I tried on Apple’s new $3.5K Vision Pro VR headset — here’s what it was like to use this strange, impressive gizmo
NY Post
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.
I was among the few hundred people who lined up before sunrise Friday outside Apple’s New York City flagship store on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue for the launch of the company’s futuristic $3,500 gizmo.
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.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
