That's how a pair of onboarding videos appeared on X this week, courtesy of user @M1Astra. In the videos, you can get a basic idea of how Apple will train new users on using the Vision Pro whenever it gets into people's hands.

It's pretty elementary stuff, but it's at least sort of cool to see what everyone will see when they buy the Visio Pro next year. Or, at least, everyone with $3,499 to spare.
