Are you using the VP enough to still justify the price tag?
What upgrades/changes would a 2. gen need for you to consider getting it?

I love how everyone that’s answering has all these hot takes and doesn’t own one when you specifically asked for answers from owners…
I have one. It’s awesome. The screen mirroring from Macs alone is worth it. The weight isn’t as bad as people claim but it is notable. Future versions will be better just by virtue of being lighter. I don’t use mine every day for productivity but I watch a lot of movies on it (especially 3D content) and it’s way better than watching on those old 3D TVs with the glasses. I use it mostly for recording spatial video for clients and we’re planning on buying more spatial cameras because of the success of that.
Gen 2 upgrades for me? Just keep making the battery life longer and keep making it lighter and slimmer, just like the evolution of iPhones and whatnot. Also, probably just a software update but a few of our team have one and it would be nice to share immersive environments/apps. Everyone is siloed in their own view currently.
How do you watch movies on it? Is there an app to support Plex/Jellyfin/etc servers or can read from DLNA/SMB shares? Can I watch 3D SBS movies on it?
Yes and yes. Currently I use Moon Player and that supports all the major formats - SBS (both full and half), OU (both full and half), 360 and 180 immersive, and fisheye videos too. It supports SMB shares through the Apple Files app, DLNA support, and work-in-progress YouTube support.

just wondering what the applications for this are? industrial stuff?
No, it’s not worth it (yet) Yes, I would buy it again 😆 My favorite part of it is 3d movies. The most useful aspect is using it as a monitor for my 14” MBP. I’m really looking forward to the updates in visionOS 2 for this. What I’d really like to see in Gen2:
Am I misremembering or did they say you could use it in the dark? I thought it was using infrared to light up your hands and track itself.
I don’t have a Vision Pro but what I’d like to see at the very least in a second generation is the design flaws fixed, like the front glass breaking in the same spot.
I don’t own one, but I’ve worn one for an hour or so. Light leaking was a problem for me personally, and the weight was a bit much for extended sessions.
