Apple has finally unveiled its highly anticipated mixed reality headset, which is named Apple Vision Pro. This is a device that marks Apple’s entry into the spatial computing arena. This device is designed to merge the digital and physical worlds, providing a unique interactive experience for users. The Vision Pro is controlled by intuitive inputs such as the user’s eyes, hands, and voice and is powered by the world’s first spatial operating system, visionOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, has likened the introduction of the Vision Pro to the launch of the Mac and iPhone, suggesting that this device could herald a new era in computing. The device is described as a standalone spatial computer that is compact yet packed with advanced technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Apple’s press release<\/a>, one of the key features of the Vision Pro is its ability to provide an infinite workspace for apps. This allows users to multitask in new ways and access their favorite apps in a three-dimensional interface. The device also promises to transform entertainment experiences, with its ultra-high-resolution displays and advanced Spatial Audio system creating a personal movie theater experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Vision Pro also introduces new ways of capturing and reliving memories with Apple\u2019s first three-dimensional camera. Additionally, it enhances FaceTime calls by taking advantage of the room around the user and reflecting users as a digital representation of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operating system of the Vision Pro, visionOS, is designed to support the low-latency requirements of spatial computing. It features a three-dimensional interface that makes digital content look and feel present in a user\u2019s physical world. The device introduces a new input system controlled by a person\u2019s eyes, hands, and voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of design, the Vision Pro is a compact wearable device with impressive technology. It features a high-resolution display system built on top of an Apple silicon chip, uses micro-OLED technology to pack 23 million pixels into two displays, and includes an advanced Spatial Audio system and a high-performance eye-tracking system.<\/p>\n\n\n

Privacy and security are also key features of the Apple Vision Pro. It introduces Optic ID, a new secure authentication system that analyzes a user\u2019s iris under various invisible LED light exposures. Eye tracking information is not shared with Apple, third-party apps, or websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Vision Pro is priced at $3,499 and will be available early next year on apple.com<\/a> and at Apple Store locations in the U.S., with Apple promising to launch the product in more countries coming later in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
