This morning, remembering I\u2019d forgotten to order eclipse glasses, I wondered out loud: Would it be an absolutely awful idea to watch today\u2019s solar eclipse<\/a> on the Apple Vision Pro<\/a>? I\u2019m extremely not<\/em> a camera expert, but I seem to recall that pointing a camera at the sun is bad. However, online answers vary widely, so I put the question to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s <\/em>Emmy-winning senior video producer Becca Farsace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Her answer was that the Vision Pro is expensive; it has a lot of cameras; and it isn\u2019t worth the risk. She added: \u201cWes, you are a free soul! you can do whatever you please, but if I saw this on the internet I would be so mad that someone who spent that much money was out there doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She\u2019s right; I am a free soul! Challenge accepted, Becca. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Okay, okay, maybe a friend gave me a pair of eclipse glasses. Putting them over the Vision Pro\u2019s cameras enabled my vile digital sungazing ambitions (which I had already chickened out of, by the way) without risking my very expensive headset. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n So yes, you can look at the eclipse with the Vision Pro, so long as you don\u2019t mind a big \u201cTracking Failed\u201d error message popping up in the middle of your view, telling you it\u2019s too dark out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
