Mixed Reality, Mixed Feelings: Dizzying? Pain in the neck? Numb Patch on head? Read on. #AppleVisionPro #VRFirstLook #FutureTech
Apple's Vision Pro, launched just last week, promises to usher in a new era of spatial computing. Intrigued, I headed to my local Apple Store for a hands-on demo, eager to see if this revolutionary device lives up to the hype.

And live up it did, at least initially. The visuals were stunning, the 3D space around me felt tangible, and placing virtual apps in my physical environment was pure magic. Reading in a floating window, browsing the web seamlessly integrated into my surroundings, and capturing memories in 3D - these were experiences unlike anything I'd ever had.

However, the honeymoon phase ended abruptly. The weight of the headset became noticeable after just 30 minutes, causing neck strain and fatigue. Even more concerning was the dizziness that lingered for 15 minutes after taking it off. The pressure from the headset also left a numb patch on my head, and my eyes felt strained despite using the provided prescription attachments.

While these limitations make me hesitant to envision myself using the Vision Pro in its current state, its potential is undeniable. The way it manipulated my senses, even tricking me into looking for a virtual window after taking it off, was fascinating. This tech has the power to reshape how we interact with the world, but it needs significant refinement before becoming truly mainstream.
