Wall Street Journal journalist Joanna Stern was among the first to get her hands on the new Vision Pro. While she liked the device, the end of Stern’s video review left people concerned. In the video, she said that toward the end of her use, the tip of her nose and forehead began to feel the weight of the glasses.
She took a photo showing red marks on her forehead and nose. She also felt nauseous during the 30-minute demo.
Apple says Stern’s discomfort with the Vision Pro may be due to the fact that it only comes in one size of Light Seal. The Light Seal is a gasket that wraps around the lens and attaches magnetically to the display, keeping light out of the way between the device and the wearer’s face. The glasses also have a head band that goes around the back of the head to keep them in place. Both are removable and replaceable.
According to Stern, Apple will add a Light Seal option when the glasses go on sale early next year. The comfort of wearing VR/AR glasses for long periods of time is a concern for manufacturers. When the Oculus Rift glasses first launched, many users experienced red marks on their foreheads and cheeks. That's why almost all glasses on sale, like the Meta Quest 2, use plastic shells to make them lighter and reduce pressure on the forehead and nose. However, the downside is that it looks cheaper.
Apple’s Vision Pro is made of aluminum alloy and glass, which makes it look much better than its competitors. However, it adds to the overall weight of the device. Apple wants to minimize that by designing a strap and using a removable battery, connected to the glasses via a wire. It shows that even the “bitten apple” has to compromise between aesthetics and comfort.
