Apple recently released what is perhaps the company’s most futuristic product launch since the company showed off the iPhone back in 2007.
The Vision Pro, as Apple calls it, introduces to customers the era of spatial computing, meaning rather than a computer rendering content on a screen, with spatial computing, the output renders as part of the environment.
We’re still in the early days of this technology, but it has the potential to transform how we interact with computers going forward.
So far, reviews of Apple’s Vision Pro have been overwhelmingly positive, and it has been interesting to see how people integrate this new technology into their lives.
A few hours ago, Tesla personality, YouTuber, and FSD tester Whole Mars Catalog highlighted one such exciting use case.
During his latest video, Whole Mars Catalog shows himself using Apple Vision Pro while in his Tesla.
For safety reasons, Whole Mars Catalog was using his Apple Vision Pro while parked and supercharging, which means we still have time to grapple with the legality of using Apple’s new headset while operating machinery.
Apple Vision Pro has a “Pass Through” option where the headset uses cameras all around the product and passes the video to the high-definition screens on the inside to replicate the world at a staggeringly small latency of 12 microseconds.
People have already demonstrated that it’s possible to walk in public, even in crowded cities such as New York, with Apple’s Vision Pro on or ride the subway, play ping pong, and similar activities.
All these instances show that Apple Vision Pro is sufficient enough to do day-to-day tasks while using the headset; however, the virtual reality device has not been tested for more challenging and fast-paced circumstances such as driving a car.
As we’ve already mentioned, Whole Mars Catalog was using his Apple Vision Pro while parked, making his use case perfectly legal.
So, how is the experience of using Apple Vision Pro while supercharging? As you can see in the video posted on X, Whole Mars Catalog, while still in his car’s cabin, is able to project several panels onto the environment around him.
To the left, he has the Tesla App open, which allows him to monitor supercharging speed. In the middle, he has the display of his Macbook Pro projected out into a larger panel in front of him.
He’s using this large panel to edit his latest Tesla FSD test drive video using Final Cut Pro. Finally, he has a large pane open to the right showing his X feed.
As Whole Mars Catalog was doing all these activities in his Tesla, the weather was cloudy, but with just a turn of a dial, he was able to transport himself to Joshua Tree National Park.
This is certainly exciting and shows that, with Apple Vision Pro, the time it takes to supercharge Tesla vehicles can be put to even greater use than going to the restroom or grabbing a bite to eat.
This is only the first instance of people choosing to use their Vision Pro in a Tesla. However, we’ll be sure to keep you posted as more individuals elect to utilize Apple’s latest headset in their Teslas.
