Hello everyone,
I’m an R&D software engineer researching the Vision Pro for on-site CAD visualization and quality assurance. This requires using the headset outside in the open air in KSA, where ambient daytime temperatures easily hit 45°C (113°F).
Before I try deploying this for field work, I have a few specific questions:
Operating Limits: Will the headset function in 45°C ambient heat, or will it immediately trigger a thermal shutdown?
Throttling: How aggressively does visionOS throttle performance or dim the displays when running demanding spatial apps in this heat?
Battery: Will the external battery stop supplying power or refuse to charge under these conditions?
Workarounds: Are there any known best practices or shading accessories for using the Vision Pro outdoors in extreme climates?
I know the official operating limit is 30°C, so I'm looking for real-world insights from anyone who has pushed these environmental limits.
Thank you!
