The Vision Pro was a leap in technology in the same way the car was an advancement on the horse, said Casey Neistat, a YouTuber with roughly 12.6 million subscribers who tests technology products regularly in his videos.

“It’s an imperfect product, but to me, at age 42, this is without a doubt the most profound piece of technology I have ever experienced, and that was not my expectation,” Neistat said.

Isaac Mosna, a content creator who goes by Canoopsy, said that when he wore the Vision Pro around Toronto, where he lives, he got a few looks on public transit. But most people weren’t bothered by the headset. 

“Nobody really cared,” Mosna said. “You know, big cities have a lot of other things to worry about besides somebody wearing some goofy-looking goggles.”

He posted a video to YouTube, where he has 240,000 subscribers, in which he said he wore the Vision Pro for 24 hours.  

Like Neistat, Mosna believes the Vision Pro is imperfect, citing its bulky hardware. But he said that the software feels futuristic and that it is most likely a sign of where Apple is headed.

“Overall, I’d say I think it’s like one of the most exciting pieces of technology I’ve ever used in my life,” he said. “And it’s really hard to explain the nuances of it, because it’s very much a product that is all about, like, experiencing it for the first time and trying it out.”

Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

In recent days, the conversation surrounding the Vision Pro appears to have reached an inflection point as more users started posting their takes on it, accompanied by video.

One video showed a man crossing the street wildly swinging his head around allegedly using apps on the device. In another video, a man alleges he recorded himself getting arrested while driving a Tesla while wearing the device. He later clarified that the video was a skit.

Some shared videos destroyed the pricey headset. Others took it to places laptop users frequent, like coffee shops, and used it there.
