Want to try Apple Vision Pro for yourself? Following the launch of the device when Apple Stores only offered first-come first-serve demos, you can now make an appointment to guarantee a time slot. Here’s how to reserve a Vision Pro demo at Apple.
For Vision Pro demos, Apple gives 30 minutes of one-on-one time with a specialist to experience visionOS. Here’s how Apple describes what to expect:
The Specialist will set you up with Apple Vision Pro, making sure everything is personalized to you and your vision needs.
You’ll get to try Apple Vision Pro for yourself and experience the magic of spatial computing.
Tip: If you wear glasses or contacts, choose the latter if you can to save time. Also, keep in mind Apple requires customers to be at least 13 years old to book a demo.
And Apple warns that “If you are at risk for falls or seizures or have a serious medical condition, consult your physician before using Apple Vision Pro.”

I decided to book one. The demo convinced me that, at some point, I will get one of these. I could go on and on about all the great stuff - short version: This Developer-since-the-1970s is impressed. But here's my list of the things that I personally would want to see addressed - and I have full confidence that Apple WILL address these issues - this is V1.00 after all.
$3,499 plus extras is steep. I figure the cost will come down a LITTLE as more features and fixes are introduced.
Can't reset the passcode, apparently. This is a software fix.
Can't yet handle progressive bifocals. I'm nearsighted and their lens-scanner didn't do a perfect job on my glasses, even though it's a fairly mild prescription (I still pass driver eye tests without glasses). The "bottom" of the image was razor-perfect - but up at the top (where my prescription is stronger because that's where I look when, say, driving) wasn't focused right. I'd basically say "disregard the top of my glasses" when trying to find the right inserts.
The weight. I didn't have it adjusted properly - thought I did - but it got painful as time went on. Advice on adjusting it from the Apple employee (who was doing only her second demo) helped a LOT and I see how the top band will help - but this MUST get lighter, and will.
For me, it's a matter of time. Seeing sports, concerts and movies through this is, pardon the pun, game-changing.
