Hugo Barra, a former Meta executive and a VR enthusiast, shares his comprehensive analysis of Apple’s Vision Pro headset. He praises its technical marvels, such as the high-fidelity passthrough and gaze & pinch interaction, while critiquing the initial lack of compelling software and the device’s heavy weight. Barra sees the Vision Pro as a pioneering ‘devkit’, essential for developing curiosity and setting new standards but anticipates that future iterations will better cater to broader consumer appeal. The review also highlights Apple’s potential to redefine VR’s market dynamics and the immense possibilities of its Immersive Video format, especially for live sports, despite the uncanny valley concerns with hyperrealistic content.
