I wanted to say much worse in that headline, but my editor said no.
), I’ll sum up: since you’re wearing the headset and its on-board cameras face outward, FaceTime obviously won’t work as it normally does. But your video call partners will still be able to ‘see’ you, thanks to a new feature that leverages AI to create a 3D recreation of your noggin and animates it in real-time.I don’t want to gloss over dreadfully, mundanely dystopian this is.
This isn’t that. Want to actually see your friend during a call? Tough luck, you’re getting this cursed avatar instead. The Vision Pro will require you to scan your face using the exterior 3D cams before you get started, from which it’ll not just build your digital twin, but apparently also mirror your facial mannerisms as best it can based on its on-board sensors.
After all, the headset is designed to work seamlessly with an iPhone or MacBook anyway, and I’ll eat my hat if a single person who buys one of these damn things doesn’t already own a device with a regular front-facing camera. Quite frankly, I don’tto put on a headset just to chat with my mom about how her paddleboarding is going.

I’ll be taking my 10 thousand McNuggets, thanks. FaceTime on the Vision Pro feels like the most distilled example of my main issue with Apple’s ‘groundbreaking’ headset: the fact that at the end of the day, I could do most of the stuff it does better and more easily just using my phone. If you call me and I see your AI face instead of your real one, then I’m sorry, but you’re off my contacts list.
