SoloTop Dev for the Apple Vision Pro Developer strap is now available! I also now added a new orange color variant, which I must say looks rather striking. etsy.com/listing/1680298384/…

The Apple Vision Pro just got a bit more comfortable without looking like a hack job. My SoloTop adapter is now available on Etsy! I both Print & Ship and 3D Print Files available for sale. etsy.com/listing/1662062088/…

Have finalized the fit, material, and finish of the v1 SoloTop for the Vision Pro, a more native looking Solo Knit top strap adapter. It’s very comfortable! Will be posting store links in the next few days! (Both 3D printable files and printed/shipped from me) #VisionPro

Since my last post I’m now on v4 of the SoloTop top strap adapter for the Vision Pro. Slimmed down the adapter even further, canted the strap clips inward a little, moved the hinge point forward, and lowered the strap as far as I could. I’m getting very close! 🧵

It still bothers me a little that the top strap scrunches up a little and doesn’t lay perfectly flat against my head. Will tilt the strap back a few more degrees.

SoloTop prototype v2. v1 has a couple small issues that others pointed out early; top strap too high & too vertical. v2 rotated by 20° & lowered ~1cm. Still not enough as you can see in the pics, but still more comfortable. 🧵

better scratch resistant. Will also end up being a nice grey. Most of the form submissions have been leaning towards grey anyways, and I think I like that color the most anyways, so it works out. The black one in the pictures is just for prototypes at the moment.

Once I add the next few tweaks I’d definitely consider this a pretty viable & convenient comfort increase. Only having to rotate two small knobs directly next to each other is so smooth. Props to the solo knit strap team.

Inspired by u/grimdar on Reddit, I decided to make a more native looking Solo Band top strap adapter that I'm calling the SoloTop. Currently post processing some engineering-grade resin prints and will be testing shortly. Would anyone be interested in a set? #VisionPro

"How can XR naturally empower our daily lives such that we hardly notice it exists?" The following prototype is my recent attempt at exploring that very question. Interested in a deeper dive? nmcclure.com/empowering-devi… #xr #mr #ar #meta #quest #questpro #apple #metaverse
