Hey everyone!
After wearing the Apple Vision Pro M5 for a while, I get those big red linings on my face, has anyone found a headstrap, accessory, or DIY solution that makes the headset feel like it’s “floating” so those red marks can be avoided, especially when using it for longer sessions.
Any recommendations or tips are much appreciated!
Thanks
In Mark Gurman’s article from a month ago he outlined John’s fairly risk averse nature, highlighting also the car and home technology. I don’t think it’s all bad news for Vision Pro but it’s a bit of a shame that he wasn’t a driving force behind it, as that would’ve been a great sign of things to come.
It's not officially sold here and available only at Apple, which doesn't ship internationally. Also didn't have much luck on ebay. I'll, obviously, cover all the costs.
So I got to try Spatial Ops: Campaign Edition on the Apple Vision Pro and I have to say it’s one of the most interesting takes on a single-player FPS in Vision Pro so far!
You’re basically defending Earth while portals open up around your actual room, so enemies come at you from different directions and you have to physically turn and react. It’s not just standing in one spot aiming forward
Visually it looks REALLY clean on Vision Pro (I played this on the Quest 3 before) , especially with how it blends into your space. Definitely feels like it’s taking advantage of the hardware more than most things I’ve tried.
It also requires spatial controllers (like PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers), which actually helps a lot with tracking and makes the shooting feel more precise and gives a good haptic feedback 💪🏾
It’s still early days for this type of gameplay, but this feels like a step in the right direction for more action-heavy experiences on Vision Pro!

this is so frustrating. transferring a large transfer and it cancels. doing it via files sucks because you have to pay for icloud
From 9to5Mac:
>The Mandalorian & Grogu director Jon Favreau was interviewed by Matt Belloni during CinemaCon in Las Vegas recently.
>
>During the interview, Favreau named Apple Vision Pro as consumer technology used by him to help create the latest Star Wars movie.
>
>Specifically, Favreau highlights the benefits of using consumer tech to create movies because of the rate of innovation compared to more niche technology:
>
>"There’s a lot of great gaming tech that’s being innovated. There was so little innovation around motion capture because there was only a handful of us using MotionBuilder. The doors flung open with gaming."
>
>"When you visited our set, we were using gaming hardware to drive a pre-production mo-cap splash pre-vis pipeline. Because now those are consumer-facing products, you see tremendous innovation in them. Just like we use the Apple Vision Pro on set."
>
>In the case of Apple Vision Pro, the mixed reality headset is basically the director’s sole viewpoint into framing up shots for IMAX from the set.
>
>"So I’m making an IMAX movie and I’m looking at a TV screen. No matter how big your TV screen is, it’s not an IMAX screen. We built software so that I could pop on my Apple Vision Pro and be sitting in an IMAX movie theater and see the full aspect ratio when you’re lining a shot up."
>
>"I could watch that take and see what people will see. That’s a piece of technology that existed without us. We did a little bit of a software build on top of it, but we’re leveraging in an industrial capacity consumer facing tech."
When the TV app is selected to be viewed in an environment (or cinema mode), the screen is fixed to align with the floor of the room you are in - even if you are laying on your back. Is there a way to prevent this so I can control the plane the screen sits on?
How is support for the device coming along? Anything new and exciting since launch?
Hi all,
Here's a link to a cloud drive with publicly available 3D trailers that you can enjoy on your Quest 2/3.

I prefer to use my AVP while sitting in my living room, while my home office is about 25 feet away. When I want to use Mac Virtual Display, I would have to go into my office to wake up my Mac mini and grab its keyboard to bring it back to the living room.
I have wanted a portable keyboard to take on the road with my AVP anyways, so I purchased this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKTFGQ5Z?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1. By the way, this one has backlit keys! They turn on when you hit any key, and then turn off when you stop typing.
Today, I had the AVP on in the living room, and reached for this keyboard. And I thought "darn, I forgot to wake up the Mac mini". But I turned on the keyboard, and it appeared to wake up the Mac, and then my Apple Watch unlocked my Mac from 25 feet away. I was able to jump into Mac Virtual Environment without the round trip to/from my office first. It is the little things, solving a first world problem, that make the Apple ecosystem enjoyable.

Put my AVP on today and 20 minutes in it rebooted while on my face for the first time and now wifi connects but says "no internet connection". This happens on all wifi connections including my cellular hotspot. Called apple and was told they couldn't help me because it can't connect to the internet for diagnostics and I need to visit my nearest retail store (3 hours away). Has anybody experienced this and figured out how to get back online?
Last year we got support for PSVR2 controllers. It is time to bite the bullet, Apple, and start to support the largest 6DoF controller manufacturer – Meta. Thank you and good night.
Hey!
Does anyone here use an Insta360 8K camera, or something similar, together with the Apple Vision Pro?
I’m curious about the image quality and how smooth the workflow is. Is it basically plug and play? As in, record with the Insta360, transfer the footage to the Apple Vision Pro, and watch it right away? Or does it require extra conversion, editing, or specific apps/settings?
Would love to hear from anyone with firsthand experience. Thanks!
I just made the leap yesterday. During the demo, while viewing the photos of someone else’s random kids (or child actors), made me a little emotional because all I could think about is how it would be fantastic if I had photos of winced past relatives. I didn’t know what I didn’t know I suppose. Now that I do know, I want to be able to create a catalogue of immersive content (including panoramas and anything else) that I can keep for myself and for those who come after me. To me, it’s a bit like recording content for the holodeck…. Any best practices? Apps? Tips?
Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone else having issue updating their first gen VisionPro recent days. I’ve been having issues every .x update since 26.1 it will just stuck at updating forever. I took it to Apple forced an update from 26.1 to 26.2, then had to do it again from 26.2 to 26.3. and now it stuck at 26.3 to 26.4. I am just wondering what’s going on here. Should I wait for a solution? I don’t want to keep going back to Apple Store for this, it takes a lot of time in there, so much small talks, and every time I go they wiped my VisionPro clean I have to restore everything…
thanks!
