I tried to use the Vision Pro for work, and I'm not sure if it was just my eyes or what, but looking at code inside of that thing was just...exhausting. When I took it off, I looked at my regular monitors with a newfound love. I'd love for this thing to reach it's full potential as this 'work from a mountaintop, but really your garage' device, but I feel like until the resolution gets to the same as existing monitors…

When I don't wear contacts for a while(just normal glasses), wearing them throughout the day also makes me a bit "tired". Even though the "resolution" is basically the same. But after wearing them consecutively for a few days, it becomes like the same as glasses. I wonder if there's something similar here going on. Since we rely so heavily on vision for everything(Especially balance). Any difference to our normal per…

That might have to do with the eye "enlarging" a little to make space for the lenses, or maybe more likely with you learning to "lubricate" the lenses with tearing

(pure conjecture, I last used lenses fifteen twenty years ago)

I haven't tried them, but I imagine that despite the high resolution, text that is badly aligned (and probably constantly imperceptibly wobbling) strains the eyes. The software should probably force text to be aligned on whole real pixels, even if that detracts a little from the realism. And the best would probably be to keep virtual screens completely fixed until you move by a certain, largish degree (as an option).…

> aligned on whole real pixels

Remember that you're working with two screens, not one, and they have to have coordinated projections that will also depend on the user's IPD.

Interesting perspective, but not enough for me to be sold. I never understood how one can be at work and expect to be enjoying lovely scenery at the same time. Those are mutually exclusive for me, especially when coding or hacking. My mind can only be one place at a time. If only we could set aside the computer and truly be in nature... Oh, wait, we can...

Damn. My family use Memojis heavily!

Don't worry, most people on Hacker News have no real idea how normal everyday people use tech products. This person thinks Memojis are unused, but they just lack perspective.

100% of my social circle works outside tech, and nobody uses memojis

This feels like one of those activities that's so drastically different that there may be serious health concerns about it. Wearing a VR headset to play a few hours of games a week still lets your eyes mostly exist in a natural light setting. When you're wearing a VR display the light is right up against your eyes with no possibility for them to look away to relax. When we're normally working we can glance out at a h…

I wonder what it will do to our skin after long time use. I get red goggle rings around my eyes. Is it going to crest more wrinkles? One improvement vs phones is there’s no more bending the neck down to look at something in your hands. Interesting times!

That's entirely a consequence of the made-for-marketing headstrap instead of the headset itself. Check out companies like BOBOVR that make more ergonomic headstraps (not for AVP yet, but they've hinted at working on it).

When reading about headset experiences, I'd de-weigh any insights that are within 3 months of the first headset purchase. The first few dozen sessions are novel, you get a kick (and social media views) about sharing how completely your life has changed to fit the headset. More often than not, it's collecting dust on the shelf within a few months. Sort of like an expensive blender you were so excited to get, you imagi…

“Active noise cancellation for your eyes” is a great way to put. I also have found myself using the mount hood environment set to daytime as the setting for macOS + visionOS multi-window set up. I took it off yesterday before some friends came over for dinner and I was kind of shocked that it had gotten dark outside because my mind felt like it was still day time since the sun was out in mount hood. I had actually be…

Okay but as I sit here in my own private space in a city, one of these I need and one of these I don't.

I returned mine today after attempting to use it for work for a few hours at a time over the last week. I felt the same eye strain with my Mac as a mirrored display. Zoom calls were cool, but nobody could take the Persona seriously. After a few days the eye strain seemed to get worse and worse, until yesterday it give me such a bad headache I decided that was enough.

> Zoom calls were cool, but nobody could take the Persona seriously. This is going to be another of their socially awkward gimmicks like Memojis they will double down until they inevitably fail. I really feel like Apple actually just doesn’t feel it and every time they’re pushing their weird geeky ideas onto their users they loose a bit of coolness factor. And if kids decide Apple got too cringe, while someone else m…

I’ve wondered the same. Apple has been a “given” for 20 years because they somehow keep shipping great stuff and avoid the Microsoft trap of looking like total dorks by existing in an echo chamber.

Even if they made a small misstep or had an awkward moment in a launch announcement, it was seen as endearing and forgivable.

But there seem to be an increase in moments where Apple comes across as behind the curve, or not as aware of where the public is at relative to them, compared to then.

I can touch type just fine, it’s finding the home row to put my fingers in the start positions that is the problem. Blacking out my keyboard wouldn’t accomplish anything.

Pretty much every keyboard out there has little bumps on the F and J keys for exactly this purpose.

I know. I understand. But you still have to grope around for a couple of seconds to find them.

It's not impossible, it's just annoying.
