Apple Vision Pro can display legible text, and the pass-through camera's resolution is also enough to read printed text. At least, that's what I read about it.

At this point, the only dimensions to improve would be weight and price.

However, motion sickness is a real problem. With sufficiently good pass-through, it might not be that bad, but in my Quest 3, I get motion sick after 15 minutes at most when gaming. It's a bit better in pass-through mode, but most software doesn't seem to support it.

It's not even close to sitting in front of the cheapest full HD office monitor, not to speak of a modern 4K screen. I don't think anybody seriously writes text for a living with a Vision Pro in front of their eyes right now.

Maybe they'll fix all the other problems those headsets have, and the average consumer will accept a regression in image quality - just like when we transitioned from CRT monitors to LCD screens (it took something like 15 years until LCDs caught up with the best CRTs available).

I actually think colours still feel wrong.


Have you tried chewing on a ginger root beforehand?
