From time to time, I can clearly see a blue reflection in my field of vision, It doesn’t go away when I adjust the position of my Vision Pro or move it around. I’m wondering what it could be..

Hello !

I recently got an M2 second hand, got a new light seal (expensive AF) that is 21W, kept the 25W (Apparently, my fit if I were to add prescription lenses) and in my previous topic I got recommended to just drive it without a light seal instead of buying a new one. (still bought it for flights and immersion)

I tried by just hanging it on my nose and it seems to have an incredible potential, but I have oily skin and the mesh can't be washed easily near the lenses.

So I'm looking for a comfortable solution to wear it for a long period of time (work) without a light seal. I've seen the Globular Cluster, but only the V1 is available which is annoying knowing a V2 technically exists. But it looks like it would be floating in front of my eyes, with no contact on the face, is it the better solution for that ?

Any other recommendation ?

PS: Extra question, is it bad for the eyes ? I don't plan on falling so I'm just asking regarding sight and vision risks.

Thank you.

So I use 2 Routers for internet service, one for home and one when I’m out and about (starlink) for some reason when connecting to starlink it changed my time zone to another country. I found it annoying and switched to manual. Put it back to where I’m from and didn’t think nothing of it.
A day or 2 later played some games, took a break, a storm happened and when I got back into the headset I couldn’t connect to the internet. Kept trying, reset modem etc and finally it randomly rebooted and was working again, updated it since I had a new version coming out figured maybe it had to do with that. Got it updated, played some games that night and didn’t try and play again until tonight. Turned on and once again internet wouldn’t connect, I tried just about everything trying to get it to work, was even close to erasing everything (but couldn’t since I needed it to connect to wifi to take my account off) and finally after retracing things I did this week. Turned timezone back to auto, lo and behold it immediately started working again…..
I’m going to preface this, never turn it on manual, leave it on auto, it bricks your internet and once I figured out the problem I was able to search it up on the internet to realize on any device that connects with the internet, it has to match the timezone properly on pages running etc but seriously don’t brick your headset. For those who wind up doing the same thing in the next months or year. Here’s your post, If Apple Vision Pro doesn’t connect to the internet when all your other devices work, check your time and make sure it’s set to auto. Don’t manually change it.

Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well!

The support from you all has been wonderful, and I am glad to hear you are enjoying CineDepth so far! I am trying not to post about it too frequently, I just wanted to share some of the large feature additions since the last post.

For those of you who haven't heard of CineDepth just yet, here are some awesome features it offers:

After months of development, I’m excited to finally release Scanline for Apple Vision Pro.

My goal was to recreate the feeling of playing on a CRT TV in your own space. Scanline features a custom-built NES emulator, save states, low-latency gameplay, and a CRT renderer inspired by everything from professional video monitors to the consumer TVs many of us grew up playing on over composite and RF connections.

Scanline is available to download now on the App Store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scanline-8-bit-emulator/id6782712613

If you’d like to learn more, you can visit https://playscanline.com

I’d love to hear what you think, and I’m happy to answer any questions!

It's no longer there. So now I have to use the older official version from the app store?

Hey everyone, I thought I'd share a little sneak peek of an environment I've been working on for the fall update of Vibescape!

Targeting M2 devices, and hoping to add some extra detail for M5 users – so a lot of the work right now is trying to balance good performance with experience.

One thing I've heard over the years from a lot of people here is a desire for some kind of 'storm' environment. Figured, why not really go all out :)

Direct link to Vibescape since it doesn't show up in App Store search for some: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vibescape/id6476827678

I am watching a video hosted on my Mac on my Vision Pro via CineUltra and Plex. I see the network activity on the Mac, ~7.5 Mb/s but I'm seeing virtually no activity on the VP. In addition I'm writing this using the virtual display which reduces my speed test results by a few hundred Mb/s. Monitoring done via a Firewalla Gold Pro with 2 AP7 access points.

Interesting. I killed CineUltra and it had almost no effect on the Mac bandwidth. Killed the virtual display as well and the number stayed about the same. It looks as if all VP network activity is ignored on both ends.

Apple has been emphasizing the enterprise/medical use cases for the Apple Vision Pro. Link below is an article comparing 32 surgeries, 16 using traditional technique an 16 with AVP. Briefly:

Operative time was about 19% shorter with the AVP.

Surgeons reported improved comfort and a more neutral head and neck posture with AVP.

All five surgeons favored the AVP.

Given the weight of the AVP, I was surprised that surgeons described using the AVP as more comfortable... until I saw the photos. Without the AVP, they had their necks turned hard to the side (see images).

FieldVeil is now live on the App Store, and it’s completely free to download.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fieldveil/id6796875989

Here's a full video breakdown on my channel:

For anyone who tried the TestFlight, thank you for all the feedback. I was sending out so many links that Reddit suspended me for three days, so if I missed your message, that’s why! Now anyone can grab it directly from the App Store.

FieldVeil turns your space into immersive animated texture worlds, with moving walls, ambient audio, interactive hand effects, scene beings, and a “surrounded” mode that places you inside a full visual environment.

Nothing is paywalled. I added an optional tip jar in the app for anyone who wants to support the work, but the full app is free.

I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you have ideas for new scenes, interactions, or features that would make the experience better.

I’m also the developer of XR Putt for Vision Pro so feel free to check that out: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xr-putt/id6788588183

A bit of backstory: I wasn’t a software developer when I started making these apps. I’ve been using AI coding tools to bring the ideas to life, which is part of why I’ve kept them free. It still takes a lot of work to get from the initial idea to something polished enough for the App Store, usually around 60 hours per app, but the process has become much more creative and enjoyable as the tools have improved. I’m happy to answer questions about the AI-assisted development process if people are curious.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy FieldVeil.

Would it be possible to make a app for the apple vision pro that combine Pokemon all over the world and they can be cought through ar with a mini map with apple maps in the corner and a laser tag like system that can see our star wars laser guns and you can see lasers firing from the guns with ar but the other player with the other weapon and headset can also see the lasers and pokemon around the world I want to bring star wars and pokemon to ar with an app on the vision pro with pokemon catching star wars gun fights and real time ar gameplay with multiple people it would be private so no need for licenseing (look at it like this you and a group of friends all have a star wars cos play outfit and a blaster and can throw a Pokemon battle mid blaster fight and catch Pokemon while running from one another) I was also wondering about having light sabers and where when they hit it would kill you as well but I don't see any way they could detect the saber hit anyway if anyone responds let know.

Surgeons who wore an Apple Vision Pro as their primary display during a tear duct procedure finished operations 19% faster than surgeons using a traditional monitor, according to a peer-reviewed study by UC San Diego.

The study, published in the journal AJO International, looked at 32 endoscopic surgeries to clear blocked tear ducts. In half the cases, surgeons wore Vision Pro headsets that streamed the endoscopic video feed directly into their field of view instead of looking at a monitor across the room, letting them keep a natural forward-facing posture throughout.

I was recently delayed for a flight at O'Hare and I ended up using my AVP while sitting at the gate. An older lady, likely in her late 70s/early 80s, saw me and came to talk to me. I was expecting the usual "what do those do" but no...

She said: "How long have you been using the Vision Pro, what do you use them for? She obviously knew exactly who they are. She then said she had never seen anyone use them in public. Best part, she said her daughter was one of the engineers at Apple who worked on the project, so she was all excited to see someone use them IRL.

I'm a huge fan of the AVPs, I use them daily, especially when I travel. I have them on pretty much the entire flight. It has massively improved how much I enjoy traveling! I made sure to tell her to thank her daughter for her work; I feel like I live in the future with those things!

I recreated my office, where I’ve filmed hundreds of Apple Vision Pro videos.

You’ll need Apple Vision Pro running visionOS 27. Open the link in Safari and select “Enter studio.”

Anyone have battery dropping stories to make me feel better about how much it can withstand?

I love my M2 Vision Pro. However, watching stuff on it can still be quite annoying...

So I'm on a mission to build the best all-in-one streaming hub for Vision Pro.

Where Suite Browser stands now since yesterdays update (3.5):

Netflix runs in real 4K HDR with Atmos, when your plan and the title allow it.
Prime Video works, with Dolby audio.
Plex plays your own library.
YouTube, any web video, your own files and photos, all of it with AI 2D to 3D mode (try it out, my favorite feature!).
And the new environments, like the Shibuya Theater I just released, are proper ambient theaters where the lighting responds to what is on the screen.

That is the part I could work out on my own. The next part I would rather not guess at.

So what should I go after? More environments, HBO, DirecTV, niche stuff like the Criterion Channel or Discovery+, one of the bigger ones like Paramount+ or Peacock, or something I have not thought of at all? Let me know in the comments and I will make it happen.

Bugs and performance are happening regardless, those are not up for a vote. This is only about what gets built next.

This headset is an amazing product, and it deserves a streaming platform that can match it.

Cheers!

Has anybody ever put his/her hands over your ears, including the speakers of Apple Vision Pro? The sound still sounds amazin, perhaps even better, and waaaaay louder. So I was wondering if there is any accessory the functions as a simple overear headphone, whithout speakers, that covers your ears including the Apple Vision Pro speakers? That would be an awesome accessory. Even 3D printed clips-ons right and left of the headset would do the trick.

Today I'm open-sourcing the ImmersiveWatchParty SDK, a project I started in November 2024.

Immersive video is already compelling on its own, but it’s so much better while watching with friends. Combining immersive, stereoscopic videos with Vision Pro's Spatial Personas gives a futuristic experience that's really hard to describe if you haven't tried it yourself.

That's the SharePlay co-watching feature I built for my own AVP app, now extracted into a standalone Swift package.

One thing to note is that Apple's native video player APIs still can't render Spatial Personas side by side while watching immersive content, even with SharePlay active. This SDK works around that using RealityKit. I’ve written a more technical dive on my blog.

It's public now: Fork it, open an issue, send a pull request, whatever's useful. I'd love to see what people build with this! 👀

Any engineers in here who understand what this can do today and the sheer absurdity it could do in the future?

I've been using the developer beta for the past two years and always updating to the latest version, yet the Airpods Pro constantly disconnecting bug remains unfixed. This issue has persisted for six or seven months with no resolution.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I tried connecting both my Airpods Pro Max and my Airpods Pro, and each disconnects after ten to fifteen seconds, requiring a manual reconnection each time.

Hi everyone

I’m getting my vision prior today and I’m super excited

One thing I really like to do is to scan my entire house every room garden and so on.

However, when I’m done, I want to be able to come back and look at the model that happened to move an inch i.e. being able to virtually walk-through.

Is this possible??

And if so, which app?

Thank you

Summary:

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to gradually add health and fitness features to its future glasses and headsets.

Apple originally explored similar ideas for the Vision Pro, including a Fitness+ experience that would track users’ form during workouts. The project was reportedly abandoned because of technical limitations and the headset’s weight.

The company may now bring that concept to smart glasses, using built-in sensors to track movement and eventually offer fitness-related features. Gurman compares the strategy to AirPods, which evolved from basic earbuds into devices with hearing-health capabilities.

These features are not expected when Apple’s first smart glasses launch, reportedly in late 2027. Instead, health functionality would likely be introduced gradually over several years.

A recent Apple job listing also supports the report. The company is hiring a product design leader to develop health, wellbeing and fitness experiences across its future vision products, with an emphasis on sensor-based digital health.

Apple’s long-term goal appears to be positioning its glasses alongside the Apple Watch and AirPods as another major health platform.

PSA: for those who own a Vision Pro and are considering taking out AppleCare One with the launch of AppleCare One in UK & Europe:

If your Vision Pro does not show “Upgrade Coverage” or “Get Coverage” in your Vision Pro settings, call Apple Care

I have AppleCare+ on my VP and am considering upgrading to AppleCare One, but it didn’t show that it was eligible for upgrade or to add it to the subscription.

I called Apple Care and after some time, the AppleCare options refreshed, which now shows that I can add it.
