and planning out the space before/during the move.…

Arkit is the first thing i thought of and has way way more of an adressable market.

Apple doesn’t sell the Vision Pro in Spain yet, so acquiring one would require taking a trip to France. For Vision Pro owners: is it worth it? Do you use it often? The post does mention a very compelling use case, but it is quite narrow (how often are you remodelling your house?)

I keep on hearing it’s a flop, but where I live, Switzerland, they don’t sell it. So I can’t really say.

And I am not even talking about the badly taken product decisions for such a great headset but… how can they get devs onboarded for an app ecosystem for a device that can only be bought in a handful of countries?

Clearly Apple sold it and did their best so that it fails.

Favorite tech product I have ever purchased. I use it as my main MacBook display for often 8+ hours per day. As long as you are willing to bump up the font size a bit, the programming experience is fantastic. I use it as a 21:9 display, but it can go up to 32:9. My wife and I watch movies together in the theater environment, and the in-room sharing experience is great. My face and neck were prepared from numerous pas…

Interesting. Anybody out there been able to do this with a Quest 3?

I did it, it’s possible.

It’s also a terrible experience. Pixelated. Laggy. Can’t see where the keyboard is… it’s half baked.

I can work max one hour then I give up.

I tried with a Quest Pro and did not find it enjoyable at all. I have not tried the latest Galaxy headset to compare.

I've done this quite a lot while working at a large architecture firm. It can be great for both small and enormous projects.

Often, the more effort you put into the tiniest details, textures, etc the larger the realism payoff.

I also found that immersion got better when the headset responded to the subtle head movements that we all make.
