As a developer, I wanted to see what the Apple Vision Pro is actually like for day-to-day work—so I tested the stuff I genuinely do: coding in VS Code, designing in Figma, and generally living in the UI for a few different setups. The interface is honestly wild: eye tracking feels super natural, the gesture selection works, and the whole “windows floating around your room” thing is a proper glimpse of the future. I also tried it in different environments (including a cafe), played with the immersive environments dial, and checked how practical it is when you’re trying to focus and get real work done. The big test was using it like a monitor replacement: first with my Mac where it mirrors your desktop in virtual space, and then with a Windows machine using Duet. It’s cool being able to resize and position screens anywhere, and having extra apps (like YouTube) running beside your desktop is genuinely useful for tutorials. But for actual coding and UI work, the focus/clarity is the main issue—text can be hard to keep sharp unless you’re looking directly at it, and after about an hour I ended up with a headache. My takeaway: it’s a technological marvel and an insanely fun tech demo, but it’s not the $6,000 “workhorse” replacement for a proper monitor setup—at least not for how I build websites today.
