I went to an apple store, saw a vision pro and asked if I could try it on. They said you had to schedule an appointment, then they would take you through a supervised viewing or whatever.
This gave me the impression it wasn't ready for general use, and they would have to control your impression of the thing while selling you on it.
I know that VR is hard, and AR is much harder, but this made me think apple still hasn't cracked it.
As to single app - I figure the thing has to be hard real-time to do things without giving you a headache or nausea/vomiting. that probably doesn't leave room for a lot of sharing of resources.
In the end, I think this is a iphone 1.0 type device, and only continued development with deep pockets will make it viable, eventually.
The appointment is fairly hands off. The employee checks your prescription, installs the right lenses and helps you have a good fit, possibly trying other lenses if you’re having issues.
There isn’t any prep I saw that they would have to do before they could except a walk-in.
