How to Give Insanely Great Apple Vision Pro Demo

I distinctly remember when I received my first VR demo – it was 2016 and a friend just got an HTC Vive. That demo was magical and since then I have given VR demos to hundreds of people using many different headsets. Eight years into my VR evangelism, I continue with Apple Vision Pro and here is my script for the perfect demo…

The usual demo I give is always one-on-one with the person and it takes about 30 minutes. This way I can give the person 100% of my attention and we can cover everything important without rushing through the experience. The ideal place is a well-lit room with a couch, and the person is sitting on my left side. I always go into the demo with full battery and headset freshly rebooted by reattaching the cable. When the headset is ready I make sure that my iPhone and headset are connected to the same network and that the Internet works. After this, I initiate the Guest Mode with view mirroring to iPhone (sound stays on headset) and all allowed apps and data. Then I put down the headset and clean lenses, front panel and bottom cameras with the polishing cloth.

The last thing I mention before the headset leaves my hands is that the Light Seal (21W) is magnetically attached and the person should not hold the headset by it. I turn the knob of a Solo Knit Band all the way to loosen it as much as possible and give the headset to the person. People usually slide down the back of the strap way too much, so I always tell them that having it slightly higher is better. With a slight tap on the knob I let them know where they can tighten the fit to their liking. Now, people usually acknowledge how heavy the headset is. I tell them they are right, and that the right-sized Light Seal plays crucial role for comfort. I also mention that for longer sessions I use Dual Loop Band that alleviates front-heavy pressure.
