9to5mac:

Personas launched in beta when the Vision Pro first debuted, and it was easily one of the most criticized features. Apple’s first attempt at Personas was a technical marvel in some ways, but for many it felt too close to the uncanny valley.

visionOS 26, however, graduated the feature out of beta and was a remarkably lifelike upgrade.

“Uncanny valley” doesn’t quite explain just how bizarre and awkward the first version of Personas were. I didn’t have a single conversation with someone as my Persona that didn’t start with an exclamation or gasp. The difference in visionOS 26 is exponential.

And regarding the Dual Knit band: It has finally made Vision Pro comfortable for me. I tried many different options in the past (two Solo Kit bands with 3D-printed attachment points, Globular Cluster, the Belkin Head Strap), and nothing allowed me to use AVP for more than an hour or so without pain in my cheeks, nose and forehead.

Apple never should have shipped Vision Pro without this Dual Knit band to begin with, but I’m just glad it exists today. I can wear AVP for hours comfortably now.
