I'm actually not sure which button does what on the Quest. I usually click them all until something happens.

The Apple Music team is off doing their own BS. The Music app is also trash in other platforms with terrible UX.
The Home tab in the music app shows exactly 1 tile of information on my 15 Pro Max. That's 3.6 million pixels and they couldn't be bothered to fit more than 1 item without scrolling.
I'm still very curious exactly what people had in mind for this. Like, from all reports, it is a very good VR headset. But... what do people think they will use a VR headset for? Heck, the PS5 VR headset seems to be having trouble selling, and it is very good at what it is designed for. Anyone buying the PSVR2 knows they are getting it to play games. Solo games, at that. Yes, you can do a party mode for Beat Saber an…
>So, what did the non-gamer community hope for from this? What is there to feed those hopes?
There are still so many people who have never touched VR who are somehow hyped up and convinced this is somehow more magical or more special than everyone elses headset.
Basically it's just the normal reality distortion effect. Sooooooo many comments of "the original iPhone wasn't perfect either". So?
I would love to hear from people that have tried to use this headset whilst wearing prescription glasses. Is Apple's own statement "You cannot wear Apple Vision Pro while wearing eyeglasses." accurate?
This is user-hostile. Not everything that can be enforced should be enforced. Anyway, the one thing that is even more user-hostile is sending app-makers screenshot-was-made events without telling the users. This is a thing on Android.
It’s cute that you think that companies can demand things from film studios. But in the real world that doesn’t happen and Apple needs their support to get this content on the platform in the first place.

The snark does not really add anything to the discussion.
Apple is the second largest company in the world by market cap. I think they have some leverage.

YES! I counted 5 discrete actions that I had to perform in sequence in order to turn off Vision Pro. Why not an On/Off switch? Or are they saving this for Gen 2?
One of the most important and key points I hope Apple iterates on in an upcoming version is some type of universal undo action. It's immensely frustrating to be watching a video in the photos app and swipe a tiny bit wrong only to lose all current progress in the video even after you swipe back. Even scrubbing controls for long videos (1+ hours) can be super finnicky and it's tough to select accurately. The tradition…
The gesture could be a fist clench, naturally occurring when you angrily realise you've deleted the wrong thing.
I owned one and this article is perfectly accurate. This guy hit the nail on the head on everything. Passthrough is massively oversold, even if it's technically impressive. They set expectations way too high. The comfort is the #1 reason I don't own a Vision Pro anymore. I feel exactly as the author put it, "relieved," when I take it off. I feel significantly more disconnected from my family when I have it on because…
I also feel like the lack of precise/physical controls is going to make gaming a non-starter. Which is really the main reason I’m excited about VR in the first place.
I would assume someone could easily integrate a controller for their app using the Game Controller framework [1]. So its not impossible. The only complaint I could see is there not being a standardize visionOS physical controller. But I assume that you could assume the PlayStation DualSense or SteelSeries Nimbus+[2] is probably what you should target controls for.

>Passthrough is massively oversold, even if it's technically impressive. They set expectations way too high. As a Vision Pro owner, kinda, but kinda not? I have a really low-power glasses prescription (-1/-1.5) and I've come to the conclusion that everyone saying this has the priviledge of being born with perfect (irl) vision. It's intentionally a little bit out of focus to obscure the screen door effect, which I und…
The passthrough camera has fairly low resolution compared to the inner displays, so if it looks "lifelike" to you, it's probably time to consider getting your glass prescription updated. Comparing the VP to the Quest 3, it's a significant upgrade (and should be, for the 7x price), but neither of them is anywhere close to "lifelike."
This also doesn't make sense for the copyright owner interests. Don't you want people to share screenshots of your movies and shows?
If I can take a screenshot, I can copy the whole movie.
Technically, yes. Practically, it's unfeasible. Legally, there's a pretty sharp distinction between copying one frame to share with friends or on social media and copying all the friends with an intent of copying the entire movie.
