Want to see exactly what advanced engineering lies inside a Vision Pro AR/VR headset compared to Meta Vision Quest headsets? Lumafield dropped a fascinating video and a series of CT-scan images Tuesday to show you.
Lumafield pointed out it’s aim is not to present a head-to-head comparison or product review, but to reveal the companies’ “divergent design philosophies” through the headsets’ hardware engineering.
‘Non destructive teardown’ compares Vision Pro to Meta Vision Quest via CT scan
Unlike a traditional tear-down, Lumafield’s scans just show you what’s inside with no deconstruction. Lumafield recently did the same thing to show the inner workings of Apple’s advanced Thunderbolt 4 cable.
For the Vision Pro and Quest scans, Lumafield said it used a Neptune Industrial CT Scanner and Voyager analysis software to displays scan showing the headsets’ inner workings.
Vision Pro ‘puts design first’
“When we look inside the Vision Pro with our CT scans, we can see it’s a product that puts design first,” the video demo noted, indicating details that would make an Apple industrial designer beam with pride.
The presenter went on to say this:
Everything inside the Vision Pro is canted to make the most of the available internal space without detracting from the external contours of the brushed aluminum frame and laminated glass front plate. The main circuit board is built around a flexible PCB ribbon, and electronics are packed in here at different angles.
