I wasn't prepared for this

I have a unique form of Amblyopia. I have full control of both of my eyes, but I see two separate images all the time. The part of my brain that was supposed to form to see 3D images normally, and build normal depth perception never really formed.

To wit, I have never seen 3D. The eye trick puzzles, 3D glasses in old drive-ins, and modern 3D VR headsets and movies just don't look any different to me than watching a flat tv.

Which is how I see the world, incidentally. The world looks, more or less, like a high frame rate TV - I just get the parallax effect when I move around. Not a big deal, this is all I've ever known.

.... until yesterday.

I did my first demo for the vision pro. It was neat how windows float, and the gestures worked. Fluid movement, high res and frame rate - Shadows from apps on the desk. Really impressive.

Then we got to spatial photos and videos. For the fist time in my life I saw depth. Real depth. True 3D dimensional effect and shape. For the first time in my life, a screen gave me foveated rendered 3D images that were adapting real time to MY eyes. A system actually corrected itself specifically for MY vision - and I wept. We went on to Avatar, and the Dino Encounter. I felt like a newborn who was seeing his first colorful image.

I cried right there in the store, and I felt so silly. I apologized and explained to the staff what I just experienced for the first time. It blew my mind, and changed the way I know the world can look. The best comparison I have is when you see someone turn on a cochlear implant for the first time.

I've never seen the world the way this silly device just showed me it could be, and it was beautiful. So unexplainably rich and real, in a way I've never experienced or dreamed I would get to see.

Of course I left with it. This device they've built.... it's going to change everything for everyone, and for me - it already has.

Just wanted to share my experience, and log one more believer in the capability they're building.
