I use my Vision Pro every single day. I love sitting in my yard in the sun with my Mac mirrored in the center, a music player hanging out on my left, a web browser with documentation on the right. Using the double loop strap I don't even notice I'm wearing it after a few minutes and I treat the battery more as a UPS than something to run off of except for when I go make myself coffee and play a game or watch a video while doing so.

Having used other VR headsets (like the Valve Index) the Vision Pro is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, not just in hardware but software as well. After using the index for a bit everything would always feel a bit "weird" after taking the headset off. I don't get that at all with the Vision Pro.

I can't wait for VisionOS 2.0 to deliver a closer macOS integration (being able to give individual macOS applications their own windows (à la VMWare Fusion), and use eye tracking as the cursor) but even the current version is - for my specific use case - an absolute game changer.

What do you do wearing a Vision Pro in your yard?

I'm still mostly surrounded by large 2D panels of information (Xcode, Safari, terminal windows, etc.). I do fill the space with these panels. It's not uncommon for me to have 5-6 things around my Mac's virtual display.

I've been on a quest to maximize my flow state for over a decade, it's been a terrible beast to tame with my ADHD. I'm finding the Vision Pro helps because of the intuitive nature of the UI. My brain expects the thing I'm looking at to be the thing that receives input, and this is naturally the case in VisionOS.

I'm also having a ton of fun learning Swift and RealityKit, something I likely would never have picked up if it wasn't for this iPad strapped to my face.

How do you find coding outside different?

Honestly curious, as it's been more distracting to me, the times I've tried it in 2D form.

The Vision Pro takes away all the glare you'd normally get on a screen, and (to me) that basically reduces the distractions down to zero. If I need fewer distractions still, I'll pull up one of the environments (I like the moon!) and then all visual noise is drowned out entirely.

So you use it for web surfing?

While working it's a combination of web surfing, terminals and documentation in PDF form. When I'm not working, watching movies on the thing is an absolute treat and Moonlight works pretty flawlessly for large-screen gaming.
