You have to be a real techie to like Apple’s Vision Pro.
For starters, you can rarely move your head when using the virtual-reality headset or you have to start again.
And your eyes and hands are doing almost all the work.

Once inside the crowded showroom, I registered for a Vision Pro demonstration — open only to people 13 years and up — which required filling out a detailed questionnaire about my eyesight, given that glasses cannot be worn with the headset.
People who wear glasses must have their prescription measured with a special device manufactured by a third party and then use optical inserts in the headset to adjust the visuals.
