Apple made a Lensometer that can extract your prescription from lenses in glasses so they tune a VisionPro for you - pretty cool tech. Although don’t most people buying a $3500 device know their prescription? Or at least can look it up in their email on their iPhone? I wish they’d made a device that instantly determined your current prescription by safely scanning the shape and state of your eyes. That would be more globally useful…
The availability of Vision Pro is a big deal but I'm actually more excited about something else Apple put in their stores today. Rx at point of sale is happening now.
What is the official name of the instrument? Is the funcunality independent to Vision Pro?
A common pattern in many Apple products nowadays. I don’t need another lens or super duper liquid XXDR display, I need a phone with a longer-lasting battery and faster charging. People are beginning to realize that the increase in price tag for a solution to a made up problem is just not worth it. It appears that Apple is losing sight of the essence of true innovation.
I’d put a few dollars on this being a premium product play. It’s some what functionally redundant but it gives a extremely high end perception that this is wholey different experience than buying a quest from best buy. It’s a price tag remorse removal device.
Most of us know likely the plus or minus factor, but the cylinder and axis.. well I’d have to go look it up…
I don't really understand this - optometrists have been getting Rx off glasses forever! I assume it has a correction factor for the Vision Pro?
