Former Head of Oculus at Meta, Hugo Barra, shares his perspective on the Apple Vision Pro, praising its over-engineered “devkit” design, genius hardware decisions, and unparalleled user interface. He highlights the device’s exceptional passthrough experience, precise eye tracking, and hand gestures, comparing it to Apple’s revolutionary retina display and multi-touch gestures in the iPhone. Barra acknowledges the weight and comfort issues of the Vision Pro, attributing them to Apple’s focus on aesthetics over practicality. He commends Apple’s groundbreaking micro-OLED display, noting its exclusivity and potential for competition in the VR market. Barra also discusses Apple’s intentional decision to blur the display for smoother graphics, calling it a clever and unique approach to VR hardware design.
