Apple Vision Pro is an upcoming mixed reality headset developed by Apple Inc. It was announced on June 5, 2023, at its 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference and is set to be available for purchase in early 2024 in the United States. It is Apple's first major product since the Apple Watch, released in 2015.
Apple has described the Vision Pro as a "spatial computer," where digital media is integrated with the real world and physical inputs, such as motion gestures, eye tracking, and voice input, can be used to interact with the system. The headset is a standalone device that runs visionOS, a derivative of iOS designed for extended reality software.
The mixed-reality headset combines AR and VR experience in one very expensive headset.
Apple says we'll be able to test-drive the Vision Pro in Apple Stores next year.
I just check out a few pointers that got my attention:
- It'll cost $3,499 when it goes on sale in 2024
- You control it with your eyes, hands and voice
- It displays your eyes to people around you
- Apple's first 3D camera
- The Vision Pro could replace your TV
- Its Digital Crown lets you turn reality on and off
I love the tech developments but this has gone to another level.
