Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think a recliner set up could work. In that position you can wear it all day.

I'm disappointed by how shallow even "in depth" reviews are that they don't mention this. A reclined position basically eliminates weight and balance issues. Additionally, using a traditional monitor in a reclined position is very difficult.

For Meta's Quest headsets, third party manufacturers sell solid "halo" head straps, which are much more comfortable by distributing the weight mostly on top of the head instead of just pressing the headset to the face. Basically imitations of Sony's PlayStation VR.

The top manufacturer is BoboVR, but they obviously haven't yet made one for the Vision Pro.

I don't get why Meta and Apple don't include this as the default, given that it's obviously the optimal solution. Then again, at least Apple even used a heavy and unnecessary metal frame in the headset, so ergonomics clearly isn't their top priority.

testing lying down as we speak. Much more comfortable. The killer market for this device is business airline travel.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this just a fake "demo" crafted with Premier Pro type scene stabilization? Just an "artist" with a rendition of what this could be like?

No this is a screen recording from an actual Vision Pro which was released on Friday.

Not that I would know first-hand, but several other videos of the AVP in action look the same.

This is starting to me remind of when everyone was talking about replacing their Desktop/Laptop with an iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard for their work machine. I don't know anyone who was able to do so successfully.

I know a couple people who travel(ed) a lot who made it work for them. Personally I never could. (And a MacBook Air is sufficiently svelte and light these days I'm not sure I would make the effort.)

Turning your head ~90 degrees to the left just to be able to see Slack(or any other windows) is for me an productivity nerf, not a boost. What's wrong with Alt/Option - Tab instead? In my life I experimented with 3 monitors, 2 monitors, one monitor, ultra widescreens, square aspect ratio displays, and a mix of several of those, etc. and I find the best productivity setup is when I have everything centered in my narro…

Yeah. Is turning your head more taxing than an app switch? Yes. That’s my experience. Moving your eyes 20-30 degrees is less taxing than app switching.

Most times you don’t have a use case for 2 monitors and you are then forced to find a problem for your sunk cost as it’s already in front of you with an empty space. You want to fill it with something and make yourself think you are working faster

Nope, this a screen recording of the Vision Pro's passthrough. High quality video with rocksteady tracking to keep the windows perfectly in place! That same channel has a couple other videos with him using the AVP as well.
