The Pro 2 changed how I think XR
Been using the Pro 2 for about a week, and it got me thinking about how much wearable tech has changed.
I've tried a few different kinds of futuristic tech over the years. VR headsets, Vision Pro, etc. They're all cool, but the weight, heat and having your face usually make them feel like something I'd only use a couple times a month.
That's what surprised me about the Pro 2. It took some messing with the nose pads and temple angle to get the fit right. I'm nearsighted, so being able to dia in each eye without prescription inserts was very nice. Once I got everything set, I stopped thinking about the glassed and could look around the screen without the edges getting blurry.
Then I made the mistake of putting on The Dark Knight one night. Just gonna watch a little, two and a half hours later, credits rolling lol. That's when the lighter frame really clicked for me. There wasn't much pressure on my nose or ears, and somewhere along the way I kinda forgot I was wearing them and just got into the movie.
A few days later, I've been using it way more than I expected for movies and gaming. Compared to a traditional headset, it's just so much easier to grab and use. It's light on my face, easy to thow in a bag, and doesn't feel like a whole setup every time. It is a really amazing XR device at this price, at least for me.
