WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.040 While I have put in my usual best effort to remain cloistered, 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:07.800 the Apple Vision Pro has been absolutely unavoidable 00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:12.440 in the news if you're even remotely connected to tech. So I already know all kinds of stuff about this thing, 00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:15.440 like someone apparently got Steam Link working on it 00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:18.720 so you can play your games with a gigantic screen. 00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.800 The good news is everything I've seen has made me more excited about this device. 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.920 If you were hoping for the PC guy just hates on the thing, 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:35.840 you'll probably have to wait for the full review over on LTT. For now, I just want to see these displays. 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.120 And good Lord, have they ever done a good job 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.560 of making this thing feel like a few thousand dollars? 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:43.840 Wow! 00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:50.960 Look, we develop a lot of merch around here, okay? And this is a really cool material. 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.480 Ifixit has done a teardown already, which I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. 00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:56.680 So I already know that removing the strap, 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.120 wow, really is that easy, which is important for, I don't know, 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:05.320 cleaning the device and also for swapping out to one of the other straps. 00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:11.440 That came off a bit more easily than I was expecting. To their credit, it's really easy to get a line, 00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:14.920 really fast to put back in place. I do like the magnetic mount, man. 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.720 The materials, they feel really good. It's got almost like a gel filled kind of feel 00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:23.800 for the face cushion. This is my first time putting on a spatial computer. 00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:30.080 Oh, one sec. Okay, I really wanted that to go a lot more gracefully. 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:36.440 Ooh, it pumps against the bridge of the nose 00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:41.120 a little bit there, which could be a concern for certain experience, but if you're using it 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.280 to expand your Mac with a virtual desktop, 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:51.000 then that's less likely to be an issue. And I've gotta say, even though I have seen some users 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.320 talking about wearing it without the light seal, 00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.640 just to get it in closer to their face and closer to their eyes to help with the weight distribution 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.040 and the field of view, I don't really feel at least initially 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.960 like that's necessary. Maybe part of it is that a lot of the press 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.480 and a lot of the users who are covering this are not VR enthusiasts necessarily, 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:17.480 but even though it's heavy, what they've done a really good job of is keeping the weight in quite close to the face, 00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:22.360 which is something I talked about in my big screen beyond review. Okay, what else we got in terms of accessories? 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.480 Does it include a charger? I love that some reviewers complained about messing up their hair. 00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:33.720 Not an issue for me, baby. Ah, your size, but more cushiony. 00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.160 Oh, that's something I wanna try. I'll have to see how it affects FOV before I make a decision, but that is more comfortable. 00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:43.520 Ah, the other band. So my understanding is this one's a touch heavier, 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.960 but is a little bit easier to kind of get it on there. Let's try the dual loop band real quick. 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.280 Not gonna lie, guys. There's no denying that this costs a lot of money, 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.200 but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is overpriced. 00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:01.120 We've known Apple has been working on a mixed reality headset for many years. 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.400 Somebody's gotta pay for all that research and development. And like them or not, this has got a MacBook in it. 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.960 It's got an M2 processor with an eight core CPU and 10 core GPU along with their new R1 spatial processor, 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:18.360 which is supposed to handle near zero latency pass through. I think they're claiming about 12 milliseconds. 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.400 So that's less than one frame per second at 60 Hertz. 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.080 So it's about one frame at 90 Hertz, I think. Incredible. 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.400 That doesn't necessarily mean it's worth spending the money on. 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.400 See, there's three different answers potentially for this thing. 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.000 Is it expensive? Yes. Is it overpriced? No. 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.680 Is it worth it? That remains to be seen. I definitely like the face hug fit of the default band. 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.880 If I can see how if you were wearing it for a very extended period of time, 00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:49.840 this could be good-ish. Personally, I prefer the angle 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.240 to go a little bit more to the back though, like a little bit more wrapping around the back of the head. 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.760 I think this is the first time in as long as I can remember, 00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:00.880 but I've actually done a proper unboxing 00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:04.560 and really looked at everything that's in the box because I care. 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.680 See, people think I'm some kind of Apple hater, but guys, you can like a product without necessarily agreeing 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.200 with everything that a company does. I love my AirPods Pros. 00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:18.080 Look, there it is. A charging brick. So they can do it. 00:04:18.080 --> 00:04:22.600 I mean, all the laptops come with charging bricks. So I guess the precedent is there for it. 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.760 Unboxing the battery. The first thought that I have is thank goodness 00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:31.320 this isn't also strapped to your face. This side uses that hidden lightning connector. 00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:37.640 We will never be free of it. Some removal tool, we'll pop that out. And then you've got a USB-C input that handles charging 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.560 for the compute and displays that are all in here. Apple boasts that these displays 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.800 have a total of 23 million pixels, allowing you to use this not only as a virtual private theater, 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.840 but even to expand your desktop and use it for productivity. 00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:58.360 That is the use case I'm most interested in. We were just working on a review of a foldable laptop 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.520 and I loved the idea of being able to quickly do something 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:05.560 or unfold my screen, put it on its little kickstand 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.560 and really get to work. Well, that's basically this. I'm gonna switch over to the other band. 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:14.240 Let's fire this thing up. There is no way that at the price this thing shouldn't come with a carrying case 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.800 that includes lens protectors. That is an essential accessory, 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.280 especially when you consider that Apple obviously knows that because they do include a protector for the front. 00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:27.640 Like they don't mind if you damage it in a way that affects the user experience, 00:05:27.640 --> 00:05:32.000 but heaven forbid you damage it in a way that affects how good it looks to other people 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.520 while you're wearing it. Just Apple priorities, man. Everything about this comp anyway. 00:05:36.520 --> 00:05:40.360 Doesn't matter. The point is, let's fire it up. Please tell me it makes the Mac boot up sound. 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.400 Please tell me it makes the Mac boot up sound. It does nothing if you don't plug in the battery. 00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:48.840 One moment, please. Hey, little Apple logo. Man, the iFixit teardown of this thing is something else. 00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:52.840 All the different layers that they had to put into this front glass to achieve that look. 00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:57.960 Not gonna lie, would have preferred the old boom. 00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:03.120 There's a massive array of infrared LEDs and IR cameras inside to help with eye tracking. 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.560 So that's gonna be one of the big pros and cons of this device. 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.440 Pro, you don't need controllers. Con, you don't have controllers. 00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:16.440 At least for the time being. All right, press and hold to align. 00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:20.520 Whoa, it automatically adjusts the IPD for you. 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.600 This pass through is f***ing incredible. 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.000 I really wanna adjust this angle right here. 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.280 And I cannot. It doesn't, it's sitting really hard against here. 00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:37.520 There it is. Boom. Here we go, screen cap. 00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:42.720 You guys get to see what I'm seeing now? Saw quite a few complaints about the field of view. 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.840 You know what? Obviously it's not as good as the top headsets on the market, 00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:51.120 but to their credit, Apple doesn't have nearly as much 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.080 internal pancake lens glare as I saw on the big screen beyond. 00:06:55.080 --> 00:06:58.320 And if that's the price they had to pay, I'm okay with it. 00:06:58.320 --> 00:07:02.040 Oh man, we've got cargo pants coming. LTTstore.com, boom. 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:07.080 Apple Vision Pro Pocket, got him. Oh wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, please. 00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:09.200 Oh my God, this pocket's perfect for it. 00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:12.120 We're ahead of the curve, baby. 00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:17.200 Coming soon. Hey, here we go. Let's get creepy. 00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:21.640 Oh my God, I'm you. 00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:26.560 Stop, stop. Ha ha ha ha. 00:07:29.320 --> 00:07:32.680 This is great. Hi, I'm Jake Povant. 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.680 I have a deep voice. Subscribe to short too. 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.480 I can't even bake it. Refine your hands though, okay? Sure. 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.040 Capture complete. Oh boy, I have a feeling. 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:56.200 Got a feeling that's not gonna look too good. So you're gonna notice, oh, that is terrible. 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:02.400 Do I look like that? I mean, they really captured my totally crooked eyes. 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:05.200 So that's an accomplishment. 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:11.120 Check this out, Bill. Well, I'll see you in the FaceTime. Oh yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, FaceTime. 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:17.240 That is really something. You know, it does look like KQ. 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.480 Oh, well that's a disappointment. 00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:28.920 Oh yeah, oh, I didn't know that you can see my hands. So if I was like this, then yeah, 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.600 thanks for your compliments. Knowing Apple, I'm surprised they don't censor it. 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.440 You know how they like censor stuff if you dictate to Siri and it has swear words in it? 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.280 Hello, call controls at some point? 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:45.320 Looking at the dot does not bring up the controls. 00:08:46.400 --> 00:08:50.800 I have to look at the call. Can I actually resize it myself? 00:08:51.640 --> 00:08:52.960 Doesn't really look like it. 00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:01.920 Why? This reminds me of how when you're viewing a picture 00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:05.640 in Apple's Photos app, you can only zoom in so far 00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:09.160 and then it'll just be like, no. Why? Who cares? 00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:13.640 Just let me make it bigger. I want a giant movie theater-sized Jake Belivance. 00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:17.120 Here we go, here we go. This, I'm pretty excited. 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.680 Wow, does that ever look good? Holy crap balls. 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.920 Oh, micro OLED, baby. Got those deep blacks. 00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:30.200 That resolution though. 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.560 Wow. Now we saw some cool stuff at CES this year 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:38.280 around future micro OLED tech in terms of brightness and pixel density 00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:44.960 that is gonna make this even better. But today, right now, that is pretty usable. 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.400 You can only have one window? Why? Oh, you know what? 00:09:48.400 --> 00:09:51.760 It's probably a link speed issue. Cause that's pretty high res. 00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:54.960 So this one I get, cause you're wirelessly linked. 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.280 I can see why they don't want you putting up like four different monitors. 00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:03.040 It would just choke the connection out. But there are some arbitrary limitations. 00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:07.760 I like the fact that Bluetooth keyboards work. Bluetooth magic trackpad works, 00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:11.320 but Bluetooth mice apparently don't work, at least officially. 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.480 Okay, I wanna watch it. Can I watch an HDR video? 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:20.400 Now, just a gosh darn second here. I want my audio to come through this. 00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:25.080 It's not showing up. Is there any way to interact with this with gestures? 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:31.680 Doesn't really look like it. Seems like I just have to use the trackpad, which if all you really want is a gigantic virtual display, 00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:37.160 I mean, mission accomplished, I guess, right? Okay, let's say I wanted to browse my photos now though. 00:10:37.160 --> 00:10:40.240 So I could move this, I don't know, over here. 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.180 So now, can I just, 00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:48.360 oh yeah, there it is. And it acts like a little iPad accessibility dot mouse thing. 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.360 Oh, okay, spatial video. Ooh, spatial video of a car. 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.200 Ooh. 00:10:54.520 --> 00:10:59.480 Ah. It makes sense that something so far away 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.340 would have less depth to it. 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.800 In this case, I don't think the spatialness of it is really adding a lot, but this Vista. 00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:13.720 Ooh, this picture though, this panoramic picture, that is cool. 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.920 That's less like, I remember taking this picture. That's more like, I remember when I was there. 00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:23.100 Very cool. I would like to watch an HDR video. 00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:26.480 Oh wait, this is not available in Canada yet? It's not available anywhere, so you can see it. 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.180 Ah, figures. Give me that HDR. 00:11:31.280 --> 00:11:32.840 Can I use this? 00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:38.040 Oh no, I unpaired it. Hold on, let's see if I can... 00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:43.120 Hello? No? I don't know, I thought maybe if I tap it, NFC. 00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:45.980 I'm kidding, relax. 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.440 It's really a shame that the MacBook display doesn't stay lit. 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.040 Oh, I want to change my environment. I want to be in VR so I can really see 00:11:55.040 --> 00:11:59.300 the deep blacks of this OLED. Can you just put it in just VR mode? 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.240 What? If I just block the cameras. 00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:08.600 Then it's just the inside of my hand. Oh yeah, there we go. 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:15.560 Okay, I'm 100% on the moon now. Good gravy is this display ever good. 00:12:15.560 --> 00:12:21.380 Still work to do for text if you're used to, you know, a retina display or something like that. 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:28.580 Not the best I've seen for an automatic background removal. But it's still solid. 00:12:32.820 --> 00:12:34.340 Here we go, HDR. 00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:40.740 Why is it defaulting to 720? Fine, 720 HDR there. 00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:47.540 That we end up making almost entirely by accident. Meet the Alexa 35 on Ari's website. 00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:51.260 They break that most big production for sure. 00:12:51.260 --> 00:12:58.080 That's pretty good. The eye tracking is pretty amazing. 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.300 Something to note, guys, is the Vision Pro uses foveated rendering, 00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:04.600 meaning it renders at a higher resolution where you are looking. 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.520 So in our screen capture, if you're looking where I'm not looking, 00:13:08.520 --> 00:13:11.040 it might be a little blurrier. Your mileage may vary. 00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:18.720 There's just a couple more first impression things. The speakers did not wow me. 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:23.280 I would use my AirPods Pros. And in the time that I've been sitting here using it, 00:13:23.280 --> 00:13:26.000 we managed to use up about a quarter of the battery. 00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:31.080 That's not bad. If all I want to do is just experience it for a little bit, 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:34.920 but it's not going to be great if you're trying to get through a workday with it. Ooh, it's warm. 00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:38.200 Wait, did you see my eyes in the past, you think? It's pretty honest. 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.840 Oh, okay. Apparently there's a lot of reflections. Hello, Linus. 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.480 I'm here in the void. Oh, wow. 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.840 I can see your eyes. It's weirdly 3D. Okay. It's like looking at a 3DS screen. 00:13:49.880 --> 00:13:53.440 Cool. You know what else you can do a little bit? Subscribe to ShortCircuit. 00:13:53.440 --> 00:14:00.560 And make sure you're subscribed to LTT for the full review. I'll be spending realistically a while on this. 00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:04.040 Is it going to be worth switching to a MacBook? Guess I'm going to find out.
