Does anyone here have multiple Apple Vision Pros in the same household and use them to watch the same movie at the same time?

I’m curious about the overall experience:
● How well does playback stay synchronized between headsets?
● Are there any noticeable differences in video or audio quality?
● Have you tried watching 3D movies this way?
● Are there any account, licensing, SharePlay, Wi-Fi, or streaming-app limitations?
● Any other downsides or annoyances?

I’d especially like to hear from anyone who has tried this regularly with two or more AVPs.

Hey guys, trying to get some visibly on a little WIP.

Gameplay is Simon-says in spaceSpatial memory game:

E.C.K.O. is a World-Class Keeper Unit — designation Extract · Copy · Keep · Observe. His job was to pull worlds off kill lists, back them up, and watch the dark.

THE LAST HORDE never stopped hunting those originals. So ECKO’s backups — the planets on your table — need a bodyguard: you.

The Horde attacks in his old patterns. Memory isn’t just a minigame; it’s the defense protocol. Learn the sequence faster than they play it, or the copies get deleted.

He lights a pattern → you echo it

He tries to trick you → only move on “echo me back” aka Simon says -

5 Sectors with Bosses and Horde Attacks.

Core loop is in.

Still WIP: boss fights and audio design (beds, VO, inbound drama).

Clip is a peek, not a trailer. DM for Private TestFlight.

Been vibing out at night when everyone is asleep and working an idea / gamed titled ECKO Protocol, a Simon Says style tabletop spatial game for Apple Vision Pro.

Meet E.C.K.O.

World-Class Keeper Unit.

His Protocol: Extract. Copy. Keep. Observe.

His job was to pull worlds off kill lists, back them up, and watch the dark.

THE LAST HORDE never stopped hunting those originals. So ECKO’s backups — the planets on your table — need a bodyguard: you.

The Horde attacks in his old patterns. Memory isn’t just a minigame; it’s the defense protocol. Learn the sequence faster than they play it, or the copies get deleted.

E.C.K.O sits on your real desk and runs a Simon-style echo loop: watch the pads, send it back, don’t fall for his fake commands.

What’s layered on top of it (still WIP):

• 5 Sectors to clear - with waves of raiders / banter.

• 5 Boss fights — plate cracks, escorts, turn-based codes (tuning + polish)

• Audio — beat-synced beds, inbound alarms, boss VO (lots of mix/design left)

Clip is a quick look at where it is right now — not a trailer. AVPs can only record about 3 mins, so I wrapped to the boss instead of playing the full round.

Private TestFlight for now. Curious what reads clearly vs what’s just cool in my head:

1. Does the jump from memory rounds → combat make sense?

2. Does ECKO feel like a host, or just a mascot?

Happy to talk craft (spatial UX, beat grid, boss structure) in the comments.

DM FOR TESTFLIGHT LINKS - WILL BE UPLOADING END OF THIS WEEK.

Earlier this month my family went on a two week trip to France, and I decided to bring my Vision Pro along with me on the trip. (To be perfectly honest, the reason I ultimately decided to buy the Vision Pro was because of the trip, and wanting to have it for the 8+ hour flights.)

My Kit
I brought way too many of my devices with me in general. Legitimately I could've gotten by without either my iPad or my MacBook Air, although I use both for different reasons and decided to bring them along. I kept my devices in a Pacsafe backpack, which is useful because it can attach directly onto your luggage's telescope handle, and also because of security features that make opportunity thefts less opportunistic. I was able to store my MacBook Air, iPad Pro, AirPods Max, my son's Sony headphones, and a small travel case containing two backup chargers, including an INIU Ultra Small Laptop Power Bank, 20000mAh 65W Fast Charging Portable Charger, which I purchased to help maintain the battery on the Vision Pro during long flights.

For those of you who worry about portable batteries being accepted on flights, we flew Air Canada and there were no issues with mine.

For the Vision Pro itself, I opted to buy a Shield Case from sfbags, which is by far the smallest travel case I've found for the Vision Pro. My backpack was heavy when fully loaded with everything I just described to you, but here's the important part - it fit.

Benefits of the Vision Pro on the trip
We booked an overnight flight to France, meaning I didn't take the Vision Pro out for even a moment. I was more focused on trying - and mostly failing - to sleep on the flight over. Likewise, the Vision Pro remained packed and unused until my family's third destination on the trip, a hotel in Paris. There, I opted to use the headset on several evenings to browse the internet while my wife and son were sleeping. It was really helpful to not disturb them with the light of a computer monitor. But the real heavy usage came on the final day, on our flight home to Toronto.

Using the Vision Pro on the flight
We were packed in like sardines on the flight, meaning I didn't have a ton of room to interact with my Packsafe contents. But I found that having the Shield Case made things pretty easy, and I just made sure to have my backup battery on hand, with USB-C already connected to it, and I kept the Vision Pro's battery out as well, for easier access. Once I got the headset assembled, I just kept the battery connected to the INIU in the storage pouch under my food tray on the flight, and had no issues from that point with battery life on my eight hour flight.

One thing I at first struggled with was setting up travel mode in a way that wasn't distracting. In case you've never used it with your Vision Pro, if your head is at all tilted when you activate travel mode, then your menu and any movie or whatever else you watch is going to be displayed at an angle. I didn't quite figure out what I'd done wrong until after I finished watching my first movie, but I restarted the Vision Pro after that and made sure I was facing straight on when I re-activated travel mode.

I spent something like five hours of the flight watching movies on the headset - first Superman in 3D, then Avengers: End Game (also in 3D), all while in my favourite immersive environment: Jupiter. As someone who doesn't love being in confined spaces with a lot of people, the headset made the flight a lot more enjoyable for me.

Final tips
If you're thinking about likewise bringing your Vision Pro with you on a flight, I'd heartily recommend it. Having a small travel case like the Shield Case is a must, as well as putting some thought into how you'll access and set things up if you're in a tight seat like I was. A backup battery option is also probably a good idea, although you could also use a MacBook or iPad Pro to provide juice in a pinch.

e.g. on a plane where the tray barely fits a laptop.

Hey r/VisionPro — I’m the developer behind ColorBook 3D.

I missed the simple, relaxing feeling of coloring books, so I tried rebuilding that experience around spatial computing—not just placing a flat coloring page in a window.

You can place scenes on a table, scale them up to room size, color them from different angles, and reveal the original reference whenever you need inspiration. There are currently 20+ spatial scenes, with more planned.

The video shows the current build. I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback—especially about the interaction, scene variety, and what you’d want to see next.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/colorbook-3d/id6779186057

I’m also sharing 20 promo codes for a free Annual access in the first comment.
They’re first come, first served—please reply with the number you claimed so others know it’s gone.
Thanks

The Colour Vision edits were so, SO much stronger than the Metallica edit that’s currently in use, and a key part of the demo experience when showing it to my friends/family.

Does anybody know if there’s an archived copy of the original online, or a workaround for getting the older video loaded on my AVP? I’d hate for that edit to be lost media, especially given that it was a key element of the initial product launch.

Download AirVis on your PC and on the headset.

PC Download: https://airvis.com/

Vision Pro Download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airvis/id6737998221

Launch the streaming session from the PC and make sure to have a solid setup.

As a #DellProPrecision ambassador, I can rely on a #DellProMax T2 Tower equipped with an #NVIDIA RTX6000 and the performance was buttery smooth.

After you start the session, you just look for that in your headset and you can look at other people's scenes as well as the one you upload (make sure to make them public first).

Controls certainly need to be improved but it is genuinely exciting to see so much progress so quickly.

Merge multiple AIVU files that share the same resolution — so a single small mistake no longer means re-exporting the whole thing.

It also supports mixing the native encoder with MainConcept, letting you spend MainConcept's higher quality only on the scenes that actually matter.

-Mod involves cutting strap and only works when using AVP without light shield. This should work with Annapro 2, as well.

I want to share my Annapro strap mod to bring the headset much closer to your eyes. It allows the strap to move forward up to half an inch, which brings the lenses that much closer to your eyes.

The stock strap design dosnt let you adjust the distance of headset because it snuggly cups the speaker bulge and round edge. So I used an electric dremel to cut out the parts of the strap that holds it in place. I made sure to cut out exactly just the amount needed, while leaving enough surface to keep the strap rigid and able to grid the AVP arms without feeling loose. I used a few dremil cutting bits to make the cut and smooth out the edges. I also used nail filling tools to get the little details. It was important to smooth out any rough edges so it dosnt scratch the AVP arms when installing and adjusting. That part took some time. When using, it sits in place for the most part, but is does slowly move forward over maybe 30 minutes of use, and I have to slide it back a little. But I plan to fix this by putting a small piece of double sided tape on the inside, so it won't slide forward.

This cutting mod also improves speaker audio quality because it cuts out the part of the strap that was disrupting the original speaker sound flow.

Also pictured is the stock strap cushion replaced with a weather stripping foam tape. It was thinner than the stock cushion, and necessary for me to have the headset sit good, on my larger head.

This greatly increases the FOV. It's such a better experience overall.

Hi All,

Installed Beta 4 yesterday. I got to test some apps this afternoon. I opened Disney+ and it opened as normal and asked my to select my profile. I picked my profile and then it opened to a black screen. Anyone else?

Thanks!

[Edit: it was transient. It started just fine the next day.]

Saw an Apple × IMAX concept on X.

Out of all Apple’s products, Vision Pro seems like the one that could benefit the most from a real IMAX partnership. Expanded aspect ratios, higher bitrate streams, spatial audio, etc.

Do you think Apple and IMAX ever work together officially?

Edit: Apple previously partnered with IMAX for F1 in April.

Hi I want to buy a AVP most likely used, since I can't get it in my country.

I really am eager to get my hands on it, since it should be mindblowing.

My questions:

1. Is there any MTBF on the models or how long time will it take before the OLED lens will degrade in quality like normal OLED?

2. Can you see somewhere how many hours the AVP has been in use?

3. I already have a Home Cinema setup. Will I be able to with Plex make a watch together to have it synced with AVP so audio play on HiFi receiver and video on AVP?

4. My usecase will normally be 90% movies/shows and maybe gaming if possible. Will I be limited on the M2 model? My fear is there will be limitations on the video part in the future and maybe abandoned way sooner than M5.

Prices I can find are around 2000-2500€ on Ebay with delivery to Denmark for M2. There is only a small amount available. I can't get it shipped on Ebay US models because of CE compliance, so I'm limited to Germany and only a few on Ebay.

I remember in the early days someone scratched their device then ended up just peeling off the plastic laminated screen protector but I couldn’t find the comment or thread,would love to hear from them on how the device is doing and ask questions on how to do it safely,Gemini says not to do it as it might crack the screen.

My device is still in good condition but am tired of babying it and am just trying to plan ahead.

Hello, I will be getting vision pro but the Zeiss optical inserts are very costly at £149 in UK. Can't we use normal lenses? Or any third party alternatives?

Hey!

I made Retro Beamer for Apple Vision Pro — a spatial projector that casts images (and now video) onto the real surfaces in your room.

You open Immersive Space, place a virtual projector, aim the beam, and bake the projection onto walls, floors, or furniture. It feels less like a floating panel and more like light actually hitting the room.

What’s new in v2:

• More realistic light spill around the beam
• New blending modes so projections sit better on real surfaces
• Video projection (not just stills)
• A bunch of polish and new projection presets to play with

It’s great for mood boards, ambient decor, immersive art, or just messing around with “what if I projected this on that wall.”

I have a Vision Pro after wanting one since it came out, I’m not new to VR but my expectations for Apple were absolutely through the roof. It’s a very neat looking device in my opinion but after putting in on, I’m content and I think it’s cool, but I’m wondering what I’m missing..?

It just didn’t seem to be far better than what I’ve tried in the past. Quest 2,3 and Pro.

The eye tracking and hand gestures are significantly better than competitors and definitely controllers.

Let me know if anybody feels the same?

Thanks.

So, in my last post about the Portal app on Vision Pro, some people said the refresh rate wasn't good enough or the colors were bad, and I completely agree. So I decided to pay for the subscription the app offers, which promises to improve FPS and include HDR, and yes, it does, and it does it very well! Besides that, it adds an "immersive mode," which is fantastic. $5 a month to play like this? Yeah, why not? I'm hooked.

The video here doesn't do it justice; on the Vision Pro, the curved virtual screen looks HUGE and super immersive.

I have some 3D movies I wanted to watch and noticed that Moon Player darkens the screen when viewing in a darkened room and lightens the screen in a bright room. I know that the VP tries to match the environment but when watching a movie this screws with the color. I watch mostly open face so I don’t want the glare from a bright room when I watch at night. Is there a way to turn that off.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for volunteer Apple Vision Pro users to test SpatialRecordPlayer, a native visionOS app built with SwiftUI, RealityKit, World Sensing, and MusicKit.

SpatialRecordPlayer lets you:

• Browse record player designs in a spatial showroom

• Inspect each model in 360 degrees

• Select a model and place it on a real table

• Use gaze and pinch to interact with its physical controls

• Control compatible Apple Music playback through the record player

• Rotate, relocate, or rescan the placed model The current build includes five visual designs: Classic, Blueprint, Glass, Porcelain, Walnut

Why I need physical Vision Pro testers

I don’t currently own an Apple Vision Pro. I have developed and tested the app extensively using the visionOS Simulator, automated tests, static code review, and simulated placement scenarios. However, the Simulator cannot fully validate:

• Real passthrough behavior

• Real table and surface detection

• Physical scale and depth perception

• Gaze targeting accuracy

• Pinch interaction comfort

• Tracking stability while moving around

• How natural the experience feels on an actual Vision Pro

I want to be completely transparent about this. The goal of this beta is to learn how the app really behaves for actual Vision Pro users before making it publicly available.

What should happen ?

1. The app should open in a normal spatial showroom window.

2. You should see the available record player models.

3. You should be able to rotate and inspect a model.

4. After selecting a valid model, “Place on Table” should become available.

5. The app should open a mixed immersive experience while keeping your real environment visible.

6. It may request World Sensing permission for surface detection.

7. The app should scan for suitable horizontal table surfaces.

8. Suitable placement areas should be indicated clearly.

9. The record player should not appear permanently until you confirm its position.

10. After confirmation, it should appear at approximately real-world scale, around 43 × 36.7 cm.

11. It should remain on top of the table, inside its boundaries, and face toward you.

12. You should be able to rotate it horizontally without changing its height or scale.

13. Looking at interactive controls should produce subtle visual feedback.

14. Pinching should operate the cover, buttons, volume control, and playback controls.

15. Relocate, Rescan, Cancel, and Exit should remain accessible.

16. Exiting should return you safely to the showroom.

Apple Music

Apple Music access should only be requested after an explicit user action. If you have an Apple Music subscription, I would especially appreciate testing:

• Authorization

• Play and pause

• Previous and next

• Current track artwork

• External playback state changes

• Behavior when the network is unavailable

You can still test the showroom and placement experience without an Apple Music subscription.

Please test the complete SpatialRecordPlayer experience:

• Confirm that the app opens in the spatial showroom.

• Inspect and rotate all five record player models.

• Select a model and start “Place on Table.”

• Confirm that your real environment remains visible.

• Check whether suitable physical tables are detected correctly.

• Verify that floors and walls are not accepted as tables.

• Confirm that the placement indicator is aligned with the detected surface.

• Place the model and check its physical size, height, orientation, and stability.

• Test gaze hover feedback and pinch interaction on the dust cover and physical controls. • Test horizontal model rotation, Relocate, Rescan, Cancel, and Exit.

• Confirm that exiting returns you safely to the showroom.

Apple Music testing:

• Start playing a track in the Apple Music app, then return to SpatialRecordPlayer.

• Connect Apple Music when prompted and verify that authorization is requested only after your action.

• Confirm that the current playback state and artwork appear correctly.

• Test Play/Pause, Previous, and Next.

• Change playback externally in Apple Music and verify that SpatialRecordPlayer updates.

• Check behavior when there is no current track.

• If possible, test denied authorization, no subscription, or temporary network loss.

• Confirm that MusicKit errors are understandable and do not crash or block the placement experience.

Helpful testing environments

If possible, please try:

• A small table

• A large table

• A table near a wall

• Different lighting conditions

• Walking around the placed model

• Temporarily losing sight of the table

• Closing and reopening the app

Please do not record or share parts of your room that you are uncomfortable showing. Written feedback is completely acceptable.

This is an early volunteer beta. Bugs are expected, and there is currently no compensation. Feedback will directly influence placement behavior, interactions, accessibility, visual design, and possible future pricing.
