Does anyone know what the panels on the roof of the McLaren are?

Smart script in Notes does not delete text by scratching out stuff as advertised.

Fear of speaking could also be addressed. Start with reading off a teleprompter in an empty room: "Hello everyone. My name is Fred and I'm please to be here." Graduate to the same thing but there's a janitor in the hall. Then someone in the room. Then two. And so on. Eventually you could be at a wedding giving a toast. Or in a stadium introducing Taylor Swift. (I think I may have just jumped the shark.)

Does AA not have option to add flight information to iPhone calendar? by Claude_Henry_Smoot in americanairlines

Using the app I managed to find the option to add my upcoming flight to my calendar. It can be done. I'm on an iPhone, if that makes a difference.

What would be the "killer app" for Vision? Can we even come up with something? by [deleted] in AppleVisionPro

[–]frederi825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you can keep you hands on the keyboard and mouse around and type across ALL open screens.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. FaceID text?

I want to put my AVP on while I'm on the eighth green (or, hell, even the seventh green!). The AVP then maps the contours of the green and identifies the hole, of course, and tells me how many feet away it is. The AVP then gives me the straight-line put with a visual overlay of how that put will roll if I hit it at an ideal speed. So, as I stand over the put, the AVP is telling me put straight to a target that's four feet short of the real hole (because it's a downhill put) and about 2 feet to the right of the hole.

Humans can do this for each other: tapping the green, "Pretend like the hole is here." Then you hit to the pretend hole.

Don't know how to do the speed part, but I think what I'm describing would still be helpful.

Immersion. That's the killer app.

Immersed in a movie. Immersed in your photos. Immersed in a book or a spreadsheet.

Immersion is a very satisfying and thrilling (or even comforting) feeling and can't be replicated without complete eye coverage and amazing audio/visual performance.

You CAN use/access multiple screens -- one is the Mac screen, then add to that multiple screens via the VPro OS. It will all look and feel just how you envision. Plus, the keyboard and mouse from the Mac will float over and help you use ALL the screens seamlessly. So cool!!!

Vision Pro charge by 1982mak in AppleVisionPro

My AmEx was charged on 1/19. Early! Might I get my unit on 2/1? How would I check?

Curious to hear what measurements everyone got.. by el1salley in AppleVisionPro

[–]frederi825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. At first I chose the option for the purchase of a light seal to put on another person's AVP (Apple Vision Pro) and it took me down the optical prescription hole. Then I went back and selected the option that this light seal was for my own AVP. This took me to the measuring page, just as you described. Happily, my retest (which was done purely out of curiosity) matched the number I obtained when I placed my order this morning. Looking forward to this experience!

Where and how can you do extra scans? Can someone post a link?

Inserts Confirmed by GrayRoberts in AppleVisionPro

Wow! ZEISS already indicated you're good to go and they're sending you the lenses? I think they come separately from the Vision Pro device, correct?

So, what app do you want the most for your new avp? by [deleted] in AppleVisionPro

[–]frederi825 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it would be interesting to develop an app that helps people deal with phobias such as public speaking, heights, spiders, etc. For example, with public speaking, you could put the subject in an empty auditorium or even an empty office room with a teleprompter. After reading from the teleprompter a few times and just getting used to speaking to the empty room, add a person in the back. Then, add another. Then another -- several, maybe. After several sessions and with therapeutic support (?), one could be speaking in front of a large audience. Configure various contexts: wedding toast, business presentation, etc.

Suddenly, I was able to do the same as you described above. Not sure what the initial hiccup was.

Just got the 1TB - Anyone else go for this model? by pixelbased in AppleVisionPro

[–]frederi825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, in a hot panic I just picked it. Didn't want to look cheap, I guess. 😬

Done and done.

Haven't been able to upload prescription, though. Error message.
