Come with us as we unpack our experience with the much-anticipated Apple Vision Pro VR headset, alongside the insights of Adam Kontras from Virtual Presence Productions. We didn't hold back on our initial excitement turned to dismay, facing a slew of technical issues like pixel smearing that led us to question if this device is truly market-ready. It was an unexpected twist to find ourselves tipping our hats to the Quest 3 for its versatility and comfort, making it a surprisingly practical tool for everyday work in virtual environments.
Creating immersive content isn't just about having the right tools; it's about resonating with your audience and turning your vision into reality.
