The Vision Pro is a FAIL*

Two years and one month after Apple's Vision Pro arrived here, I finally bit the bullet and created a boj post using its virtual Mac display feature.

You just read it: the "Liquid Sky" appreciation published earlier today.

Doing so was janky and difficult and unpleasant for a number of reasons.

1) When sitting in a chair, which is necessary if you're going to use the virtual Mac display for typing etc., the Vision Pro even with its long delayed improved head harness is still uncomfortably heavy. 

Tim Cook and all the shills and fanbois who say they wear the device all day for work are lying.

2) The power cord to the battery is still annoying when it brushes your shoulder or back 

3) The resolution of the virtual display is terrible compared to the physical screen: it's fuzzy even up close, and should you wish to have the screen be many feet wide, which you can, reading letters and numbers requires a lot of effort because of the magnified graininess.

4) If you choose to put up multiple virtual windows simultaneously, you find that they're not all identical: the top bar for Chrome:

                   File  Edit View History Bookmarks Profiles Tab Window Help

for example, only appears on one screen, so when you add a new tab on a second or third or fourth screen, you have to go back with your cursor to the first screen to get the New Tab option from its drop-down menu.

Annoying and clunky.

*With one exception: Watching movies and shows at home. They look magnificent in the Vision Pro's 6k resolution on the giant virtual screen size you choose — up to 40 feet!

The sound is fantastic and one great thing is that while you're listening at full surround sound volume, others in the room can't hear anything.

Lagniappe: using it in the middle of the day is magical, as you close off all the light and commotion and find yourself in a perfectly dark virtual theater with no phones or sounds of eating and talking etc.

The ideal way to watch is while lying flat with your head supported on a pillow; I use my Plufl, which turns out to be perfect for me and enables my cat to comfortably nap on my lap.
