Chris Armstrong is thinking out loud.

Finally got a chance to try Apple Vision. First thoughts:

• It’s definitely impressive and feels magical. My brain couldn’t quite fathom that others weren’t seeing what I was seeing.

• It’s fuzzier than I expected. Maybe my peripheral vision is just exceptionally good, but I really noticed the foveated rendering.

• The eye tracking is impressive, but I often missed selecting something because I looked at it, then glanced away as I was tapping it, meaning my tap didn't register.

• I probably just had it on wrong but the headset never felt comfortable to me.

• It seems odd that I have to reach up to hit the digital crown to get back to the homescreen... that feels like it should just be a gesture.

• Watching the Avatar 3D movie demo felt even fuzzier

• The environments felt more real than I’d expected

• The keynote “presentation environment” thing is pretty cool, but weird that there’s no audience

• Rotating 3D objects with two hands in Jig felt really intuitive
