Apple unveiled its first mixed reality (MR) headset, the Apple Vision Pro, on Monday at its Worldwide Developers Conference in California, calling its new interface “spatial computing.” Apple Vision Pro is equipped with Apple’s first 3D camera, which can be used to watch and shoot 3D videos. Vision Pro will focus on games, work and communication. This device will bring the world into “spatial computing”.
Vision Pro only relies on voice, vision, and feel, and does not provide hardware control. In addition to the virtual keyboard, users can also enter text messages into the Apple Vision Pro via a Mac keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard. The new R1 chip will be specially developed for Vision Pro, the first MR head-mounted display device.
The Apple Vision Pro will go on sale in early 2024 for $3,499. It is reported that the ultra-high price may be the biggest barrier to prevent the popularization of Vision Pro. The price of 3,500 US dollars is several times that of mainstream VR products in the market. Meta’s just-announced Quest 3 is priced at just $499, and Sony’s PlayStation VR2 is priced at $550.
The main functions are as follows:
Apple Vision Pro is the first Apple product that allows you to “see but not see”. Spatial audio combined with a large screen provides a strong sense of immersion, leading the industry into the era of spatial computing.
Wearing Apple Vision Pro, the APP can be displayed in front of your eyes, filling the surrounding environment, and even has shadow effects, making the impossible possible. There is a knob on the top of the headset to adjust the field of view at any time.
There is no need to use additional accessories when using Apple Vision Pro. Only eyes and hands are enough. If you want to open the APP, you only need to look at it, and gently pinching your fingers can also replace the operation. When the user is wearing Apple Vision Pro, the eyes of the other person can be seen inside and outside the glasses, and there will be no situation where you are close to you but you don’t notice it.
Apple Vision Pro is very convenient to use, and the Magic Keyboard can bring you a lot of room to play. Just look at the Mac computer and you can continue the unfinished content of the Mac.
Apple Vision Pro can also be used to take panoramic photos, and it feels like you are there when you watch it. As Apple’s first 3D camera product, it can also record the wonderful moments around it and share it with family members.
The Apple Vision Pro is made of lightweight laminated glass with a polished finish, framed with a button for taking pictures, and a knob above it for adjustment. For a comfortable fit, the headset features a comfort fabric with customizable elements.
Apple also cooperates with Zeiss to customize the lens, and the external battery can be used for 2 hours. In order to bring excellent computing performance, Apple Vision Pro uses a 23-megapixel triple lens inside, which can display fine images; the dual-drive sound system can bring excellent spatial audio effects and adapt to the size of the room. Apple Vision Pro has built-in M2 and R1 chips to ensure that the picture can be displayed on the lens in real time; the outside of the glasses is a 3D display that can display the user’s eyes in real time, which looks transparent from the outside. In terms of system, the headset is pre-installed with the new VisionOS.
