Working Out with a Vision Pro — Great or Terrible?

Good evening. I've already answered the question, can you work in a Vision Pro

So today I'm going to find out, can you work out in a Vision Pro? I'm going to start here

on the treadmill and we'll go from there. But first, these aren't workout clothes, so

let me get changed. Now this is more like it. So before we start, you know, it doesn't even count if you don't set your Apple Watch workout

So I'm going to start that here. Indoor run. There we go. Turn this on

And I think I'm going to go for a good old three miles per hour. Three miles per hour is actually

the average human walking speed. So I'm going to start easy and just take it as a light jog

I can really feel the battery pack swinging in my pocket here and I can feel the cable

tapping my back. My pants aren't falling down or anything at least. So I think I'm going to bump it

up to four. Now we're at a casual jog. Now I'm wearing the Solo knit band, which is allegedly

the more uncomfortable one. And I can feel the headset pushing more pressure on my cheekbones

as I jog here, but it's honestly not that bad. I think a lot of the comfort of the Solo knit band

comes down to how high you have it sitting around the back of your head. The first time I put it on

my instinct was to keep it kind of low, but that's not how you do it. You really want it

sitting around like the highest, farthest point around the back of your head. Now, of course

the real draw to wearing your Vision Pro while you're working out is that you can put on a show

right in front of you. Obviously, this is a portable treadmill. It doesn't have a spot

to sit an iPad or a phone or anything, which is why I've typically placed it

directly in front of the TV. But I can bring up my apps here. Let's see how well the eye tracking

works. Open Apple TV here. It's having a hard time tracking my eyes as I bounce a little bit

Join pioneering athletes as I take on awe-inspiring challenges. I know what that's like. You know

you can see as I pinch and move the window around here, it's just shaking around wildly. I don't

know if the video is going to load. I've had kind of a wonky internet connection the last few days

I got to say, this show does not exactly look like awe-inspiring adventure to me. All right

well, maybe we'll try something else. I've killed seven minutes and I haven't even really noticed

or gotten bored yet. Maybe instead I'll put on some music here. Of course

with YouTube copyright restrictions, this is about the only thing we can play

That's enough of that. Something I've noticed is that as I'm gripping the handlebars here

the Vision Pro thinks I'm doing a pinching motion because it's looking down at my hands

sees they're kind of curled, and then I find myself accidentally selecting stuff on the

screen quite a lot. It's really hard to know what you're about to do because

it shows focus by slightly highlighting whatever you're looking at. When it's shaking so much, it's really hard to tell, but I will say that as much as I'm shaking

the window stays surprisingly planted in space. You know, it really looks like it's just

floating there, completely irrespective of all of my jumping and jittering. Been about 15 minutes now. I think I'm going to call it there. My Apple Watch says I burned

182 active calories. So here I am in the kitchen, trying to cool down

poured myself some water in my cup, but then I noticed another problem because the cup

is too big. The Vision Pro goes too far down my face. I can't really drink water out of it, so

I gotta add a straw. So what have we learned today? Well, you actually can wear a Vision Pro while working out

but I don't think you can wear it while working out. I'm going to show you how to do it

So I'm going to show you how to wear a Vision Pro while working out. I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out

I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out. I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out

I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out. I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out

I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out. I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out

I'm going to show you how to wear it while working out. I don't recommend it. It's sweaty

The user interface just isn't designed to be used when you're jumping and working yourself up like that

It's really hard to control. Although it is compelling being able to watch movies on a giant screen in front of you instead of a little iPad

I would rather take the iPad to the gym in all honesty. So if you see somebody with a Vision Pro at the gym, just ignore them

They're just trying to show off. You now know better than to be jealous because you know that they're probably deeply uncomfortable with a bit of a headache

Shocking conclusion, I know. Stay tuned for more Vision Pro videos. I'm D. Griffin Jones with Cult of Mac
