Vision Pro's only problem is the price. At $1k I think we would see a lot more adoption. I say this as a former skeptic and who gets VR sickness from other AR/VR devices, and hates the idea of strapping a device to my face and being isolated from my surroundings.

I got an AVP for work (long story), and was blown away. No VR sickness. I can work from anywhere with my laptop while enjoying a massive, wrap-around high resolution (virtual) display. I can relive vacation photos in full 3D. I can watch For All Mankind projected on a drive-in movie theatre screen in a lunar crater, while laying in my bed.

I think I'd have to go back to the original iPhone to think of a product that is so innovative and visionary that you just KNOW from first use that it will completely transform the way we interact with computers.

But at $3,500? Nobody can afford that, and only a small subset of the 1% would even consider buying one.

From what I have heard, it weighs on you. Maybe you can tolerate for an hour, and maybe you can do more than me, but I think the weight is the second parameter which puts off people.

Reduce weight by 1/3 and same thing for the price, and I will likely buy it.

		Fair. Getting a correctly sized light shield helps a lot as it balances the weight over your whole face. Also helpful is having the strap ride a lot higher on the back than you would think is right -- it always feels way too high, but is held in place better when I do this, and feels lighter (as some of the strain is taken off the face). Or using the alternative over-head strap. This is one case where I think Apple went too far with form over function. There are much better strap designs, but they just aren't aesthetically pleasing I guess? Finally, I generally use it laying down in bed or on a couch, which makes the weight less of an issue. I agree in principle that a lighter device would be vastly better. I don't know how they will get there without drastic improvements in the underlying technology though.
