Upon the unveiling of Apple’s Vision Pro, individuals swiftly commenced drawing parallels between the product and conventional VR headsets. I elucidated the reasons why such an assessment is fundamentally flawed. However, in terms of comfort and weight, there are areas where comparisons may be valid, considering that VR headsets are known to be bulky. The initial hands-on encounters with the Vision Pro provided a few benchmarks regarding its weight. The general consensus suggests that it might be considered heavy by certain individuals, thus personal experiences may vary.
As I intend to purchase the Vision Pro promptly upon its release and utilize it for work purposes, I am also keen on assessing its comfort level. Unfortunately, Apple did not provide us with a comprehensive set of specifications for the Vision Pro. However, preliminary testers shared that the headset weighs approximately 1 pound (454g). Nevertheless, this information alone is insufficient to ascertain its overall comfort during usage.
Hence, I turned to ChatGPT to determine whether the weight of the Vision Pro could potentially pose an issue for me.
According to The Verge, the headset weighs less than one pound, which is a promising beginning. However, this information alone does not provide sufficient insight into its overall comfort during usage.
I had initially presumed that the external battery pack would result in the headset itself feeling incredibly lightweight, but to my surprise, it still felt quite substantial. After making adjustments to both a larger backstrap and the top soft strap, I proceeded with another calibration process, which concluded with an audible chime of confirmation.
ChatGPT played a pivotal role in assisting me to acquire knowledge about the weight of the Vision Pro.
Considering the weight of wearing a 1-pound computer on my head, I could have resorted to comparing it with traditional, bulky VR headsets. However, I came up with a more effective approach, which is where ChatGPT provided assistance. Additionally, it’s worth noting that skiing is a more common activity than using VR.
While awaiting the comprehensive specifications of the Vision Pro from Apple, I managed to discover a solution that alleviated my concerns regarding the weight of the spatial computer.
Overall, I anticipate being able to utilize the Vision Pro for extended periods of several hours. However, the challenge lies in the limited two-hour battery life, necessitating the need for constant charging, which is not an ideal scenario. Nevertheless, addressing this issue is a concern for another occasion.
