Can you watch a solar eclipse in the Apple Vision Pro?

This morning, remembering I’d forgotten to order eclipse glasses, I puzzled out loud: Wouldn’t it be a completely terrible thought to look at as we speak’s photo voltaic eclipse on the Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional? I’m extraordinarily not a digicam knowledgeable, however I appear to recall that pointing a digicam on the solar is unhealthy. Nevertheless, on-line solutions range broadly, so I put the query to The Verge’s Emmy-winning senior video producer Becca Farsace.

Her reply was that the Imaginative and prescient Professional is pricey; it has quite a lot of cameras; and it isn’t well worth the threat. She added: “Wes, you’re a free soul! you are able to do no matter you please, but when I noticed this on the web I’d be so mad that somebody who spent that a lot cash was on the market doing this.”

She’s proper; I’m a free soul! Problem accepted, Becca.

Okay, okay, possibly a good friend gave me a pair of eclipse glasses. Placing them over the Imaginative and prescient Professional’s cameras enabled my vile digital sungazing ambitions (which I had already chickened out of, by the way in which) with out risking my very costly headset.

So sure, you possibly can take a look at the eclipse with the Imaginative and prescient Professional, as long as you don’t thoughts a giant “Monitoring Failed” error message popping up in the midst of your view, telling you it’s too darkish out.

Should you would additionally wish to level a digicam on the solar — eclipse or no — Becca has further suggestions within the video beneath.
