I tried the Vision Pro today at the apple store in Manhattan by Central Park. I used to own a quest pro, but I sold it a year ago since it was catching dust. My expectations were that the passthrough would almost be life like (or much better than oculus). Reality, I couldn't tell the difference. It still looked like I was watching life through a camera.

The UI was also a bit clumsy. I noticed bugs and even the apple employee was stunned how I got a window 'stuck' in a place. It became unresponsive.

Having said that, the 3d spatial videos were spectacular. I did feel like I was almost there. The 3d movies were also amazing and had fairly good colors. Overall it wouldn't replace an OLED tv, but it was impressive.

When I took it off, I was thankful of how clear I can see with my eyes. Everything seemed like '8k'. I guess the Vision Pro is fun, but it was a bit uncomfortable and not really AR imo
