Not surprised. Total grams is only part of the story. Balance & strap design are critical. Battery in back helps balance, neck strain. Soft strap is less clunky, but less comfortable for long sessions. Top strap will be essential despite marketing photos.

'Many' Vision Pro testers reportedly find it too heavy for multi-hour use. Apple is reportedly considering selling a top strap accessory.

I've thrown some other companies under the bus on Twitter when they had bad support. So I wanted to high five @polkaudio for standing behind their stuff. So refreshing!.

Shoutout to @polkaudio for some legendary warranty support! 🙌. One of our Atrium 5 speakers had water damage. Couldn't find the receipt or remember where/when they were bought . I was just hoping to purchase repair parts, instead they replaced the speaker without hassle.

Looks like Apple Vision Pro supports indirect cursor-based manipulation gestures as well (similar to Quest for far field panels). This looks very promising. Gaze-assist seems like a slick touch!.
For example, a dragging interaction (not scroll) is probably not easy/possible to perform with gaze+hold. Or painting/annotating interactions.

Apple admitting Vision Pro is a VR headset 😋 .(a label they avoided during the keynote).
"Apple's WWDC keynote showed @recroom listed in a section of the visionOS App Store titled 'Apps and Games We Love', and in a WWDC developer talk Apple and Unity confirmed this refers to the full VR version of Rec Room, not just the iOS app.".

I can only image there is an Apple PM out there who knows this challenge too well. I would love to buy them a beer to appreciate their efforts!. I still owe @AdamOpenWeb more beer for his valient efforts at 2D App/Web compat for Meta Quest.

These are all solvable problems (to a degree). But these types of ecosystem compatibility challenges on a new device paradigm are a slog to work though. OS compat shims. Developer outreach and NRE payments. UX affordances and graceful degredation. Etc.

At $3500, device volumes will be low initially. This complicates the matter as many devs simply won't see the ROI to update for a small audience and many won't have the hardware to test.
