with the video hello guys and gals me
mudahar and boy oh boy today I got a
little Hardware review for you now you
might be wondering well mud what are you
talking about today well if you read the
title you saw the thumbnail then you
know that I'm talking about that good
old Apple Vision Pro now you might be
like whoa muda what are you talking
about it it's already been talked about
when it came out like two months ago and
the reality of it is is I didn't want to
just sit down and use this thing for 20
minutes and then say wow it's an
impressive piece of technology guys no I
wanted to actually try using it because
I really like virtual reality to give
you a bit of History I am somebody that
does suffer from serious sleep paralysis
okay it's not as bad as it ever used to
be but there was a period of my life
where falling asleep was not a fun
Endeavor okay it was an Endeavor where
if if you want me to describe to you how
sleep paralysis is Imagine waking up
slightly okay and you're unable to move
your neck your arms fingers whatever
okay you can barely move them or
anything it's almost like being locked
inside your body complete actual
paralysis but it's being awake enough to
realize that something's wrong and
sometimes your dreams however bad they
can be can bleed into that effect it's
really a weird feeling and I don't wish
the feeling on anybody even my worst
enemies okay but the reality of it is
one of the ways that I used to truly
combat that was having music play in the
background there was a period where I
put on an actual VR headset and kind of
slept in the world of Minecraft for a
bit some of you you know young in some
of you people in my channel may remember
that okay where I actually made virtual
Minecraft worlds uh added some raate
tracing made them look realistic ran
them on my super powerful computer and
basically just relaxed in virtual
reality fell asleep dozed off did
whatever and it really was a helpful
thing and of course obviously now you
can probably say muda just get yourself
one of those like Galaxy like
nightlights but let me tell you sleeping
in your own world your Minecraft mansion
with path tracing and and VR hitting you
is a is a different different Beast now
since then I've been playing VR games uh
you know here and there you know I I
adopted the PlayStation VR played some
games on there I actually use the Oculus
re VR or The Meta Quest systems to play
games like halflife Alex okay brilliant
virtual reality experiences Resident
Evil 4 VR absolutely a jaw-dropping fun
time and the thing about it is is
obviously you know this is kind of
technology that is still prohibitively
expensive and talking about the Apple
Vision this is by far the most expensive
product that I have ever used in the
virtual reality space so I'm going to
give you a few uh entry-level things I'm
going to guide you through the Journey
okay so 2 months ago when this released
uh it would it never came out in Canada
it's still unavailable in my country so
this is a product that I had to drive
across an international border to the US
New York Buffalo specifically and I
ended up picking up this device now it
is around
$3500 making it the most expensive Apple
device as far as my knowledge goes and
that's before you start gassing up the
price by enhancing the storage and
whatnot so in Canadian dollar in
Canadian fund bucks that's around $5,000
okay tax included and everything so this
cost about as much as some used cars
okay so it is not a cheap Endeavor
nothing that I'm mentioning here is
actually cheap and remember this is
going to be important going into the
rest of the video because price
permeates everything now being an
expensive product obviously it is quite
a good product now this is the best
worst headset that I've used and the
reason I say that term is not because
I'm trying to be contradictory here it
is by far the best hardware that you're
going to find okay we are talking so
many sensors to the point where it's got
six World tracking sensors out there
four actual it tracking sensors lar
sensors flicker sensors ambient light
high resolution cameras so on and so
forth the amount of data this thing
captures from your eyes the world around
you is insane and it's probably more
impressive than nearly any other headset
you're going to find now again the price
permeates everywhere okay that is a
phrase we're going to keep bashing
through the this video because compared
to any other device this costs several
times more so obviously I expect it to
have far more impressive technology
going on forward okay that's pretty much
where it goes to so anybody that's kind
of been talking about how this thing is
an impressive piece of Hardware it
should be for the price you pay clearly
Apple has put a lot of money into making
this as badass as it can be from a
hardware perspective now the reason I
say it's one of the worst headsets I've
used is purely down to the actual
software for it okay because for the
price you pay around 5,000 Canadian
let's just keep it simple 3500 us you
would expect to be able to do a whole
lot more with this headset than anything
else but since I've bought it it's
basically a nightmare and it might as
well collect dust and let me give you
the exact experience of it so when you
put the headset on and you fire it up
initially you'll be blown away by how
clear everything looks okay now
comparing this to other actual devices
the pass through where you can see the
world around you through the cameras is
impressive it almost feels like you're
looking at the world through your own
eyes clearly it is still a camera you
can obviously see how light it is it is
like looking at a camera a really good
camera and the display from my
understanding is a very very good OLED
display which is one of the reasons why
it costs so much and because it's an
OLED display the colors are represented
well the world looks about as good as
you can imagine okay now again again
comparing it to the meta Quest 3 the
pass through there isn't as good but
then again the price permeates
everywhere the price is very much
different so that's one thing you're
going to have going through your head
now obviously when you fire up this
device one of the coolest things that I
have ever seen and this still blows me
away every time I slap that headset on
is the ey tracking now it has four ey
tracking cameras and let me explain how
good this is the way that you're
supposed to use this spatial computer is
your are the mouse and your hands are
the actual like you know clicker right
so basically your hand will be the left
click and you're effectively supposed to
use this kind of like a mobile device
you use your eyes to look at what you
want to interact with and then you tap
with your fingers and the sensors detect
all of it in real time and it is
stunningly accurate so when you want to
like actually open up a menu you look up
a little bit and you can see this little
Command Center icon you tap it and then
you basically open up the actual app
layout and here you can open up a few
app like your web browser messaging
Gallery whatever you want you can open
these apps up and it'll pop up a little
window in front of you and you can take
these windows and stick them anywhere in
your general location different rooms
your room around you whatever and the
cool thing about it is there is
genuinely no lag in this situation
because of how much software because of
how much Hardware is processing in real
time and the actual quality of that
Hardware it is surprisingly good there
is genuinely no lag when it comes to the
windows and they stay in position it
literally is like having proper goddamn
augmented reality like I am genuinely
impressed by what Apple has done by
actually creating a spatial system you
can put one window on this wall walk
away to another room and genuinely you
will see it but it will scale it will
adjust it will act realistically
according to where you place it which is
again mindblowing no matter how many
times I put this on so again the
operating system here Vision OS is
Apple's like first spatial operating
system and beyond all of what I just
said that is where all of the positivity
sort of stops okay now when we talk
about paying $3,500 for a piece of
Hardware you would expect that you can
start to do a whole heck of a lot more
than just send some messages record some
spatial videos and browse the internet
so there is an app store to this but
because I'm Canadian and this is a
product that is only released in the
United States I wasn't able to install
applications through my main Canadian
account you can however create a US
Apple ID and just download some
applications so I did download a couple
out of this I downloaded Reddit I
downloaded Twitter there was even honai
star rail a full game that you can
download and amongst other spatial OS
exclusive applications for now because
of how new and again prohibitively
restrictive this device is there's not a
whole lot of applications to really deal
with and again until this this product
globally launches and more and more
people grab onto it you're probably not
going to expect a whole lot of Apple
Vision exclusive stuff so for the
applications that are there it's kind of
like having an iPad except blown up to
whatever Dimension you wanted and that's
where I have a real issue with it while
it's cool that you can get extra
functionality through these applications
everything that you basically are doing
on the Apple Vision Pro for
$3,500 could easily be replicated on
your smartphone your tablet or hell even
your computer and that's where
the nightmare begins so again one of the
things that Apple likes to tout here is
productivity okay so I want to really
talk about productivity as somebody that
makes YouTube videos I still edit my own
content so generally I have this
computer back here so I can just throw
my projects in edit them myself and have
them uploaded for you to watch so the
way that it works on the Apple Vision
Pro is if you have a Mac device you can
mirror your screen so one of the things
you've seen in the marketing is people
using their MacBooks and then they can
blow up a screen and have an external
display anywhere they want in augmented
reality and that sounds really cool
until you actually use it see as an
editor as somebody that uses a computer
at their desktop I have multiple
monitors because I like to use multiple
systems I think all of us really do I
think most people watching my videos you
probably have multiple monitors as well
you know what Apple Vision doesn't let
you do multip multiple monitors now
there are applications you can buy to
get extra functionality but I don't
think you should have to spend an extra
dime after you spent
$3,500 to have an extra two or three
monitors on your display I think the
system should be very capable of doing
it now beyond all of it it's cool to
have this super big 70in Mega 4K display
while you're working right that sounds
cool until you also realize the audio
doesn't feed through the Apple Vision
Pro yeah for $3,500 when you use this
device as an external monitor it doesn't
feed the MacBooks audio to your Apple
Vision device I don't know why maybe
it's a restriction of the Apple Vision
like service or the screen mirroring
they use but it is genuinely baffling
how Apple has created this productivity
device that doesn't really seem all that
productive when you really start to use
it now one of the things that I've been
told is this would be great if you're on
a playing mudahar right imagine instead
of dealing with your laptop display you
can just have a massive Mega monitor
while you're on a plane now just think
about the logic here real quickly you're
expecting me to take a super expensive
MacBook and then a apple Vision Pro on
the same flight so already you want me
to have several thousands of dollars
that I'm carrying around I think for the
price that you buy this device it should
be able to run some of those Mac OS
editing applications on its own it would
be really awesome to have Final Cut or
Adobe Premiere running locally on the
headset so you can just bring the
headset and that's it that's all you
needed it would be awesome to cut video
and cut software right with your hands
while you have augmented reality if I'm
bringing my laptop anyways I'll just
bring the laptop and call it a day it's
a lot easier to stick a laptop into a
backpack and take that with you anywhere
you want versus bringing a laptop maybe
even an extra Mouse and then the Apple
Vision Pro now when it comes to other
software on it one of the things that
really hurts is the lack of gaming so if
you have that MacBook one of the things
you could do is download games like
death stranding and stream them from
your MacBook to your Apple Vision now
it's not going to be like VR Gaming it's
still just you can make the screen big
and just throw it on the wall and play
that game as if you were I guess kind of
playing it on a big screen TV but see
that takes me to the second question
here right the one of the things that
Apple has sort of shown in its promotion
is the ability to watch movies and and
and entertainment on your Apple Vision
like you were at a theater and here's
the thing in most cases that works
really well watching a YouTube video on
this thing blown up to your big blown up
to like your wall is awesome but here's
the thing for the price you pay and
remember price permeates everything in
this video for the price you pay 3500 us
why the wouldn't you just buy an
actual flat screen TV at that point a
good flat screen TV because at that
point you can share that experience with
not just you but everyone around you
instead of one person sitting dystopian
Style with their headset on watching a
movie and even if you're talking to
other people through your Apple Vision
Pro it's still weird so the way that
they have FaceTime and Communications is
they use something known as personas so
when you activate your Apple Vision you
have to put it up to your face they scan
your like you know Persona your face
they make a 3D map of it now this 3D map
is downright horrific anybody you call
on FaceTime freaks the out okay
literally they freak out whenever they
see it and rightfully so it looks
uncanny and weird and it's not at a
point where you're supposed to even use
this properly like it's it's something
that I don't really think uh will
probably ever truly take off and it's
not something that I think really brings
people together or or or brings that
social feeling if you will right like as
if I'm sitting with somebody next to me
if they also have another Apple vision
problem on it's just weird to FaceTime
somebody and again for that price why
not just take my actual phone and
actually FaceTime somebody that's one of
the questions again I have to ask now I
guess the final part of this is the
software so one of the videos you might
have seen around the release of the
Apple Vision was Mark Zuckerberg
crapping on the device and as much as I
hate to side with the Zuck somebody on
his PR team is doing a great job gassing
him up because he is 100% right
now again the price is everything for
3500 us comparing it to the much cheaper
meta Quest 3 just by that as much as I
dislike Facebook meta Mark Zuckerberg he
genuinely has the better more valuable
product for anybody because the amount
of openness that that Quest has versus
the closed model that Apple has really
really shoots this thing in the foot see
one of the problems is for paying
$3,500 the only thing you can interact
with is other Apple products and this
this isn't new obviously Apple stuff
only really works with other Apple stuff
but for $3,500 and as good of a hardware
set that this thing provides it is so
shameful that you can't somehow get this
to work with steam VR or anything on the
PC space the ability to play stuff like
emu VR or padav or a lot of these big VR
PC titles using the resolution the
quality of this device would be killer
but apple is so restrictive that they do
not allow that at all and they have no
goal of allowing it so you buy this
$3,500 device and it's got really good
Hardware the only problem is Apple
shoots themselves in the foot by
creating a product that only works with
a very few pieces of Hardware very few
Mac devices iPhones iPads if that and
the the things you can really do are so
limited in scope that it's almost not
worth even bothering with the device and
I would use this a whole heck of a lot
more had this had proper PC connectivity
if I could connect this to steam VR
somehow I would now since I've actually
been filming this video there has been
some updates for instance about a month
ago and actually is a few days there
have been extended clients like alvr
which allow you to play Apple like
Vision like allows you to play like PC
stuff on Apple Vision products but the
reality of this is is even this is still
not perfect and again one of the side
tangents that I want to bring into it is
something known as web XR which which is
again just web functionality this is an
open framework that works across many
virtual reality augmented reality
products so of course as you can see
here on my Mac uh sorry Apple Vision Pro
it's just not functioning because the
web browser doesn't actually have
support for this framework however if
you load up the exact same tools on an
actual meta Quest 3 you can see that
immediately one of these room scale demo
starts to work right out of the box and
look even beyond all of this a couple
days ago meta Quest or metam themselves
basically became as open as they can be
actually allowing their devices to
support more of these Frameworks and are
working from my understanding with other
brands and other products as well so
Apple's closed ideology is clashing with
surprisingly meta's open ideology here
and as far as history is always shown at
least in my experience is that these
open products in my opinion tend to be
way more consumer friendly and obviously
I think with meta being being as
successful as they are in the space is
absolutely going to smash Apple all
right that's just not even a shock to me
and even for Apple stuff looking into
how their product or how the Apple
Vision has been received they have to
reassess the actual Supply that they
have to build because again this isn't
taking off like the iPhone or the iPad
or the MacBook because while those have
functionality this is just a toy that
can easily be replaced by any of their
other devices that are just more prac
iCal and far more cheaper but until then
we cannot use this device the way that I
think we really should be allowed to for
$3500 now again this is where I think
the reviews for this thing generally
fall into the six and seven out of 10
Camp it's really good Hardware it's just
Apple up by locking it down so
restrictively that you're not really
able to do a whole heck of a lot much
with it and that I think is the big
problem with like VR stuff in general
one of the things uh that I think make f
Facebook meta successful in this regard
is that they open up their stuff you can
buy a meta Quest 3 for like $700 and you
can use it as a really good pcvr headset
even wirelessly hell even if you don't
have a PC setup there is enough software
and support that you can use that far
more efficiently and effectively than
this device even if the quality of the
pass through and some of the tracking
isn't there just the amount of stuff you
can do with oculus as product versus
Apple because one is very very much open
and one is very much closed is
staggering at this point and honestly
it's one of those things where I feel
like even for the most DieHard Apple fan
they have to kind of sit there and say
yeah I wish they would change muda I
wish they would open things up but of
course this is basically where we're
coming to the end of all this the Apple
Vision Pro is probably the best worst
product that I've ever used it is great
in the sense that the hardware genuinely
blows me away I wish that there was a PC
manufacturer some open standard
manufactur that had this level of
quality for the hardware but Apple
destroys it when it comes to the
software it's cool Tech it's cool stuff
but honestly for
$3,500 messaging your friends browsing
Reddit browsing a few pages is just not
that worth it and even when you really
think about it right when you're like
browsing the internet again it's cool
but when you're messaging somebody
instead of using a augmented reality
keyboard I found myself even with the
thing on to just whip out my phone and
start messaging from there it's truly
wild but again ladies and gentlemen I
wanted to really talk about the Apple
Vision Pro I wanted to share my uh
thoughts on it and even though I'm a
little late on this I want to just say
I've used this the most that I can and I
feel like I the review that I'm
providing is one that comes from
somebody that has really given this
thing a fair shake and from somebody
that is a VR efficient Auto that said
ladies and gentlemen I I doubt that if
if you already weren't buying this for
$3,500 you probably won't buy it anyways
but for anybody seriously considering it
I don't even think it's a matter of
waiting for the Vision Pro 2 or three or
four or five it's just a matter of
getting Apple to at least open this
thing up for you to actually have some
real tangible to do with it that
said though ladies and gentlemen this is
me mudahar and if you like what you saw
