There was a bit of staging going on in that demo.

Like when the fellow walks up in frame perfectly between two windows and hands the viewer something.

Or the FaceTime call where the woman was talking to 3 other people – why weren't they wearing the goggles?

But these would be great on an airplane and probably other circumstances. I doubt I will be buying any time soon though.



> why weren't they wearing the goggles?

Vision Pro uses an ML model to present you without the googles if you are using FaceTime.


They did a nice slight of hand to make it look more impressive.

The first FaceTime demo had actual people.

The second FaceTime demo showed the ML model and it lacked multiple people.


Yes - there are definitely questions around how good the ML model will look.

To me it wasn’t amazing.


I'm sure that will look super realistic.


Vision Pro wearers don't show up in FaceTime as wearing goggles though: they show a simulated face that responds to facial gestures (basically a high-res Memoji)


> Or the FaceTime call where the woman was talking to 3 other people – why weren't they wearing the goggles?

I wondered about that too, but if you watch the whole announcement, they explain it. They create a 3D avatar of you for FaceTime.


that's how it will be, because there will only ever be at most one person using one of these things. The others are on their phones or macbooks.
