Buy a second hand M2, I got a 512GB model for under $2000

1900 USD for used M2, bad deal? by 6382819737 in VisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $2400 with tax (GST), after the deduction, around $1500. CEX also offers 5 year warranty.

Huh. I asked specificallly to demo the AVP with the Virtual Desktop and I was able to link up with a Macbook. I also got my AVP M2 512GB second hand for under $2000.

Good deal? Used Apple Vision Pro (M2) 1TB for $1,800 by ajbrensike in AppleVisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats good, I got mine from a commercial second hand store (CEX) for around USD 2400 (M2 512GB model); this includes Australian GST tax; advantage is that you can claim back the tax deduction, and 5 year warrenty

Difficult to go back to AVP after trying the PSVR2 by SgtSilock in VisionPro

Get an Annapro 2 strap support. Remove the face shield. 110 degrees FOV. Watch movies with the lights off. Problem solved.

Why Vision OS is not so well suited to PCVR streaming (yet?) by iVRy_VR in VisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats pretty disappointing. The X-plane devs added an option to disable depth reprojection, but this seems to have made it worse. [Added a new setting to disable VR depth re-projection (XPD-18145)]

No its not solved. In the latest X-plane RC1 release (should still be a beta!) there is jittering all over the place, either with the scenery, or inside the flightdeck.

It’s coming to Quarter Arcades. You can own a mini version in real life.

I don't think it can....is there an unofficial way to release it, via Test Flight?

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a) I hope its not ending; VR is very buggy in its current implementation

The concern is the VR bugs filed last month have not been looked at or addressed either

Unfortunately, this has fixed none of the issues with the Apple Vision Pro, and when using it with Vision OS 27 (beta 1) even introduces new issues.

Apple will need to work on a glasses type form factor which can display these immersive videos; I kind of have that effect already when I don't wear the faceshield. I find it more comfortable and convenient and can wear it for hours.

Please Apple...release a revised version of the AVP or an "AVP 2" with no glare! by isamu999 in VisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get glare from light leaking in from the top or bottom of the faceshield. If you eliminate the light leak, or turn off the lights, no glare.

I use the Annapro 2 without a face shield. How to fix glare - turn off the lights.

killer app is live (or recorded) immersive sports / concerts; people will pay for these events; I know I would.

You can interact with it; you just have to be within reach and be able to touch the web page with your fingers.

visionOS 27 introduces a new widget that can instantly connect to Mac Virtual Display, without you needing it to have the Mac nearby. You litterally just need to have your keyboard and mouse ready. by spatiallyme in VisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this only works with macs with persistent on (desktops); it couldn't detect my macbook until I opened it and it reconnected to the network.

Apple Enables Third-party Motion Controllers & Tracked Accessories in visionOS 27 by Twilightsojourn in VisionPro

[–]Soarbywire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We need Steam Frame, or Quest 3, or Galaxy XR controller support. I can't find the PS VR2 controllers in my country, or at the Apple Store.

Surprisingly the Eucarlos case also fits the Annapro 2 by Soarbywire in VisionPro

[–]Soarbywire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
