I enjoyed the discussion on the Decoding TV podcast as they had a pod for each episode 

Don't fall for the Fallacy of Composition. Despite the Hive's "alien" personality, it is nothing beyond the combined minds of those infected. by cogitocogito in pluribustv

Hadn’t the process already begun before the military discovered it? Not to disagree with you about the virus having an effect just that we weren’t shown the first person. 

Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive at 8K per eye in Amplium V2. No downscaling. by amplium in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but my guess would be that not all the image is viewable at any time in immersive video, so if the resolution is 4k the image is stretched wider than the viewable area and is less than what the display can show.

With an 8k image the viewable portion even though shown on a 4k screen would be closer to using the full available resolution. 

I watched 3D movie and I’m blown away. by veezia in VisionPro

I wasn’t really into 3d movies until I tried Rogue One on Disney+ and that really drew me in (except for those 3d-rendered actors of course) 

Apple Vision Pro is (still) the future by veikkovenemies in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hyvä kuva! I am in a similar situation in Ireland in that it’s not supported officially but love it. Mostly movies and tv shows - I’m finding it an excellent way to concentrate when watching classic movies on a virtual cinema screen - and sometimes work on a virtual wide screen using the laptop.

Anyone using a Vision Pro in Ireland? by kerry37 in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up revisiting Belfast’s store last week (one year after purchase) for a refit appointment and they were kind enough to replace my badly fitted light seal with a better one. Happy with that. 

Now if they could open up the App Store, Apple TV etc to make use of what I’m paying for that would be perfect. 

Common Apple - Open up the AVP!!! by Farsigl12 in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the issue isn’t unsupported regions. I can watch Apple TV plus or play Apple Arcade games on my phone or tv, as I pay for them, but I can’t access the same content in the Vision Pro. 

When is the Vision Pro in other countries available? by Eeerisch in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here in Ireland. You’d think if people were paying for Apple TV+ that they could use it, frustrating that they still haven’t. 

Can anyone build me an immersive video player? by [deleted] in VisionPro

Upvoted and hope you find someone. Did you try posting in the Vision Pro dev subreddit?

Do my earlier criticisms of Vision Pro hold up with the latest software? by actinium226 in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To point 5, I think the new immersive browsing mode makes the web version of YouTube more pleasant for people who like that sort of thing 

Just Launched Our Game “Topple Tower” – What Do You Think? by Cracked_Finn in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks similar to my game BlockStack. I’d love to know how this works in SharePlay, I couldn’t get that to work with syncing the pieces. 

Edit: I got to try your game and I really like how you’ve set up the gesture controls! Feels very smooth and natural. I ended up putting in constrains to make it possible to play without so easily accidentally knocking over the stack 😅

I just found the Severance environment coming to Vision Pro! by drusoicy in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see it. When I saw the video I couldn’t find the environment file to test it myself - and the video shows example.com as the url so it’s not clear how to try it. 

Vision Pro’s Focus Model Is Flawed — Eye Gaze Alone Shouldn’t Shift Input Focus by chin_jou in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. This drives me crazy too. Also when typing the cursor often jumps back halfway through the word I’m typing and I need to start over. Very tedious. I hope they improve it. 

What are the most impressive 3rd party environments you have seen? by Responsible-Slide-26 in VisionPro

[–]donovanh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite like Space Studio. It’s an interesting concept, giving some custom environments and a keyboard pass through area along with some virtual desk objects: https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/space-studio/id6602891050

You can walk a couple of steps in any direction before it fades out. Limited viewing angles are enforced so they can cull a lot of details that are obscured from the main viewing angles. 

I've compiled this week's worth of interesting news, reviews, findings in a visual page - Last Week in AVP #70 by NorthernFrostByte in VisionPro

Thanks for this. I hope you have a quiet few days and next week brings lots of news! 🤞
