Yes, almost every day.

I spend approximately 60-70% of my time working with the headset on, connected to my MacBook. It’s actually better for me than my physical display because of the Zeiss inserts - I usually don’t wear glasses, so due to inserts, the desktop is subjectively crisper than the monitor :) I really can’t wait for visionOS 2 improvements in the virtual display feature.

Most of the media content I consume alone, and Vision Pro is perfect for that, especially watching something before sleep - the headset does not light up the entire room (unlike a phone/tablet screen) and thus does not mess up my wife’s sleep.

One thing I surprisingly don’t use it for are “immersive” videos and other experiences like VR or MR games. I’m not quite sure why - I always plan to try something out, but never do it actually.




> the headset does not light up the entire room

Isn't there this front display for the pass-through eyes? That switches off automatically if there is no interaction, or it's just not very bright?


Front display is very dim, and yes, it mostly turns on for interactions.


re. Zeiss inserts - do you have astigmatism ?


Yup - my correction is not very strong, I usually don’t wear glasses at all, and I was able to use Vision Pro without inserts just fine, but with inserts subjective sharpness is much better.
