CTOnews.com, June 6 (Xinhua)-- Apple today officially unveiled its first space computer, the Vision Pro, a headset that combines virtual reality and augmented reality and runs the world's first space operating system, visionOS, at WWDC. 9to5Mac reporter had the honor to experience Vision Pro after the press conference. Here are his feelings and comments.

The process of setting up Vision Pro is very simple. You only need to scan the face and ears with iPhone 14 to set up facial recognition and spatial audio.

The shape and wearing style of the Vision Pro is similar to that of the AirPods Max, with a soft and breathable material and an adjustable headband, which is not light, but not uncomfortable. The reporter said that it is easy to adjust to a comfortable wearing position after wearing it. The battery part is external and can be put in the pocket.

After turning on the device, VisionOS will first display Apple's iconic "Hello" message, floating in space. Then the main view appears, similar to the honeycomb view on the Apple Watch, using eye gaze to move through the grid of the application. Not a single pixel can be seen on the 4K display, and even the edges of the content on both sides are clear.

Vision Pro relies entirely on eyes, gestures and voice, and the reporter called eye and gesture manipulation impressive. You can select an application by eye movement, zoom, scroll, and resize the window by clicking, kneading, and waving your fingers, and fast sliding of the wrist activates inertial scrolling, just like on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. After 30 minutes of experience, the reporter has become more accustomed to gesture manipulation. If you enter the wrong application, you can easily navigate back to the home screen by pressing the digital crown.

VisionOS allows users to open multiple applications and arrange them the way they want, similar to front-end scheduling on iPad, with a "window bar" at the bottom of each application to adjust its position, an arrow in the corner to resize each application, and to bring the window closer to you by tapping and pulling them closer with your fingers. For most people, the learning curve of gesture manipulation will be the most challenging aspect of Vision Pro, and you have to practice to master it, the reporter said.

Users can also adjust the degree of immersion through the digital crown and make video calls with other Vision Pro wearers through the Persona function.

The reporter also experienced the 3D version of Avatar 2 and was shocked by the sense of immersion. You can view the content in a floating window through Vision Pro and adjust it according to your preferences, and visionOS will automatically darken the area around the window. VisionOS provides a variety of environment options that allow users to view content according to their preferences. For example, watching movies in the cinema environment, watching sports events in the stadium environment, watching concerts in the music room environment, and so on.

The reporter also wore Vision Pro to watch the video of the NBA game, as well as the MLB game, the experience is "incredible". You can look up, down, left and right, and it feels like you're in a stadium.

On one side of the visionOS interface is a menu that expands to display "contacts, applications, and environments." After selecting the environment option, you will see an environment called "Mount Hood", which is completely immersive, surrounded by users on both sides and behind.

The photo app is a key part of the Vision Pro experience, where users can view the entire photo gallery and use gestures to select photos, scroll, zoom in and out, and so on. You can view the panoramic photos taken with iPhone around you, and the reporter saw two different panoramic iPhone photos taken on the shores of Iceland and Oregon. Vision Pro can also capture spatial photos and videos through a built-in 3D camera, allowing users to relive and immerse themselves in their favorite memories.

In addition, Vision Pro also supports some interactive experiences, such as interacting with butterflies and meeting dinosaurs. The reporter also saw an Apple Immersive Video demonstration, wrapped in a 180-degree view, feeling like he was over the city, at the bottom of the sea, in fields full of wildlife, and so on.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the comfort of the Vision Pro. As mentioned at the beginning, the process of installing and wearing the head display is simple and straightforward. After wearing the Vision Pro for about 30 minutes, the reporter said that the overall experience is better, the fabric is soft and breathable, there are a lot of pads around the eyes, and it feels comfortable to wear it on the head. But the head is still heavy, it is conceivable that it will feel tired after wearing it for a long time, the overall design reminds it of AirPods Max, and many materials are also very similar. In addition, the reporter did not develop any motion sickness within 30 minutes of wearing the Vision Pro.

In other aspects, the battery life is unknown because I only wore the Vision Pro for 30 minutes. The one connected to the external battery pack has no hindrance at all and can stand up and walk around, just put the battery pack in your pocket.

The author said that after experiencing Vision Pro, he called it an experience he had never had before. He believes that Vision Pro is the result of Apple's years of work in AR and VR, showing what an amazing experience hybrid reality can bring when it does very well in both hardware and software. Although the Vision Pro is not a popular product and costs as much as $3500 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 24885 yuan), it will provide an opportunity for Apple to explore more possibilities in this market.
