A few months after launch, how is Apple's Vision Pro faring? of the company Ambitious bet Computers that nestle on your face instead of sitting on your desk made a big splash when it was announced and later released. However, the hype has since seemingly come back down to earth.

I'm a long-term bull on augmented reality, virtual reality, and facial computers in general. I still remember my first session with what became the Microsoft HoloLens project as one of the most impactful moments for my enthusiasm for the technology. So it's partly to my chagrin that the hype surrounding the Apple Vision Pro has died down a lot faster than I expected.

Of course, with its Pro moniker, hefty price tag, and so far patchy developer support, Apple's new device has a long way to go.. But I expected the Apple brand to keep the hardware in the news—and at the top of our collective minds—longer than it managed to manage after its launch.

For now, we remain largely in the dark regarding the popularity of the device. Certainly, some people have their return and TechCrunch's own review was moderate to positive. But that doesn't mean most people got their Apple Vision Pro back, or that some users are enjoying the gadget more than we are, he thinks.

Here's hoping Apple and Meta don't give up with their Quest line of VR headsets until they crack this particular nut. I find it primitive that my monitors resemble digital chalkboards when they should be built into my glasses. Press play, let's have some fun.
