Are you using the VP enough to still justify the price tag?
What upgrades/changes would a 2. gen need for you to consider getting it?
I love how everyone that’s answering has all these hot takes and doesn’t own one when you specifically asked for answers from owners…
I have one. It’s awesome. The screen mirroring from Macs alone is worth it. The weight isn’t as bad as people claim but it is notable. Future versions will be better just by virtue of being lighter. I don’t use mine every day for productivity but I watch a lot of movies on it (especially 3D content) and it’s way better than watching on those old 3D TVs with the glasses. I use it mostly for recording spatial video for clients and we’re planning on buying more spatial cameras because of the success of that.
Gen 2 upgrades for me? Just keep making the battery life longer and keep making it lighter and slimmer, just like the evolution of iPhones and whatnot. Also, probably just a software update but a few of our team have one and it would be nice to share immersive environments/apps. Everyone is siloed in their own view currently.

just wondering what the applications for this are? industrial stuff?
No, but it’s commercial production. We do 3D video production.
No, it’s not worth it (yet) Yes, I would buy it again 😆 My favorite part of it is 3d movies. The most useful aspect is using it as a monitor for my 14” MBP. I’m really looking forward to the updates in visionOS 2 for this. What I’d really like to see in Gen2:
- better low-light performance, so I can watch movies while my partner sleeps
- less weight/bulk
- no useless front screen (unnecessary bulk & expense)
- USB-C support for the power so u can use 3rd party batteries, or directly power it without the battery
- more comfortable double strap
- floppy drive
floppy drive
5.25" or 8"?
Am I misremembering or did they say you could use it in the dark? I thought it was using infrared to light up your hands and track itself.

Or without front glass because it’s stupid.

None of the people that own one that I know and none of the ones that we bought for our company use have had this issue. I’m convinced it’s from people setting it down on the front glass instead of using the provided cover.
The issue with VR headsets is the bulkiness. I have not tried the VP myself, but having used VR a lot in the past, the tech just isn’t there yet. Imagine carrying a mac mini on your head because currently it’s exactly that.
