Just a heads up guys. VR forces the eyes to do is as if it is looking at objects in the distance. So Myopia is not relevant with regards to VR. The vision pro will actually alleviate these issues, at it will replace time spent on phones and flat screens.
That was my understanding too. I thought VR lenses simulate as if a screen was 6 feet away and was hoping that the opticians would be able to speak on that.
There is accommodation-vergence conflict, your brain is perceiving depth based on vergence or crossing of eyes in this product. The accomidation aspect which is your lens making micro adjustments to focus the image onto the retina. The disagreement with reality will cause a neurological problem.
As an optometrist i must tell you if your eyes need uv to breathe too, just like we need oxygen to breathe. We need to reduce it, not to stop like 100%
I will say this. I’ve used this device for about 2-3 hours at a time and I have a -7.5 prescription. Using the Zeiss lenses is amazing since they just magnetically attach into vision pro. So far it’s really a one of a kind experience, and I have only experienced mild eye strain from long term use. But I know that everyone’s experience will be different. But we will definitely find out once the product hits the open market and more people get to test it and experience the spatial environment and VR environment
@@smittycal That's what I thought too, but another RUclipsr said you couldn't use it while charging. After your comment, I checked the Apple website and saw that that other guy was either lying or speaking in terms of it being unrealistic for gaming or something. Either way, sorry.
@@JaredWeide-gw6vg no worries. There’s are a lot of things whirling around online that I’ve seen. And to be fair it’s hard to tell exactly what it will do unless you have hands on experience with it. And just for clarity, the battery has an external USBC that you can use to plug into the wall/ power outlet.
It's a nice video, but the one thing I'm curious about is: Yes, the screen is right in front of your eyes, but the virtual things you'll be looking at are much further, so your eyes are actually focusing on far away objects. So in that sense it should actually be much better for your eyes than a smartphone or PC... so does that hold up? Do the eyes actually focus on virtual things as if they were far away? Or is the fact that the screen is close to your eyes actually bad for you?
@@Some__Rando OP is right - headsets themselves don't induce myopia, it's about the distance of the object they project. Just an uninformed discussion in the video.
Hisham knows his stuff. You too Rob. Great to get your perspective as Opticians. It’s expensive technology so good to get your future final verdict - on the best eyewear channel on RUclips 😊
Very interesting. These devices will over time be very valuable for people with reduced eyesight. I look forward already to the video where you will introduce it
Your concerns about myopia induction from close screens in headsets betrays a misunderstanding of how eyes focus on objects. The photons originating from a source closer to the eyeballs does not automatically mean they induce more strain. Since the screens of the headset are optically isolated from one another, they allow representation of faraway objects the user can focus on without strain. Thus, it depends on the application. I would argue the average object represented with a headset will be farther away from the user than the average screen today.
As an optometrist I appreciate you doing these always informative videos. This time I was stumbling about sth: you were simulating Glasses by VR (until Covid)? Which app did you use? I didn't find anything clever (for android) when I opened my store 5 Years back, so I barely used the VRone since. I'd be very happy to see it reactivated, even if this means I'd have to get an iPhones for this one.
It was Zeiss software which you needed an access link to download. But sadly it's been completely removed and even if you have it installed as we do, it doesn't function 🫤 I argued and argued with them about it, but big companies like Zeiss don't listen to small companies like ours.
@@thespectaclefactory so I will ask for it to be reactivated, too. All the time I hoped so hard something like this would be developed! No matter how many words we use and how many pictures we show about qualities and progressionzone, nothing can convince more than seeing the differences "with own eyes". And now that I know it already exists anywhere, I really want to have access. Hoping it's still offline only to update the new SL/ indi 3 portfolio.
I wear contacts for myopia, but now as I've gotten older I've become presbyopic and require readers for up-close vision. With the Apple Vision Pro, it's a screen in front of your eyes. Will my eyes with contacts be able to focus on that, or will I need Zeiss inserts with a low prescription like my readers?
Strange... I thought it was convergence that irritated peoples eyes looking at monitors, which is different to headsets. Headsets having individual screens per eye means your vision is looking into infinity
Exactly. Honestly, this coming from a UK healthcare provider is kind of shocking. They should do better research before speculating off the cuff (and wrongly).
Hi Robert, I just discovered The Spectacle Factory in my search for glass lenses, and you champion ZEISS as a high-quality lens manufacturer. My request is off-topic for the video, but I would like to know which other lens manufacturers you recommend since finding ZEISS lenses is more challenging outside Europe. I greatly appreciate your videos; they've guided my quest for clearer vision.
We recommend Hoya as the next best option, but we do offer worldwide shipping if you'd like the Zeiss lenses. Email us at hello@thespectaclefactory.com and we'll help you get your perfect pair!
Fantastic video combining two of my favourite topics: glasses and Apple! 😀 Just out of interest, what AR coating are you both wearing in this video? ZEISS DuraVision Platinum UV?
Spacial computing ?😭 apple will never admit but it’s a vr/ar headset!!!! It’s literally the same thing idk apple headset seems very lonely , where meta headsets are all about social connections and moving around a lot I wonder why apple didn’t show two ppl in the same room using the headset idk seems lonely to me
because this isn’t a social media platform at it’s base, which is what the quest is, being that it did come from a company with a social media background and current platforms. As of current, this isn’t meant to be walking around places with it, and I mean, neither is the Quest, it has similar battery life and has warnings to not take it out in direct sunlight.. This isn’t a social media platform, Vision Pro is a computer at its core. It gives you new ways to explore, and interact with your every day apps. This also allows for hundreds of iPad and iPhone apps to run on it without any extra setup by you or the developer. They already have a larger app store than Oculus and it’s not even released yet. The functionality of the Quest is for gaming, that’s at its forefront. Vision Pro is to get work done and enjoy entertainment and your apps in new ways and new experiences coming along the way. Give it a few years or even less than one, and you’ll see social connections becoming bigger on this. We already have things that others don’t have. Such as Facetime, Real Time document collaboration, Shareplay with music, favorite apps like tiktok, streaming services with others. That’s a whole lot more than what you could do with Quest. I can’t watch the same movie with someone sitting next to me, but on Vision Pro I can, and i’ll still be able to see them sitting next to me, while Quest is fully in VR missing real life interactivity. Y’all are missing the point of this. Every headset that has come out before has always focused on… VR.. this headset is focused on AR, and yes even Tim Cook the CEO says that it’s an AR platform. That’s the big difference with this, and no one has done AR like this before, this is the next step of evolution needed to bring AR into a class of its own.
@@KreAtorGames you have made some good points … BUT I’m sorry to say apple should have waited … I do truly believe apple Vision of AR is the future..just not in the form factor of a vr headset that is not the future no one will wear these big headsets just to use AR they should have started with fully Vr in my opinion according to apple this isn’t a vr headset but it totally is it’s still to big and bulky … the future of AR is glasses!! not a vr headset .. this is where I think apple is out of touch w reality the thing about meta is yes your right there focusing on gaming which makes there big and bulky headset ok to use bc it’s fully immersive and I’m playing games but with apple they want u to work in this thing I don’t see ppl doing that unless it was in a form factor of a pair glasses not a bulky vr headset I think apple should have waited to come out with something smaller or if they were starting out in a vr form factor why not add more you know actually things u can do in vr instead of just looking at more screens.
I have vision issues and asked these type questions. They said that currently the vision pro can not magnify real world views. It is not clear if it can do the contrast enhancements, but it was clear that apps will not have access to the camera in the way needed for this. Apple would need to do it for privacy reasons.
It wasn’t out of the blue. Everyone knew it was coming, everyone knew it would run its own OS. Its spacial computing yes but thats what xr= VR/AR is. Apples marketing branding doesn’t change the technology. They just put all the bells and whistles on it with a hefty price tag. Yes impressed they actually went for it but on a practical note apple is usually behind the curve on giving new tech to their people. Usually they polish the old stuff really nicely and charge you more. This is an exception so im waiting to try it out with their apple polish.
While the spacial computing is nothing new by itself, Hololens demoed it all the way back in 2015, it has largely been ignored by the VR/AR industry at large. Microsoft's WMR Portal hasn't received any serious updates in about four years, SteamVR never had that kind of functionality to begin with outside of third party add-ons and Oculus has been pretty lackluster here as well, especially with the QuestPro that could have replicated most stuff Apple has shown, but instead settled on just reusing the Quest2 UI and largely ignore its own eye tracking. Apple's approach of making 2D content a priority and largely ignoring the fully immersive aspects of VR has been refreshing and is pretty much the complete opposite of what the VR industry has been doing, which for the last 10 years focused on fully immersive 3D games and treat passthrough mode and 2D window control as an afterthought at best.
I always thought 3D experiences don’t work well for me. It could be because of astigmatism and my right eye is a bit “underdeveloped” and never really focus. My brain fixes it somehow tho. Do you think Vision Pro would still work for me? Astigmatism is quite an issue for such bright close screens, isn’t it? Also, do you think convergence issues, like in 3D cinema, could be solved by Apple?
Indeed, this technology has kilotons of potential, from immuring oneself in a virtual reality eutopia to helping the blind. Heck, several VR headset type devices already exist to assist the blind. It's currently impossible to see if virtual reality will cause the same risk of eye strain as garden variety screens close up, but if such strain does not occur all that much, we could eventually get virtual ''vacations''. Such tech would allow reverse time travel, visiting parallel universes, etc without breaking the laws of physics.
Considering it’s taken 50years since the first ar/vr device was created until this headset was released by apple. Furthermore it’s taken 146 years since Alexander Graham Bell 1876 invented the telephone for phone/mobile phone to to get to the form it’s in today, the iPhone etc. so to think this headset is going to replace the mobile phone within a few years is ridiculous and totally totally unrealistic!. This is not just my view it’s the view of industry experts, academics and scientists!!. Until we can can fit an iPhone, M2 max Mac Studio, tv and camera into the form factor of a pair of ray ban sunglasses it’s simply not happening!. Battery technology alone means it’s not possible then you have to revolutionise cooling, component scale etc. plus it’d make apple a one product company because it’d mean they stop selling the iPhone, mac, mac pro’s, iPads and just sell one product Rolled into one. So yes decades upon decades upon decades away from that I’m afraid!. Furthermore anyone thinking this is the future just simple isn’t looking far enough into the future. The future is holographic projection..so we’ll have a standard pair of glasses or something resembling the glasses you have there with cameras in them etc. but those those cameras, sensors will project what the apple visor pro does into the world infront of you without the need for any lenses or screens!. It will be your iPhone, iPad, laptop, Mac Pro, mirrorless camera, navigation all built into one pair of standard size glasses. Hence we are at least 50years from that point. Because it’ll make apple a single product company and will need chip, component and battery tech to be generations and generations away from today. In terms of battery tech your talking thirty, fourty maybe fifty generations from today!. Considering the very very best battery they could attach to this lasts two hours max. Imagine powering your Mac Pro, MacBook pro, iPhone, iPad, main high resolution camera/video camera, navigation device all day non stop on a battery the size of glasses arm!. Clearly we’re decades and decades and decades from that point alone!.
few things. Battery technology is and has been changing. Reports show we could be moving to different kinds of processes and materials for batteries changing them entirely. Fitting all that tech into small slim glasses is a feat of course, thats why the google glasses failed, because of its obtrusive look. But with Apple behind all the tech inside as well, I can see it coming. They’re already working on 3nm chips for the new upcoming iphone 15, down from 5nm process. Soon we will be working with atoms and that technology could be right around the corner. Especially with Apple’s ingenuity. Their chips are already the smallest, most powerful, and most battery efficient and thermal efficient chips out there. Apple is on the right track if you ask me..
A project screen will be able to do the same things and in the long run is way better on the eyes. It's not realistic to be wearing these kinds of things on your head for more than 1 or 2 hours at most.
In my opinion. Bulky to wear & It takes a toll to wear it for longer hours. I Rather use Monitors. It will be helpful for research or entertainment but not for daily use. Just another extension of your traditional computer and will not replace desktops & laptops
Spatial Computing is Apples word for AR and Machine Learning is their word for AI me personally this device is not for me I'll stick to my PlayStation VR2 as I have no interest in a device that cost £3500 just because its got a updated screen made by Sony and its not coming to the UK until next year so Meta Quest 3 its around the same power in teraflops as the M2 is 3.2 teraflops i would rather pay £499 and get a similar device just at a lower rresolution that's more established and already has AR apps and games
oh honey… you’re not a computer technician are you? Teraflops means nothing.. The Quest and Playstation VR are the equivalent of sticking an android phone to your face, speed wise. Vision Pro is strapping a whole MacBook Pro to your face, far more powerful. and don’t even get me started on fidelity.. sorry but the screen door effect is real and annoying, apple vision pro solves that. established means nothing when this has been out for 4+ years and still only a library of 500+ apps? that’s sad.. iPad has a library of 1,000,000+ apps and they already work on the Vision Pro.
@@KreAtorGames but it’s still 3.6 Teraflops and will only sell 400,000 units as Apple recently said they are only shipping 400,000 units if the headset and I don’t know about any screen door effect on my PSVR2 headset at all and I’ve got both Sony headsets and a few others so I know a bit about VR and AR tech all Apple are doing is the same thing as Quest Pro but with their own software and at a higher resolution but I would bet you £1000 that it could not even deliver half the graphical capabilities of a PlayStation 5 and most people don’t care about working in AR or VR most people but headsets for AR or VR games and social VR apps and I own a lot of Apple products including a MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iPad, track pad and more and even apple are saying they don’t expect to outsell any other headset until their next version of the headset which will cut down and probably be the better selling headset
@@jdarg4163 I’ve heard they’re only doing 150,000 units. I think it’s all speculation and they could still be doing 1 mil units… stop listening to the news dude.. You just don’t understand what the screen door effect is yet.. yes the new PSVR2 is comparable, but it still has the issues. I want to be able to look through that screen as if it were glasses, and that’s what apple has accomplished. This isn’t a gaming headset, is a productivity and entertainment headset, that is FULLY primarily AR. And as far as im concerned, no company has done AR correctly, until apple has delivered it with the Apple Vision Pro. The M2 chip can run miles round whatever android chip every other headset uses. Like I said, this isn’t a consumer product, they’re not expecting to see a billion units, They trying to get the early adopters and developers to hop on first. can you figure that out?
The biggest issue with the VIsion Pro is that it doesn't support glasses wearers. So if you have a high presecription you won't be able to use it, or you'll have to put on contact lenses every time you want to use them, which would be very annoying.
The Vision Pro will support people who wear glasses. As part of the process of ordering them, you will either provide Apple with your prescription information or they will assist you with figuring it out. Then that information will be sent to Zeiss which will custom make lenses designed to be inserted into the Vision Pro.
That’s not true. It does support glasses users. You can order Zeiss prescription lenses for the device and they attach in front of the digital monitors.
@@eastmanwebb5477they don’t need to be inserted, they just magnetize on. so say you had a guest over needing no glasses, you can pop them out easy. Which also allows for you to upgrade them as eye vision changes over time.
It will ruin your dignity 😂😂😂 AR is the dumbest concept ever. Truly a stupid idea. Not even taking into account the absolutely laughable cost of $3500 for something I wouldn't take for free. 😂😂
Just a heads up guys. VR forces the eyes to do is as if it is looking at objects in the distance. So Myopia is not relevant with regards to VR. The vision pro will actually alleviate these issues, at it will replace time spent on phones and flat screens.

i am skeptical. nothing will be better than the real thing
There is accommodation-vergence conflict, your brain is perceiving depth based on vergence or crossing of eyes in this product. The accomidation aspect which is your lens making micro adjustments to focus the image onto the retina. The disagreement with reality will cause a neurological problem.
Sorry bro both my eyes strained from the comment “ vr forces the eyes to do is as if it is” hard to read that line
The Apple Vision Pro may be the best sun glasses in the world. It completely protects your eyes from uv rays.
Haha
And you can probly use your prescription to alter the output
As an optometrist i must tell you if your eyes need uv to breathe too, just like we need oxygen to breathe. We need to reduce it, not to stop like 100%

Imagine powering your Mac Pro, MacBook pro, iPhone, iPad, main high resolution camera/video camera, navigation device all day non stop on a battery the size of glasses arm!. Clearly we’re decades and decades and decades from that point alone!.
few things. Battery technology is and has been changing. Reports show we could be moving to different kinds of processes and materials for batteries changing them entirely.
Fitting all that tech into small slim glasses is a feat of course, thats why the google glasses failed, because of its obtrusive look. But with Apple behind all the tech inside as well, I can see it coming. They’re already working on 3nm chips for the new upcoming iphone 15, down from 5nm process. Soon we will be working with atoms and that technology could be right around the corner. Especially with Apple’s ingenuity. Their chips are already the smallest, most powerful, and most battery efficient and thermal efficient chips out there. Apple is on the right track if you ask me..
6:46 just to be clear: don't wear the Vision Pro on a bike
Exactly :)
I could not find a pleasant voice audio experience in the whole video. It seemed overproduced or over modulated, mechanical. So I closed it.
Love how Hisham tolerates your inferior apple knowledge 😂
A project screen will be able to do the same things and in the long run is way better on the eyes. It's not realistic to be wearing these kinds of things on your head for more than 1 or 2 hours at most.
I tend to agree!

Welcome :)
In my opinion. Bulky to wear & It takes a toll to wear it for longer hours. I Rather use Monitors. It will be helpful for research or entertainment but not for daily use. Just another extension of your traditional computer and will not replace desktops & laptops
just lie back on your couch arm rest or in bed with a pillow…headset then weighs almost nothing and you can work while in bed
Even without the battery, it weighs more than Quest 2.
Spatial Computing is Apples word for AR and Machine Learning is their word for AI me personally this device is not for me I'll stick to my PlayStation VR2 as I have no interest in a device that cost £3500 just because its got a updated screen made by Sony and its not coming to the UK until next year so Meta Quest 3 its around the same power in teraflops as the M2 is 3.2 teraflops i would rather pay £499 and get a similar device just at a lower rresolution that's more established and already has AR apps and games
oh honey… you’re not a computer technician are you?
Teraflops means nothing.. The Quest and Playstation VR are the equivalent of sticking an android phone to your face, speed wise. Vision Pro is strapping a whole MacBook Pro to your face, far more powerful. and don’t even get me started on fidelity.. sorry but the screen door effect is real and annoying, apple vision pro solves that.
established means nothing when this has been out for 4+ years and still only a library of 500+ apps? that’s sad.. iPad has a library of 1,000,000+ apps and they already work on the Vision Pro.
@@KreAtorGames but it’s still 3.6 Teraflops and will only sell 400,000 units as Apple recently said they are only shipping 400,000 units if the headset and I don’t know about any screen door effect on my PSVR2 headset at all and I’ve got both Sony headsets and a few others so I know a bit about VR and AR tech all Apple are doing is the same thing as Quest Pro but with their own software and at a higher resolution but I would bet you £1000 that it could not even deliver half the graphical capabilities of a PlayStation 5 and most people don’t care about working in AR or VR most people but headsets for AR or VR games and social VR apps and I own a lot of Apple products including a MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iPad, track pad and more and even apple are saying they don’t expect to outsell any other headset until their next version of the headset which will cut down and probably be the better selling headset
@@jdarg4163 I’ve heard they’re only doing 150,000 units. I think it’s all speculation and they could still be doing 1 mil units… stop listening to the news dude.. You just don’t understand what the screen door effect is yet.. yes the new PSVR2 is comparable, but it still has the issues. I want to be able to look through that screen as if it were glasses, and that’s what apple has accomplished. This isn’t a gaming headset, is a productivity and entertainment headset, that is FULLY primarily AR. And as far as im concerned, no company has done AR correctly, until apple has delivered it with the Apple Vision Pro. The M2 chip can run miles round whatever android chip every other headset uses. Like I said, this isn’t a consumer product, they’re not expecting to see a billion units, They trying to get the early adopters and developers to hop on first. can you figure that out?
Random question, but is Hisham Moroccan?
Nope!
Is this a chance for us to sue apple for millions of dollars I don’t think so
3400 ppi 😮
Amazing right!
@@thespectaclefactory The future is now
The Quest 2 ruined my eyes and my family sued Meta and we settled out of court.
i don’t see any news on that
@@KreAtorGames It wasn’t public. Duh.
The biggest issue with the VIsion Pro is that it doesn't support glasses wearers. So if you have a high presecription you won't be able to use it, or you'll have to put on contact lenses every time you want to use them, which would be very annoying.
This reminds me of when 3d glasses in cinemas was a thing, it would always look and feel weird having those on top of my normal glasses
I thought that it DID support eyeglass wearers by adding your prescription to the lens 🤷🏾
The Vision Pro will support people who wear glasses. As part of the process of ordering them, you will either provide Apple with your prescription information or they will assist you with figuring it out. Then that information will be sent to Zeiss which will custom make lenses designed to be inserted into the Vision Pro.
That’s not true. It does support glasses users. You can order Zeiss prescription lenses for the device and they attach in front of the digital monitors.
@@eastmanwebb5477they don’t need to be inserted, they just magnetize on. so say you had a guest over needing no glasses, you can pop them out easy. Which also allows for you to upgrade them as eye vision changes over time.
It will ruin your dignity 😂😂😂 AR is the dumbest concept ever. Truly a stupid idea. Not even taking into account the absolutely laughable cost of $3500 for something I wouldn't take for free. 😂😂
BS. You think Apple doesn't have experts on staff who are just as qualified as you?
Did you watch the video?
