Apple has launched a survey campaign for early adopters of its Vision Pro. The tech giant is seeking detailed feedback on various aspects of the device, perhaps, to understand user experiences and preferences.
There are the questions, as seen at 9toMac.
- Did you buy an Apple Vision Pro or receive it from someone else?
- Do you still have this Apple Vision Pro?
- Overall, how satisfied are you with your Apple Vision Pro?
- What is your favorite feature or aspect of Apple Vision Pro so far?
- How often do you use your Apple Vision Pro?
- For how long do you typically wear your Apple Vision Pro before you decide to take it off?
- What headband do you use most often with your Apple Vision Pro?
- Did you get ZEISS Optical Inserts for your Apple Vision Pro?
- How often do you use your Apple Vision Pro while the battery is connected to a power source?
- For what purposes do you use Mac Virtual Display?
- Where do you typically use Mac Virtual Display?
- What types of activities do you use Mac Virtual Display for?
- What one thing, if anything, would you add to or change about Apple Vision Pro?
Apple is particularly interested in understanding:
- How users employ the Mac Virtual Display feature
- Types of activities performed with Vision Pro
- Whether initial expectations for feature usage align with current use
This could be because Apple is planning to bring a cheaper variant of Vision Pro.
Really? Apple Vision Pro could be awesome to watch 3D movies, and most people will want to use it for that. JUST FOR THAT AND ONLY FOR THAT. Not for fancy virtual interfaces, to control the Mac interface or other awkward interface applications, except for disabled people perhaps.
But the lack of support for standard prescription glasses is a DEAL BREAKER. And no, contact lenses or magnetic inserts are not acceptable workarounds for most people. Just imagine having to spend a lot of money on new magnetic inserts each year, as would be required by many people. And the obnoxious huge environmental impact of all that.
But there is a solution., if Apple wants, of course. Just support prescription lenses with Apple Vision Pro. Or sell two models: one not supporting prescription lenses (current one), and other only to watch 3D movies (or any movie on large area), allowing prescription glasses (which would also be a much much, much cheaper model, selling like hotcakes). Problem solved for all.
Probably Apple will not do that, unless forced to do it. If sales of the current Apple Vision Pro are scarce and people ask for the other model, Apple could make it. That would be awesome.
