Recently, Tim Cook noted that the Apple Vision Pro is an “early adopter product.” With a price tag of $3,500, prospective buyers may hesitate to invest in such a headset. Nonetheless, Vision Pro is proving to be effective in specialized areas, as evidenced by the “Wicked” director’s revelation that he employed Apple’s headset during the film’s post-production.

Jon M. Chu shared that he adopted Apple Vision Pro while working on “Wicked.” The director indicated that the headset was invaluable for reviewing the film’s post-production on an expansive virtual screen while collaborating with his team from various locations.
“For Wicked, we had a plethora of visual effects from around the globe,” remarks Chu. “I could be at home, experiencing a screen larger than what we had in the screening room, while conversing with people from different continents as I viewed the playback.”
At one stage, Chu described how he could use his fingers to zoom in and “sketch” on the screen to identify elements that might require editing. “It brings a new perspective to how you visualize things,” he elaborates. Thanks to Apple Vision Pro’s spatial computing capabilities, users can operate multiple windows simultaneously and position them within their real-world surroundings.
Apple also released a brief video featuring Jon M. Chu discussing his experience with Vision Pro, which is available for viewing below:
