The unique video, which was 9 minutes and 11 seconds lengthy, is now solely 9 minutes lengthy, which implies that 11 seconds have been lower off from the video. The firm has lower the Open Sky Environment feature that was touted to “magically replace” the wearer’s ceiling with a “clear, open sky.”
However, dragging the search bar to five:13 reveals the thumbnail preview from the earlier video that confirmed a girl carrying the Vision Pro headset and dealing with the ceiling whereas viewing blue skies and clouds in its place, on the headset. The modified clip now jumps to the scene of an individual pulling the Vision Pro over their eyes in a aircraft.

One potential cause why the feature won’t be working as supposed is because of a whole bunch of various sorts of roofs and ceilings that will make it tough to optimise the immersive feature for all situations.
