This video by Casey Neistat explores the possibilities of using Apple Vision Pro in your daily life, and the problems it may cause for others. Apple Vision Pro is expected to become the entrance to spatial computing, which may be a major change in the way people use technology in the future. Social media personality Casey Neistat took this concept to the extreme while testing out Apple's latest product launch.
In a video of the headset on Saturday, Neistat wore the device in drive-thru mode through New York City, including riding the subway system and using a skateboard.
Throughout the video, he demonstrates how to use it to watch videos and perform tasks where he can see while still being able to see his surroundings. Along the way, he demonstrates some of the shortcomings of Apple Vision Pro and the impact it can have on daily life.
When Apple introduced the product, it said the Vision Pro could be used on airplanes, but Neistat was walking around and boarding the subway while using the headset. Neither situation is ideal for VisionPro, as the video and windows disappear from view as he walks down the street.
In the subway, as the train left, a video of "Mr. Beast" slowly moved out of sight, and then Apple Vision Pro displayed a "tracking failure" prompt.
Throughout the video, Neistat also shows how Apple's Vision Pro can conflict with everyday life, especially when it comes to other people.
At the end of the video, he recounts an "accidental" moment when he used the device for an extended period of time while traveling. After a few hours of use, he explained: "My brain kind of went haywire. It forgot that I was looking through a camera and a screen, and it just took what I saw as reality."
He said it was a "profound moment", sitting in Times Square, surrounded by strangers and surrounded by virtual windows, that "this is the future of computing that everyone has been promising for the past 15 years." This gave him "a glimpse into where this is all going," and he believes "this is not the future of AR and VR, I think this is the future interface for all computing."
Still, Neistat said he doesn't know if he can recommend the pricey headset "because I can guarantee you this is going to be the worst Vision Pro Apple has ever put out. It's going to get better."
