What do the new Apple Vision Pros do?
DO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE. AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TOLD. APPLE JUST RELEASED ITS NEW MIXED REALITY HEADSET AND MAN, IT’S GETTING SOME GREAT REVIEWS. THE APPLE VISION PRO PROVIDES VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY AS WELL. >> EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT IT. LANCE ULANOFF GOT HIS HANDS ON IT. HE’S AND HIS HEAD ON IT. HE’S THE US EDITOR IN CHIEF AT TECHRADAR. ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT? WHY DO YOU NEED THIS? >> WELL. SO HERE’S THE HERE’S APPLE’S PITCH. >> WE SHOULD EXPLAIN REAL QUICK WHAT’S GOING ON BEHIND YOU. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SEEING IT MOVE. >> SO
YOU KNOW, YOU’RE LOOKING AT EXACTLY WHAT I’M SEEING THROUGH THE APPLE VISION PRO OKAY. >> SO WHY DO I NEED THIS? >> I’M TRYING NOT TO MOVE MY HEAD THAT MUCH SO IT DOESN’T LOOK TOO CRAZY BEHIND ME. BUT APPLE’S PITCH FOR THIS IS IT’S NOT JUST AUGMENTED REALITY OF VIRTUAL REALITY, IT’S SPATIAL COMPUTING. NOW I HAVE BEEN WEARING THIS FOR DAYS, AND I HAVE NOT JUST BEEN PLAYING IN, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT MY PHOTOS OR PLAYING, YOU KNOW, PLAYING HERE IN, UH, YOU KNOW, IN 3D WITH SAFARI OR WATCHING, YOU KNOW, APPLE TV STUFF.
I AM MY DESKTOP IS COMPLETELY IT’S AS BIG AS THE WORLD. AND I ALSO PUT I CONNECT IT TO MY MACBOOK. AND SO I’M WORKING ALL DAY. SO I WORK
OF THE BENEFITS OF A DEVICE. AND NOW THIS. SO WHY IS THAT A BENEFIT THEN. >> BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT CLOSED OFF FROM THE WORLD. >> NOW I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN NOTICE. I’M GOING TO LOOK AT ONE OF YOU. YOU SEE YOU CAN SEE MY EYES RIGHT. YES. >> SO THAT’S BEHIND THE SCREEN THOUGH THAT’S CALLED. >> RIGHT. BUT YOU CAN SEE ME AS I’M TALKING TO YOU. OH YEAH. OKAY. AND THAT IS CALLED EYESIGHT. SO THE IDEA FOR APPLE IS NOT TO CLOSE YOURSELF OFF FROM THE WORLD, NOT TO LOSE TOUCH WITH
REALITY IF YOU DON’T WANT TO. NOW, I HAVE A DIGITAL CROWN ON TOP OF HERE. I CAN SPIN IT AND I CAN ACTUALLY I’LL SHOW YOU GUYS JUST FOR A SECOND. I COULD PUT MYSELF AT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCREEN NOW, I DON’T SEE YOU GUYS AT ALL. I SEE YOSEMITE PARK, SO I HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER DOING THAT. THE THERE ARE 23 MILLION PIXELS OF IMAGERY POINTED AT MY EYES. THERE. I AM DOING THINGS. IT IS GAUGE GAUGE AND GESTURE CONTROLS. SO YOU SEE, I’M MOVING THIS WINDOW AROUND
BY TOUCHING. I CAN ALSO RESIZE IT. SO I’M DOING ALL THIS AND I’M WHEREVER I LOOK WHEN I LOOK AT SOMETHING, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MENU, IF I LOOK AT DIFFERENT MENU ITEMS, THEY POP BECAUSE YOU BRING UP MY MENU. >> DO YOU HAVE TO? >> I PRESS THE DIGITAL CROWN. >> OKAY. OH, AND I PRESS IT TO GO AWAY. >> UH, THERE IS A LOT OF FUNCTIONALITY HERE. THIS IS A VERY, VERY DEEP AND HONESTLY POWERFUL PRODUCT, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY APPLE IS CHARGING. $3,499. >> YOU SAY 3500 BUCKS, RIGHT? >> I KNOW
I WAS TRYING TO BE KIND. I WAS TRYING TO GIVE HIM THAT EXTRA DOLLAR. >> LET ME ASK, WHAT IS THE YOU SAID YOU HAD IT FOR A WEEK. >> I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR. YEAH, ABOUT FOUR DAYS. WHAT IS THE LEARNING CURVE LIKE AS A USER? >> DOES IT TAKE YOU A LONG TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT? >> I WOULD SAY THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, APPLE HAS SHOWN US HOW IT HAS THIS SORT OF THINK DO MENTALITY WHEN IT DEVELOPS INTERFACES LIKE WITH THE IPHONE, AND THAT IS VERY MUCH WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
WITH THE VISION PRO. I HAD BASICALLY NO LEARNING CURVE BECAUSE WHATEVER I LOOKED AT RESPONDED WHATEVER. I, YOU KNOW, LEARNING GESTURES LIKE THIS, I’M MOVING AROUND A SCREEN WITH MY HAND OR I CAN MAKE THINGS YOU KNOW, LARGER. I CAN JUST GRAB THE CORNER AND MAKE THINGS LARGER AND IF I HAVE A 3D OBJECT IN THERE, I CAN MANIPULATE IT. SO I CAN DO WHAT I WANT. WHATEVER MY INTENTION IS, I WANT TO POINT OUT SOMETHING. I’M LOOKING DIRECTLY TO MY LEFT NOW, RIGHT? AND I’M LOOKING AT MYSELF. YOU CAN SEE THAT FACE. YES THAT
IS A PERSONA THAT’S NOT REALLY MY FACE. SO WHEN I’M USING THIS, I CAN ALSO MAKE FACETIME CALLS AND THEY WON’T SEE ME WITH THIS. WITH THE GOGGLES ON, THEY’LL SEE THAT. NOW THAT IS A SCAN OF MY FACE. A 3D RENDERED MY FACE BECAUSE OF ALL THE CAMERAS ON HERE. TRACKS MY EYES, TRACKS MY MOUTH. WHEN I TALK, IT’LL TALK AND IT’LL MOVE SO YOU CAN EVEN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF IT. YOU CAN SEE IT KIND OF MOVING THERE. I PURPOSELY BLINKING MY EYES AND MOVING IT SO, YOU KNOW, LANCE, DO WE NEED
THIS DISTRACTION? >> I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HECK THIS IS FOR, BUT THAT’S THE WHEN WOULD I USE THIS? LIKE WHEN I’M NOT WORKING OR WORKING. >> I’VE WORKED. >> I CAN’T WORK LIKE THAT. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE LIKE AN IPHONE WHERE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, YOU’RE LIKE, YEAH, WHAT DO I NEED THAT FOR? >> AND YEARS LATER, YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT, BUT YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANT. >> I THOUGHT I LOOKED LIKE A COOL ANT WOULD WOULD YOU ADVISE PEOPLE TO GET IT IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT?
OH, IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT. LIKE IF IT’S NO PROBLEM. YEAH. I THINK THAT THIS IS NOT THE EXPERIENCE YOU EXPECT WITH VR AND AR. THIS IS SOMETHING MORE. I AM HONESTLY MUCH MORE CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A REAL THING THAN I WAS 4 OR 5 DAYS AGO. WOW. I’M REALLY INTO USING IT. ALTHOUGH WHEN MY FAMILY LOOKS AT ME AND SEES ME WEARING IT, THEY THINK I’M CRAZY. >> I KNOW SO OKAY, ARE THERE RISKS TO WEARING THIS? >> BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF YOU DON’T HAVE, YOU KNOW, GOOD, STURDY SPATIAL STANCE AWARENESS THAT
THIS COULD BE A DISASTER, WELL, LOOK, I’M SO YOU SEE, I’M STANDING HERE. >> I CAN SEE EVERYTHING. I CAN SEE THE FLOOR. I CAN SEE MY FEET. YEAH. SO I DON’T FEEL DISCONNECTED. I WOULD OBVIOUSLY, I WOULD NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, TURN IT ALL THE WAY UP AND THEN YOU DON’T WALK WHEN YOU’RE LIKE THIS, WHEN YOU CAN’T SEE WHAT’S AROUND YOU. BUT BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH EXCELLENT EYE TRACKING AND BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH PERFECT MOTION TRACKING, YOU DON’T EVER FEEL LIKE YOU’RE DIZZY OR AWKWARD. OKAY, NOW THIS WEIGHS 1.3 POUNDS, SO YOU HAVE
TO GET USED TO WEARING THAT ON YOUR FACE. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT STRAPS. THIS IS ONE STRAP THAT I HAVE, WHICH IS I LIKE. IT’S NOT THE DEFAULT STRAP. AND THEN THERE’S A SOFT STRAP THAT GOES AROUND THE BACK. I DON’T THINK IT OFFERS ENOUGH SUPPORT, SO I ALWAYS WEAR THIS STRAP. OH ONE OTHER THING. OKAY, I’M A GLASSES WEARER. I’M NOT WEARING MY GLASSES RIGHT NOW. FOR $149 YOU GET ZEISS GLASS INSERTS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM. IF YOU DON’T WEAR CONTACT WITH YOUR PRESCRIPTION. YES THAT’S CRAZY, 100. >> THIS THING IS JUST GETTING
STARTED. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHERE IT ENDS OUT. >> RIGHT? YEAH, WELL, 200,000 OF THEM SOLD OUT RIGHT AWAY. >> THEY DIDN’T MAKE THAT MANY, BUT IT WAS A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AT THE APPLE FIFTH AVENUE STORE. I JUST CAME YOU TALKED TO TIM COOK? I DID GET TO TALK TO TIM. HE WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED AND VERY HAPPY. >>
