"Apple Vision Pro: From Over-Engineered Devkit to Top Spatial Gaming Picks"

Hugo Barra, former head of Oculus at Meta, referred to Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset as an "over-engineered devkit" in a blog post. He sees it as a high-quality devkit designed to capture interest while being realistically focused on developers, but also believes it has the potential to generate mainstream consumer demand for VR devices in the future. Despite its high price and limited app availability, Barra views Vision Pro as a promising device that has increased interest in VR experiences among mainstream users.

"Unveiling the Apple Vision Pro: A Game-Changer in Tech Innovation"

Former Oculus head Hugo Barra criticizes Apple's first-generation Vision Pro headset as an "over-engineered devkit" with excessive sensors, leading to a weight of over 600 grams and discomfort after 30-45 minutes of use. Barra suggests that the device is positioned as a high-quality devkit to prepare for a more mainstream Apple VR headset in the future. He also notes intentional blurriness to hide pixelation artifacts, but criticizes significant motion blur and image quality issues in passthrough mode. Apple is reportedly working on multiple new Apple Vision models, including a low-cost version and a second-generation version.
