Significant number of Vision Pro returns due to comfort issues and the close of Apple’s return policy.
Users report headaches, motion sickness, and other physical discomforts from the headset’s design.
Vision Pro criticized for lacking practicality in professional settings and everyday tasks.
Prescription limitations hinder accessibility for users with specific vision correction needs.
In the aftermath of themuch-anticipated launch of Apple’s Vision Pro, a $3,500 investment in cutting-edge virtual reality, a wave of early adopters are now experiencing buyer’s remorse.
As the initial excitement fades, a significant number of users are deciding to return their headsets, coinciding with the close of Apple’s 14-day return policy period.
Vision Pro’s Lack of Comfort
Can’t wait to return the Vision Pro, probably the most mind blowing piece of tech I’ve ever tried.
Can’t deal with these headaches after 10 minutes of use though.
— Rjey (@RjeyTech) February 14, 2024
The primary grievance among dissatisfied customers centers on the headset’s comfort—or lack thereof.
Reports of headaches, motion sickness, and even a burst blood vessel underscore the physical discomfort some users are facing.
The device’s weight, particularly its front-loaded design, exacerbates these issues, making extended use untenable for some.
Parker Ortolani of The Verge candidly shared his own ordeal, stating that despite the device’s innovative appeal, its physical discomfort made it unbearable to wear even for brief intervals.
Lack of Practicality
Two hours after unboxing my Apple Vision Pro and using it, I decided to box it back up again and return it. It’s quite cool, but there’s nothing in it for me that I’ll use frequently enough to warrant my keeping it.
— Alexander Torrenegra (@torrenegra) February 13, 2024
Beyond physical discomfort, the Vision Pro’s practicality in everyday tasks is also under scrutiny.
From dizziness, while navigating digital workspaces like Figma to the inadequacy of the coding experience, the Vision Pro seems to fall short of its promise to revolutionize how we work.
Like a lot of people, I wear glasses to correct my eyesight. I can pass an eye exam and drive a motorcycle, but I cannot use Apple Vision Pro. As it turns out, I won’t be able to use Apple’s new product called Vision due to my own vision. ( 9 to 5 mac)
Further fueling disillusionment are challenges of multitasking, unsupported file types, and inefficiencies in basic tasks like creating presentations.
These criticisms point towards a broader issue with wearable technology:the challenge of creating a one-size-fits-all device that accommodates the unique anatomical and professional needs of a diverse user base.
Beyond that, the Vision Pro has some more unique problems. Zac Hall, a writer for 9to5Mac,encountered a significant hurdle with Apple’s Vision Pro due to his unique eyeglass prescription, which falls outside the supported range for the device’s corrective lenses.
Despite his anticipation and efforts to integrate the Vision Pro into his tech repertoire, Hall was informed by ZEISS, the manufacturer of the Vision Pro’s optical inserts, that his prescription exceeded their current capabilities for customization.
TLDR the eye prescription is stronger than what ZEISS supports for now “Not all prescriptions are supported”
This limitation led to a disappointing realization for Hall, who had previously enjoyed a demo of the Vision Pro at an Apple Store, albeit without the clarity his prescription would provide.
ZEISS reviewed the prescription & determined that it did not support making optical inserts for the needs.
FAQs
Why are people returning the Apple Vision Pro?
Many users are returning the Vision Pro due to comfort issues such as headaches and motion sickness, as well as the device’s inability to meet practical needs in professional environments.
What limitations does the Vision Pro have for users with glasses?
The Vision Pro requires custom optical inserts for users who wear glasses. However, prescriptions exceeding ZEISS’s support limit, such as a cylinder value greater than -3.25, cannot be accommodated, affecting users with specific vision correction needs.
How does the Vision Pro’s design impact user comfort?
The headset’s weight, mainly concentrated in the front, contributes to user discomfort during extended use, making it challenging for some to wear it even for short periods.
Can the Vision Pro be used for professional work?
Users have reported difficulties using the Vision Pro for tasks like coding and design work, citing issues with dizziness, multitasking, and unsupported file types that limit its effectiveness as a productivity tool.
Are there any solutions for users with prescriptions not supported by the Vision Pro?
For those whose prescriptions exceed the supported range for Vision Pro’s optical inserts, alternatives like contact lenses may be considered, though they may not offer the same level of visual clarity as glasses for some users.

How to Use Apple Vision Pro with vision prescriptions and vision conditions ?
Apple Vision Pro supports a wide range of vision prescription and vision condition needs. Certain prescription needs and conditions may impact the viewing experience.
Learn about your options if you use prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, if you have certain vision conditions, or if you’ve had vision correction surgery.
How to use Apple Vision Pro If you wear prescription eyeglasses ?
You cannot wear Apple Vision Pro while wearing eyeglasses. If you require prescription eyeglasses, including for astigmatism, you may be able to order prescription ZEISS Optical Inserts that can be used with your Vision Pro.
To purchase ZEISS Optical Inserts for Apple Vision Pro, you need a legible comprehensive prescription. Here’s the information your comprehensive prescription should contain:
Your distance correction needs and/or your near correction needs, indicated separately but on the same prescription sheet. This is known as the full manifest refraction by eye care providers.
An expiration date (that’s not expired).
Your full name, and your prescriber’s license number and signature.
Your eye exam or issue date.
Intermediate distance, task distance, or computer distance should not be part of that prescription, and contact lens prescriptions are not accepted. If you’re not sure if your prescription is comprehensive, consult an eye care provider and reference the description in this article.
ZEISS Optical Inserts are available for the vast majority of corrections, including for customers who normally use progressive or bifocal lenses.
A very small percentage of people have a prism value added to their glasses prescription.
At this time, ZEISS cannot manufacture ZEISS Optical Inserts based on a prescription containing prism value. If you have a prism value, it is labeled on your prescription and noted separately from sphere, cylinder, axis, and ADD values. If you’re not sure if your prescription includes prism, consult with an eye care provider.
Depending on your prescription, your vision needs might not be met through ZEISS Optical Inserts.
After you place an order for ZEISS Optical Inserts and upload your prescription, you’ll receive a verification whether ZEISS Optical Inserts are available to you within about one business day.
How to use Apple Vision Pro If you wear reader eyeglasses ?
If you only require near correction readers without any distance correction, you can purchase ZEISS Optical Inserts — Readers.
These are designed to support people who use over the counter reading glasses for their vision needs.
ZEISS Optical Inserts — Readers are marked on their box and engraved on their frames with corresponding reading glass lens ranges, so that you can easily match the correct one to your reading glass power. They come in three strengths:
+0.75 to +1.25D +1.50 to +1.75D +2.00 to +2.75D
Choose the ZEISS Optical Inserts — Readers power that matches the reading glasses that you use for reading a book.
If you use readers with a strength above +2.75D, you can try the +2.00 to +2.75D ZEISS Optical Inserts — Readers with Apple Vision Pro, or consult an eye care provider for a comprehensive prescription.
The ranges above are translated to the corresponding actual lens power after you pair your ZEISS Optical Inserts with your Apple Vision Pro. In Settings, they appear as: +0.25D, +0.50D, or +0.75D, depending on the ZEISS Optical Inserts purchased.
A very small number of people who use readers might experience vision discomfort such as eye strain or blurriness in Apple Vision Pro. If you experience this, consult an eye care provider for a comprehensive prescription that works within the supported prescription range for Apple Vision Pro.

How to use Apple Vision Pro If you have a diagnosed vision condition?
Apple Vision Pro uses where a person looks to navigate within visionOS. Some medical conditions, such as those involving eyelid drooping, changes in eye alignment (including strabismus or lazy eye), or uncontrolled eye movements (including nystagmus) might make it difficult for Vision Pro to properly detect your eyes. This might impact the visual experience.
However, you can adapt Apple Vision Pro to suit your needs for navigation using Accessibility features. Instead of using your eyes, you can use your wrist, head, index finger, or voice to navigate.
How to use Apple Vision Pro If you want to try Accessibility features?

To control Apple Vision Pro with your wrist, hand, or head, go to Settings > Accessibility > Interaction, then select Pointer Control and choose the pointer that you want. Try this if you would like to utilize an alternate form of input, other than your eyes.
To zoom in or out on certain items as you use Apple Vision Pro, go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom, and turn on Zoom. Try this if you would like to magnify what you are looking at.
To control Apple Vision Pro with your voice, go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control, and select Set Up Voice Control. Try this if you would like to use Apple Vision Pro with your voice.

Artist Alicia Framis to marry AI hologram AILex, blending art with technology.
The wedding to feature molecular food for humans and humanoids.
Framis designs wedding attire, plans artistic documentary on life with AILex.
Event shows the future of an emerging human-AI relationship dynamics.
In an unprecedented blend of art, technology, and emotion, Spanish artist Alicia Framis is set to challenge conventional norms by marrying a virtual partner—a sophisticated hologram named AILex, designed by her to fulfill her emotional needs.
Bridging Art and Artificial Intelligence
The wedding will take place this year at a museum in Rotterdam.
As per a report by Euronews, Alicia Framis, renowned for her innovative approach to contemporary art, is pioneering this project to delve into the dynamics between humans, artificial intelligence, and the essence of art itself.
It is a product of Framis’s imaginative prowess, crafted from the profiles of her past relationships, designed to be the perfect partner.
In collaboration with the LAM museum, the Dutch food art museum, Framis is also exploring the creation of molecular food, a unique concept designed to cater to both humans and humanoids at their wedding banquet.
A Glimpse into the Future of Relationships
The hologram is her design, tailored to “satisfy all of her emotional needs”.
The forthcoming nuptials, scheduled for this summer atop the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen museum in Rotterdam, are being meticulously planned, with Framis even designing her own wedding dress and the attire for the attendees.
But how is any of this possible, or better yet should you marry an AI hologram?
Well, many had the same questions.
However, Framis is unbothered by the attention.
The wedding to feature molecular food for humans and humanoids
She is envisioning an artistic documentary that encapsulates drawings, interviews, sketches, and intimate, day-to-day interactions with her holographic partner.
Through her Instagram account @hybridcouples, Framis has shared glimpses of their life together, engaging in ordinary tasks like cooking and dining.
She elaborates, “I want to make an artistic documentary that includes drawings, interviews with other women, sketches about bodies, arms, romantic dreams, domestic situations and the daily life of my partner. I want to explore how to integrate the hologram into my daily life,” providing a tangible insight into this unconventional coexistence.
The Human-AI Interface
The Human-AI Interface
Framis believes we are on the cusp of a new era of relationships, affirming, “A new generation of love is emerging, whether we like it or not, in which humans will marry and maintain relationships with holograms, avatars, robots and so on. Just as we practice new languages with Duolingo, we will practice relationships with these entities.”
This bold vision is kind of an essence of her project—a beacon for future explorations into the potential for human-machine relationships, challenging our perceptions of love, companionship, and the role of artificial intelligence in our lives.

The twist?
SIFRA(Super Intelligent Female Robot Automation)
Sifra is not human but an embodiment ofadvanced AI technology, turning Aryan’s love story into an exploration of uncharted emotional territories.
Through the canvas of Bollywood, the film brings to life the very themes Framis is exploring with her own life and work.
The idea that love between humans and AI can be deep, meaningful, and full of warmth is beautifully portrayed, offering a glimpse into what the future of these relationships might look like.
A Concept Being Woven into Cinema
It’s a testament to the growing curiosity and intrigue surrounding the potential for humans to form genuine connections with artificial intelligence, making what once seemed like science fiction a tangible possibility for the future.

Just as we practice new languages with Duolingo, we will practice relationships with these entities ,” she explains.
Framis has dedicated her artistic career to bringing science and art together to cultivate meaningful relationships, offering support to people facing illness, disability, gender imbalance, or traumatic experiences.
This latest performative project is also conceived as a therapeutic tool for those who have suffered trauma or abuse, as well as those facing the loss of a loved one.
According to the statement issued by the artist, AI and human companions can be a beneficial option for people who need company.

As proof of their relationship and coexistence, Framis shares videos and photographs on her Instagram account @hybridcouples in which she appears with her partner AILex sharing everyday tasks such as cooking and dining.
Love and sex with robots and holograms are an inevitable reality. They are great companions and capable of expressing empathy. Just as phones saved us from loneliness and filled the void in our lives, holograms as interactive presences in our homes can take it even further,” says the Barcelona-borncreator based in Amsterdam.
The artist, together with Rabobank Art Collection, is also exploring the possibility of creating the first mortgage to purchase a holographic companion, as well as a house designed specifically for a hologram and a human being.
“It’s interesting how we can get a mortgage to buy a new car, and now we can have a mortgage to buy a new companion,” says Framis.
What is the story of teri Baaton mein aisa Uljha jiya related to the future of AI?
Aryan (Shahid Kapoor) is a dashing robotics engineer in the Mumbai office of a US company run by his aunt (Dimple Kapadia).
Not ready to commit to anyone, Aryan longs for compatibility and adaptability in a relationship.
He makes fun of his friend for being in a marriage where he is being treated like a robot.
His middle-class family in Delhi is so desperate to see him settled that Aaryan even gets dreams of being hitched to an ungainly bot.
When his aunt calls him for a work assignment to New York, little does he know that he is going to be a lab rat for testing her aunt’s most advanced robot Sifra (Kriti Sanon).
He falls for Sifra’s beauty and perfection in the kitchen and household chores, perhaps, because she is programmed according to his needs and says a cute theek hai to everything that he wants.
But the problem begins when the engineer can’t resist her charm even after realising that she is just a piece of software and takes the experiment home.
However, he feels drawn towards her and convinces his maasi to send her to India so that she can go through the ultimate test – surviving a big, crazy Indian family (that’s obsessed with Aryan’s marriage).
Whether he will have his happily ever after with the almost-perfect robot forms the rest of the story.
