Hey everyone! Some of the best, most constructive comments I’ve seen on one of our videos in some time. Thank you! And keep ‘em coming!
Hey Caleb, I noticed you haven't explored the Apple TV+ app for the theater experience. This is the best movie experience on Apple Vision Pro. Simply start a movie in the Apple TV+ app and locate the environment icon ⛰ at the top left corner. Select it, and you'll find three options: your current environment in light or dark, and a Cinema option.
The first two options will expand your screen beyond what you could manually achieve and immerse it in the environment, giving you a sense of grandeur. As for the cinema environment, you can select your preferred seating position-front row, middle row, back row, floor, or balcony. To do so, just navigate to the media player bar.
Give it a try for an enhanced movie-watching experience!
I agree! Very insightful and interesting point of view with a great balance of technical information and personal experience. Keep up the good work Caleb!
I doubt it could beat a Sony QD-OLED tv but that things cost like $4,000… so far Apple hasn’t sold me because I much rather spend that money on a high end tv or Alienware laptop . For that money
I could get the laptop, QDOLED monitor and mouse and keyboard . Also a few basic questions most reviewers aren’t asking 1. Who do they expect to buy this ? 2. Who do they expect to pay the price ? 3. Is this a pro or customer market ? Because I get the feeling that this is a workstation device that will do with a high end MacBook Pro that for 3d modeling or something similar.
@@PatrickAdia Good points, thank you.
One reviewer took his AVP into a movie theater. From a middle row position, the AVP large screen image more than covered the theater screen, which he showed by switching to pass through twice.
Caleb didn't perceive it as big, but he is an experienced AV professional. He couldn't feel the illusion, even though most would. But in Cinema option, the basic illusion is enhanced by the familiar setting in photo-realist... 3d.
I bet Caleb would immerse into the illusion then.
Who would want a cinema size screen? People who have projectors or want 100+ inch tvs, for sure. Maybe anyone who experienced it too.
@@neubauerjoseph You hit the nail on the head. I ask myself what woudl I do with it, I alread have my iPhone, home theather, a MacBook pro and a playstation so what is the vision pro going to do that I cannot already do.

When I first got my AVP I thought I’d be watching movies in the nature environments. I’ve watched a few in there but my go-to is the Cinema environment now. It’s so convincing and immersive, I keep expecting to see an emergency exit when I look around.
@@acslater017 Agreed! It is 100% the best movie experience. I'm hoping Apple will make it standard for any video content like the media bar. Have you tried the environment cinema through the Apple TV+ app where Apple set a gigantic screen automatically in the middle of the environment? It's my close second.
@@acslater017 The emergency exit gave me a chuckle 😂. That would be a cool way to exit the environment.
@@PatrickAdia Yea I’m such a nerd I pick my environment to match the movie. Shogun = Mt Hood; Dune = White Sands 🤓. Can’t wait for the new beach and lake environments to come out.
And yes, Apple should open up the environments to all videos, I’d also love to watch Disney+ or HBO in the Cinema.
@@acslater017 haha! Love it! I’m actually considering holding out on some Disney and Max movies until we get the cinema environment (or a better one on their respective apps).
When you talk about the screen feeling like it was too close, despite the space looking 3D, you're describing 'Vergence-Accommodation Conflict'.
The focus point int he headset is fixed, despite the convergance giving the image 3d structure. In real life, focus and convergance are tied together. If VR, they're forcibly seperated, which accounts for a LOT of people's discomfort in them. and makes the content feel like it's at a fixed distance, despite looking 3D.
I've seen a lot of VR reviewers talk about this issue but they put a name to it. I wish reviewers would talk about the need for verifocal lenses (lenses which allow focus and convergence to match) more so consumers could put a name to the phennomenon they experiance, so headset makers cna make it more of a priority. This one thing still puts a lot of people off playing VR fromt he strain and nausia.
SadlyItsBradley has spoken about those lenses coming in the future.
This is a great point. Thank you!
I was gonna comment but this eloquently sums up just about everything I wanted to say lol.
This is interesting. I haven't noticed this at all, but I really don't use the AVP for anything other than a screen like a TV or monitor.
I have had all the Quests and you do have to remind yourself you're in a game and you're not supposed to be moving, which I think helps your mind adjust. I've felt the nausea previously but now I don't really get it at all. One thing that helped me adjust was to just stop if you get nauseous, don't fight through it.
Varifocal lenses in VR are an active area of research.
Probably one of the most useful vision pro videos I've seen so far, thanks Caleb.
"Small screen close to my face", it's due to focal length. It pretends to have a large screen far away, but when your eyes try to focus far away, it doesn't quite work.
watching movies is the only reason I would buy one, so this is exactly the review I've been waiting for. Thank you so much.
The theater experience is better than what Caleb described. I don't think he has used it in the Apple TV+ app where the best movie watching experience is.
If your considering spending 3500 for a headset to only watch movies your doing something wrong in life , the TV you could get for that price makes it blatantly clear this headset is a rip off
@@weplayvrgames If you watched the video you'll see that he says the video quality is comparable, if not better in some ways to to the TVs you are talking about, plus, as he mentioned, 3D is as good as it gets, and there are reasons, even if you can't think of any, why a person would want home theater quality video and sound, without wanting others to hear it, or without the ability to have a 100 inch screen. I'm not going to get one, but the future isn't always clear and there may come a day where I don't have the space for a full theater and these might be not only better, but also cost comparible. So, not for me, but also not a rip off to some people
And it's portable so you can take it on business trips, camping/RV, boating/houseboat, etc.
and a lot of people now are doing "van life" or sharing a house with a ton of people because living has gotten so expensive. While it is expensive, if you really want a great movie experience with extremely limited space, this could be one of the very best options, and it is truly much cheaper than building a real home theater...which would be a giant waste if only one person wants that experience.
Spot on review. I watched Mad Max Fury Road on the Vision Pro this week and aside from technical glitches brought on from laying in bed, it was an amazing experience. The 3D is top notch and I don't even have the prescription inserts yet (bought in in-store on Monday, inserts are out for delivery today which is Thursday). It's a really neat experience and while Meta has been building these headsets for a while, I think Apple figured out what problem it's trying to solve and they are doing a great job at solving it.
This is the video that have been waiting for. To finally see a indepth comparison between a home theater and AVP and even talk about truecut motion which I've never heard about before. This is the first video I've seen in a while that actually has something new to say about AVP and doesn't even have a click bait title either. Bravo sir🎉🎉🎉
Gotta say, I almost rolled my eyes at the intro before talking about TrueCut motion, but you were so right to emphasize it. Jutter and stutter are my personal biggest issues left with my home theater experience. The possibility of that not being present makes my mouth (or eyes?) water.
this is the video ive been waiting for, thanks.
That conclusion at the end was truly awesome. Loved watching your take on the Vision Pro!
Nailed it. I have an A95K (not L) and find myself reaching for the AVP when I’m going to watch a movie alone. It’s an incredible device (and it’s a good comparison, since my TV and the AVP cost a near identical amount.) AirPods Pro sound better with this device than they have any right to, but I have been meaning to experiment with sending audio to my ATMOS home theater, not sure if I’ll be able to get it to work.
This is a fantastic device for watching movies. Avatar in D+ is indescribable. Looks better than I remember in the theater.
This device has weaknesses, and isn’t very good for gaming… but I am so happy I own it. I was skeptical at the price, it now that I’ve owned it for a month I would pay $5k instead of $3500. It’s that good.
You can send audio to Vision Pro through Bluetooth to speakers/surround soundsystem, but it's hidden. On Vision Pro go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices and pair your speaker or speaker system there. Reportedly
works fairly well but it will warn you that the implementation is not 'optimized for Vision Pro'.
Well said!
@@SteelersHomerI may be wrong, but I don't think you can reproduce surround sound with Bluetooth.
you reach the vision pro because of the guilt of wasting 3500$
I’m glad I stuck with you… because you using a VP not setup for you made me kind of CRAZY.
I came here looking for an overview of the Vision Pro for watching movies and got *way* more than I expected. Pretty excited about the future for the product. Great video, thanks!
This kind of first hand experience with the device is really interesting. Great video
each time we waste hours watching useless reviews from one or another. each time you hit right the heart of the matter,. Great job my friend(s)
Hey man, just food for thought, but you don't have to insult others to compliment Caleb. I doubt he would even like that, not trying to be mean since you were trying to be nice but idk thought I'd say :)
You're 100% right on the 48fps thing - I remember having this exact thought when the Hobbit films were released.
I was waiting on this. Great job! Answered my questions. TY
I thought the exact same thing.
Great video. One thing though....I don't know if you decided to omit or didn't have a chance to see it. Apple TV + has currently 3 TV shows (1 episode each so far) with immersive experiences (like this woman walking on the line in Norway) and some "animal planet" kind of things. I liked my AVP from the beginning.... but after watching these , made specially with some next level equipment by Apple.....that is the future of television ..and I want it NOW !!! Mind blowing.
this was great!! i mostly see this as a media consumption device so your opinion was much appreciated! also, learned about a new technology (true-cut motion) which is exciting!
When I first entered the Disney+ immersive theater, I gasped. Absolutely stunning visuals.
🤣🤣
Hi Caleb, what stands are you using for the Samsung speakers? I've been trying to find a good stand for them.
Do you think true cut is a feature that will be coming to TV soon? Is it worth holding out on a G4 to wait for a generation that includes it?
You do such a great job at reviewing products. That’s all I have to say. Thank you.
Amazing review, thank you! Great information and explanations, very easy to follow. Also grateful for the many subtitles! Subscribed!
Great Video - Look forward to learning more about TrueCut. Questions I have is who else is in the ecosystem? Disney is but is Apple? What TV vendors? Will it be like Dolby "inside"? Lightstorm and Dreamworks are involved. I know they have been talking about it for a while but it sounds like it's finally happening. The TV industry needs another catalyst to get everyone to upgrade. Looks like they finally found one. Fantastic overview of the AVP!
Do you still own the Nakamichi dragon 11.4.6 sound system?
I have one. Watching this review right now with it.
I love having a movie theater sized screen that I can take with me everywhere I go.
When was the last time you had a movie theater with you on an airplane?
Or on the train?
Or in your hotel room?
If you have a theater room, then no, this won't replace that because there is a slight goggles effect.
But everywhere else you go, my goodness it's nice to have.
u can calibrate the ipd when u unlock it tho ...5 times pressing the crown I think
...about getting sick after 10 min idk there might have been another issue maybe with the software version or who knows what else the lidar reflecting from a mirror .....with a static experience there shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of people
Stunning review Caleb! Thank you!
Thanks for this comprehensive review, Caleb. I have a question about one part of the experience you only barely touched on: the bass. Is it safe to assume that the Apple Vision Pro (even with the Pro buds) cannot replicate the experience (pressure, hit-you-in-the-chest feeling,) of a surround system with top-of-the-line subwoofers? Or did the Vison Pro somehow replicate that experience? I just can't imagine tech like this giving me the same experience as Hsu or SVS or JTR or Perlisten subwoofers can.
I guess we will need a new certified tv and a new avr for this truecut motion, aww man. I wish it could be like a upgrade, like windows dts and atmos license from the store. Me and a lot of folks already got a 120hz - VRR tv and avr, so why we need to purchase a new device only for a license or certification. Thanks for the video.
Worth the wait, thank you very much Caleb!
Thank you for this very nice explanation, I got a couple quick questions when you’re using this do you see a black line and a bottom black line so you can tell you’re looking at a screen or does it fully engulfed your vision second question what happened if you need glasses for reading and you use the Vision Pro is it blurry?
Their are prescription lenses you can have put into the headset.
Awesome, thanks for the different take! I like its future potential. I'll wait until it is more cost effective and ubiquitous, but I like what is on the horizon!
Great review. Comprehensive/deep-dive and asked all the questions we were all wondering. I want to like VR glasses (for their portability and convenience), but thus far they always seem to come up short, for one reason or another. It appears the Apple Vision Pro is stating to bridge the gap. Will definitely keep my eye on this.
Is TrueCut motion what James Cameron used for Avatar The Way of Water? I had very mixed feelings about it because for that film it was pretty much just a binary switch between 24fps and 48fps, and the constant switch on a shot-by-shot basis was distracting. I'd rather have the entire film 24fps or 48fps and not switch back and forth. I saw the film in IMAX twice and Dolby Cinema once and my feelings were the same about the HFR across formats.
Nice info!
I might have missed it - but can this receive managed alerts from things like your home security & IoT systems? Otherwise, you may be robbed blind while watching CSI.
Love the "deep" dive here Caleb. I think it's the future and I do hope streaming services/TV's add more context the the Vision Pro. I'm hoping it can one day fully replace my Atmos surround sound Sony A9 when watching movies.
Great insights. Thank you.
Really interesting deep dive into the Vision Pro! This video was very well done and Caleb’s commentary is thoughtful and intelligent, as always. I definitely think the Vision Pro will be an additional option in the pantheon of home entertainment offerings, but don’t think it will replace a great TV and sound system for me. For one thing, I don’t know how long I could take that thing on my face and strapped around my head! But I would sure like to try it sometime. Great job! Oh and love that album cover! Every jazz lover really should have an album cover with JAZZ emblazoned on it in turquoise and lavender! Hope the music is as amazing as the cover!!!🤣🥰🥳🔥
Maybe this can help you. I too also couldn’t get over the idea of it being a small screen that was close to my eyes. But once I realized that’s not true because I can place the screen down in the room and when I walk up to it, it gets bigger so it’s not just a illusion like the Nreal Air or other video glasses.
04:39 I got a Vive in 2017 and experienced the motion sickness effect exactly one time, and from then on it was only intentional because getting my VR Legs was easy enough so I noticed right away what was wrong in the game I was playing. In that case it was simply that the camera was slightly off center when turning L/R with the trackpads so your character doesn't quite move right.
This was such a great video. Maybe now I’ll stop asking you to tell the OLED and QD OLED OEMs to give me back my 3D.
Conventional reviews all echo the same stuff. This video was refreshing. Thanks!
Loved the Jon Prosser call out. One of my favorite RUclipsrs being mentioned by another one of my favorite RUclipsrs is always a special moment!
did you tried the Bigscreen Beyond
Thanks, I wish to see top 5 along with this if you buy it.
nice teaser setup Sir kept me watching
Oh my god! Imagine if you did a TV review of the big dome in Las Vegas! Inside and outside screens!!!!
Caleb - another outstanding video. Real world commentary mixed with the technical know how we expect. Really well put regarding Apple Vision’s potential place in the future and your need to buy one as a “responsible” reviewer. Keep um coming!
I was hoping for more detail on how the video quality was. Did it look like you were watching 720P content, 1080P content or 4k content on that cinema screen? That's all I really care about. I'm used to my 4k oled now, I don't think I can handle going back to 1080P.
I haven’t turned my TV on in weeks since getting the Vision Pro.
makes two of us
Same.
Is the pass through not working so you can't find the remote?
@@danyunowork😂😂😂
Enjoy eating Ze bugs and living in the pod consumer
I used to use a projector a lot for movie's and computer games that was great. VR headsets do the same thing very well, but the difference is unless you are in a R chat or horizons or something, VR tends to be for one person, but the projector is a shared experience.
Don't forget about BigScreen VR. Some of my favorite VR experiences have been watching movies with other people on their.
I've got it but never really used it..@@sonicsnake44
This is a really thoughtful review. You were wise to avoid an N+1 review of the speeds and feeds. Plenty of those as you said. This was a truly value-added review.
Thanks for this “review”. It was definitely the review I was waiting for. I currently use HD panel OLED glasses (Rokid Max) for 3D Blu-ray viewing. It’s great to hear that we are advancing in the right direction and will no doubt have the ultimate personal theatre movie viewing experience within a couple of product generations.
Thanks for the shout ❤️
Can you airplay the sound to a physical multi speaker system ? Like a true (not virtual) 5.1 or a even an Atmos 7.1.2 ?
Sadly no. The AirPods Pro work way better than expected though.
@@RickWilliams84 Thanks !
Hello.
You mentioned the brightness, the Vision Pro uses "Pancake" optics, these in themselves absorb a lot of light on their own, so the OLED panels in the headset are considerably brighter than the light making it to your eyes.
Also, "Spatial Audio", another great way of experiencing this is a game on SteamVR called "Half Life Alyx", this is probably the best game ever made for VR, the audio is insane, in a darkened area in the game, you can hear little sounds (left say to the right rear of you) and you will turn around just to find out there is nothing there, it adds so much to the immersion and the experience.
Great review of the Vision Pro by the way, I'm Canadian, it's not available here yet, but once it is, it'll be over $4700.00 Canadian before taxes, so this is one item that is forbiddingly expensive, I won't be getting this since I like keeping my body parts right where they are (none for sale)! LOL
Great video! In was waiting for someone to talk about this, because home theaters can cost a lot more (although many can watch them).
I think for watching movies on a plane or when you are by yourself, this experience is unique.
I wish you had discussed apple’s videos, the ones that are immersive, like the rhino or the tight rope walker. I think that is a whole new genre of content.
Lastly, if you live alone and are debating between the G4 65” or 77” tv, there is a case to be made for the Vision Pro. IMO at least, I would get the Vision Pro, because of the extra potential.
Very well done video. Fantastic, realistic breakdown. 🤗
I would love an IMAX movie for the vision pro. Truly immersive experience.
there is an IMAX app for vision pro already. Its super good, its as if you are in IMAX itself
The IMAX app is shockingly good.
Will there be a way to watch my collection of 3D Blu-ray discs? Can Air pods Pro be used with AVP?
I use my AirPod pro with my AVP all the time.
I really do not understand how people accepted the introduction of color and sound in movies but reject higher frame rates.
Is it better than quest 3 ?
Just 1 more thing ? Love it. The apple reference
can i hook up a couple JL audio fathoms to the vision pro to get the tactile bass?
You can send audio from Vision Pro through Bluetooth to speakers, but it's hidden. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices and pair your speaker or speaker system there. Reportedly
works fairly well but it will warn you that the implementation is not 'optimized for Vision Pro'.
@12:00 sounds like user error. The scale is off the charts. Try playing a video in the photos app and placing the window way back in your room. Perhaps your room is too small? It sometimes feels like the walls of the room limit the screen size.
"it enables you to exuberantly enjoy a deeper connection to something that you love when you are already isolated or alone" that sounds so depressing 😂
Sure, but did you type that while commuting or sitting on the toilet?
Being alone is very welcome for some people.
We found the extrovert y’all 😂😂😂
@@theklrexactly. Sometimes you have to turn off all of the attention.
@@whophd Are you not isolated and alone when you’re sitting on the toilet?
What’s your point? 🤡
What's the background music in the video?
Interesting take. I've been doing film and video projection since 1985 (in many different formats) and the AVP impressed me greatly. I'm a big fan of the big screen, but I can certainly see displays like this being a huge part of home video. Just the 2D content I watched was watching looked superb. Did it feel like being in a huge cinema? No, but as you said, that might not matter. What mattered was the experience and being drawn into the content in a way that no TV has ever done for me. Some very good home theater projection has done that.
My wife asked if something with the quality of the AVP but without all the "computing" could be better than TV at about the same price as a good TV. I think so, and would certainly enjoy it. Add great 3D content to that and it would be very addicting.
Just picked up my Vision Pro and am having it ISF calibrated.
How is that possible?
Great review! However peak brightness only a few inches from the eyes may have unintended effects.
I know the vision pro is so expensive at this point that there is little focus on multiple people using it in the same room -- does it have tools/features for making it easy for multiple people in the same physical room to watch the same movie synched up in their vision pros to enjoy more of a collaborative experience?
So far that is not a feature of Vision pro but they could add it in a update.
9:55 what are examples which people made with different dubbing?
thank you. finally someone not trying to convince me that goggles are better than my TV. i have a G3 with the max Sonos setup and also own the Apple Vision Pro. watching Gravity in 3D on the vision pro on a plane was amazing, but at home I am never choosing the vision over the TV
The answer is 100% yes. I've had this thing since launch weekend and I've learned how to wear it to fit me well. Whether you want to watch a movie in 3D (Apple TV has a ton and Disney has all the Avatar/Marvel movies and a bunch of animated ones) or even just enjoy streaming on anything it's awesome, insanely immersive with Spatial audio and a theater sized TV.
The other thing I constantly use it for is when I use my Mac. Browsing RUclips or watching clips of anything is on a screen the size of your room. It's a delightful experience.
I would definitely love to try one of these out, and would likely buy one when they have a version out for around $1,000.
I think the comment about 3D taking off when 3D video is shot for the Vision Pro is interesting - The two Avatar movies were made for 3D, and shot with 3D cameras, and obviously were wildly popular mainly due to the spectacle, but even then, 3D movie making has not taken off - most “3D” movies are still conversions. I’m guessing it’s a lot more difficult to do, and have it look good, than you (or I) think, and as you should know, there’s no real demand for it for home viewing since I don’t think anyone makes 3D capable TVs anymore.
One thing I’d like to see is for Apple to allow this to work with PC VR software, like Steam VR, Open XR, or whatever. They’ve created the most high fidelity VR headset on the market, but they don’t even call it VR, and I haven’t heard of any popular VR games being adapted to the headset (lack of controllers doesn’t help). Without that, my only use case would be watching movies on vacation or something.
I read somewhere that Apple is working on Sharing the experience of watching movies together. Maybe in Vision OS 2.0
I didn't read all the comments so I don't know if anyone else brought this up, but needs to be mentioned is that for people who do not have the space for a proper home theater setup, the Apple Vision Pro is a great alternative even if it can't match the real thing in all respects.
Agree, I'd like to have a home theater setup for certain types of movies, but don't want to devote the space to it (we tend to turn spare rooms to exercise spaces).
I’m sure it can get close on the audio. When I watch a movie on my Apple TV 3k thorough my 7.3.2 Dolby atmos system, and then route the audio through my AirPods Max, it’s a very good approximation. Good enough where I had to check and make sure I wasn’t actually hearing the system. It can’t , however, reproduce the tactile feel of 3 subs, but other than that, it’s convincing.
I actually did a demo of this at my local Apple store and was blown away. But I do feel like there is an issue with it really feeling like a huge screen. One thing I think might help (and it may seem weird) but would be to put a thin frame around it. It may even be an option but I think it will make it feel more real than no edge to the screen.
Is it possible that the screen didn’t feel very large to you, because you didn’t see the light it emitted bounce around the room?
I like how you can go to so many new places and experience them visually but I’d prefer to do it in person though. I know most you can’t visit in person like the moon and space but to actually visit a location is TOTALLY different to seeing it on a screen.
Great expert content as always! 😊
Sorry to hear about your initial experience, but partly because I have my own device, my initial experience was magical and spectacular! And continues to be so, over a month later!
I have an awesome 83” Sony A1E, and arguably the best 3D TV ever: the 85” Sony X950B. And having seen many movies in top quality Dolby Cinema theaters as well as IMAX, of course in addition to my X950B with 250 movies in my Blu-ray 3D disc collection, I agree that the Vision Pro is hands-down the best way to watch 3D movies! 😊
Note that although it was a little tricky, the experience excels when you pair Vision Pro with the AirPods Max! 😊 For sure, this combo will replace my home theater for 3D movie viewing. So much so that I modified my personal custom Media Center Apple TV app to be a true Vision Pro app (not the limiting iPad-compatible kind)!
Loved it!
Just got my set up and got the Apple Vision Pro a month ago and it’s better than my full theatre set up
Are the screen colors as vibrant on AVP vs your physical screen.
@@sonicsnake44 Dolby Vision HDR
True Cut Motion! You guys have fun with that.
The PSVR2 could actually function as that especially if Sony didn't use the fresnel pentile OLEDs but used their own super micro OLEDs that I believe the Vision Pro uses. I don't know the cost of that but if it was a matter of $100, it should have been incorporated.
Also Sony has some really good headphones with the Pulse Elite that are planar magnetic - they bought Audeze that made headphones that cost $4,500 so they can deliver sound that's second to none probably at this point.
So this could theoretically be done for much less but Sony kinda screwed the pooch with the PSVR2's OLED.
I actually bought Ps5 with the VR2 for the movie experience and I absolutely love it. Particularly when compared to PS4 VR1. I have some minor complaints but honestly the PS5 VR2 already gives me an awesome movie theater experience and sometimes I even forget I’m at home and not sitting in a theater. I really love it as it totally works for me.
So , now I’m really curious about VISION PRO for movies and I will buy it when the price comes down , but for now I’m more than happy with the movie experience I get on the PS5 VR2 , at least until I get one of these things.
Great video! I had a Vision Pro for a couple weeks and ultimately returned it because the lens glare/flare was just too much for me. Not everyone seems to note this and it makes me wonder if this was a phenomena maybe I'm just very sensitive to, perhaps the individual unit itself was worse than others, or perhaps the particular fit on my face made it more noticeable. This was definitely internal pancake lens reflections and not light bleed. Did you notice this much in your viewing?
I returned mine for the exact same reason. I kept thinking it was external light getting in until I kept experiencing the issue in an entirely dark room. It completely ruined the experience for me and ultimately led to my returning the device.
@@jmg5369 interesting that you had the same experience. It feels like someone is shining a flashlight at the lenses at some off angle. The Meta Quest 3 has a bit of this as well but it’s far less severe for me. The lenses on the Quest 3 are also much larger so I wonder if that or some other property of those lenses helps mitigate that.
I also experience glare in my AVP but it is nowhere near a deal breaker for me personally. The Cinema environment is the best solo movie watching experience I have ever had.
Varies by facial geometry and other factors, and will be the toughest thing for future pancake optics to overcome. A less dark environment helps a lot, but removes a key advantage. I’m fortunate that it doesn’t hit me much, yet I find the Quest 3 almost unusable due to glare - just luck of the draw in terms my face fitting the AVP better. (trying different facial interfaces can help) You do get used to it, but it’s a huge problem (seems to be exacerbated slightly by prescription lenses, too) Source: been working on the engineering side in the VR space since 2012.
It's easy to share the display of the AVP. Just Airplay it to the local smart tv.
Everyone else will get a 4k HDR image with whatever sound system they have, including Dolby Atmos. It isn't antisocial for sharing movies or RUclips videos, etc.
Or everyone could listen on AirPods for Dolby Atmos, for late night viewing.
10:07 is that cast away movie??
I wonder how the Apple Vision Pro compares with the Sony VR2. Now the two platforms are of course very different, only I wonder about the tech side ie. what the Sony and Apple hardware pros and cons are when comparing. Seems to me, that if Sony want to they could make the PS5+VR2 combo into something pretty special for move watching.
Also - in the past I have use the Google Daydream with a high phone as display, when traveling as it sure was way better than watching a movie on a hotel TV. There was a Netflix app for the Daydream and it did a pretty good job, so even with "primitive" tech watching movies via VR for sure has merits. However back then and still now using VR for anything is a solo experience or at the most, it is like a multi-player experience not a sitting together on a couch or in a cinema experience - and it being anything but that is miles away.
11:52 Perhaps you’re not using the special movie mode? When you’re just in the immersive environment watching a video, it maxes out at an apparent size of about 10 feet wide, 10 feet away from you.
The real immersion and scale comes when you click on the center of the video window (iTunes or AppleTV+) then click the environments that appear in the top left corner. If you’re in Mt Hood, you get options for Mt Hood Light, Mt Hood Dark, and Cinema. Those are absolutely convincing to me, my favorite is Cinema.
There are 6 different positions you can view in the Cinema but if you’re in the Front Row watching I’d say it looks about 15 feet tall and 30 feet wide. It’s absolutely convincing to me, I keep looking for the emergency exit sign.
Yeah seems like he just tried the Disney+ app which makes the screen big but not like the IMAX app or the cinema mode on Apple TV+. Would like him to trie that and update his thoughts about it. Caleb is kind of old lol so we should give him time to get the hang this new tech. Hopefully he continues to test this device while keeping up with normal tv things.
i found the true cut motion VRR really annoying in avatar. After a smooth scene it switch back to low FPS and you notice the stutter even more. Each time it switch it reminds you of it
I have a RTX 4090 and would like to use its super powers. Can it be plugged into my PC or directly into the GPU displayport or hdmi? oh and plonk on my Maxwell Audeze headphones and its 80 hours non-recharge time, Dolby Atmos & DTS .. I just want a comfortable VR that can use the hardware of my super PC to make a VR go into truly PRO mode
I tried the PS5 head set and wanted to love it but couldn't go for more than about 3 mins without feeling nauseous then had that feeling for about an hour and half more .... sent it back ... was wondering if I would have the same problem with this sort of device
You're supposed to keep using the headset and the nausea will go away over time.
3 minutes doesn't mean anything.
🤣🤣🤣
I suppose I could of kept going but it didnt feel worth it to feel that sick every time I put it on ... oh well guess its not for me @@PSYCHOV3N0M
3 minutes? 😂 What the heck.
the psvr2 is the worst headset i tried.
Maybe the impression of a large screen feeling like a small screen close to your eyes had to do with the headset not being calibrated for you. I haven't tried one but even in older VR headsets I get a good impression of a having a large screen and this should be way better.
Never tried humble pie...What does it taste of then? Is it sweet or savoury? 🤔😆
Why weren’t you able to have your friend reset the device for factory settings to reset the device for your ipd?
