Heat and condensation build up is a complete non-issue due to the built in fans! I've never once felt hot or stuffy inside the Vision Pro, and I totally do on other VR headsets.

I don't really look at my keyboard while typing so that's also a non-issue. For stuff where you really need hand-eye coordination it's totally fine at normal arms-length but gets worse as you get closer to your face. Finding a key on the keyboard with your eyes is not a big deal but if you try to drink from a glass of water you'll likely spill it on yourself the first time (and then eventually get used to it).



Is that because the ‘warping’/offset used to try to hide the cameras not being right where your eyes actually are starts to lose its effectiveness?

I wondered about that.

Great to hear about heat. That was always an issue for me in other headsets.


To be honest I'm not entirely sure what reprojection is like on the final device or even if it exists at all, so my experience might be off. There may have been things that changed since I left and I'm not sure what the final plans were.


I didn’t necessarily mean reprojection but whatever ‘trick’ is done to hide that the cameras aren’t in the same physical location the users eyes are without the headset on.

Either way, very fair.


Right, parallax will be more noticeable the closer you move your hand to your face.


That’s the word. Thanks.


So you can pair bluetooth peripherals to it.. thats good to know, I assumed it but maybe missed that in the initial preso (i was watching while in a meeting). That's one thing i hate about my index. It's impossible to drink a soda while wearing it without a straw, the geometry just isn't compatible.
