Some Apple Vision Pro users suffer black eyes, headaches, and neck pain

Apple Vision Pro
Several early adopters of Apple’s mixed-reality headset tell MarketWatch that the fit and weight of the devices has been a “pain point” — but they still like Apple’s spatial computer nonetheless.

Emily Olman got her $3,500 device in February and told MarketWatch that it gave her two black eyes after she wore it for the first time for about an hour.
“I wasn’t able to use it very much the first few weeks because the fit was just off,” said Olman, chief media officer at Hopscotch Interactive, who is based in Kensington, Calif. Olman creates videos with the device for commercial and residential real-estate clients.
She added that she had “like, superdark black eyes,” after wearing the Apple Vision Pro, which, she said, “clearly [placed] too much weight on my cheeks.”
“You are wearing a computer strapped to your face,” said Jeremy Bailenson, who studies virtual reality at Stanford University and recently published research concerning the psychological effects of passthrough video usage in mixed reality… Overuse of any headset, including Apple’s, could lead to temporary general discomfort, distraction from the real world and “simulator sickness,” which is akin to motion sickness, according to Bailenson.
Dr. Zuhaib Ibrahim, a New Jersey plastic surgeon, said he experiences headaches after more than two hours on AR/VR headsets during procedures in the operating room. “You need to take a break,” he said.

MacDailyNews Take: Apple Vision Pro is a DevKit and should have been released as such, but something had to be released ahead of the looming Project Titan cancelation void — something else to point at and talk about other than failure, including the major issue of Apple’s “leadership” being blindsided by GenAI (which will take years from which to recover) — hence the release of the Vision Pro into the mass consumer market ahead of its time. (Just imagine this year so far if the Vision Pro didn’t hit the market in February!)
Regular people who want to use an Apple spatial computer should wait for subsequent versions which will be lighter and more affordable. If you cannot wait: get your Vision Pro properly fitted, lie on your back with your head supported to watch movies, etc.!
