John Gruber reviews Apple's Vision Pro broadcast of an MLB game and finds it genuinely compelling—the single-camera dugout perspective and spatial audio create a "you-are-there" feeling that's fundamentally different from traditional TV, though technical limitations with outfield visibility and headset weight remain problems for now.
- The fixed camera angle from each team's dugout (rather than cutting between multiple angles) lets viewers see the full complexity of infield play and baserunning decisions in ways traditional broadcasts can't match.
- Spatial audio of 43,000 fans roaring around you adds emotional impact that flat broadcasts completely miss—the crowd's eruption during key moments actually lands viscerally rather than as background noise.
- Vision Pro's low resolution compared to reality makes it impossible to track fly balls to the outfield, forcing you to infer what happened from fielder reactions, and the headset's weight becomes exhausting during long games.
