At the much-anticipated WWDC 2023 event, Apple finally revealed its groundbreaking mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro. Positioned as the world’s first spatial operating system, Vision Pro harnesses the power of visionOS to enable users to seamlessly interact with digital content using their eyes, hands, and voice, eliminating the need for a physical controller.
Cutting-Edge Display System: Immersive Visuals and Unmatched Clarity
One of the standout features of Vision Pro is its ultra-high-resolution dual OLED displays, boasting a staggering 23 million pixels in total. This cutting-edge technology delivers an immersive cinema-like experience, captivating users with its incredible visual fidelity. Powering the headset is the Apple M2 and Apple R1 dual-chip set, providing real-time processing capabilities for seamless performance.
Intuitive Controls: Navigating the Vision Pro with Your Eyes, Hands, and Voice
Designed with user comfort in mind, the Vision Pro features a sleek and stylish enclosure crafted from laminated glass that seamlessly blends into an aluminum alloy frame. The light-sealing face cover and 3D knitted headband ensure a comfortable and customizable fit for extended usage.
Equipped with advanced tracking and scanning capabilities, the Vision Pro incorporates 12 cameras and six microphones. These enable a wide array of functions, including precise tracking and enhanced spatial perception for a truly immersive experience.
Operating on visionOS, a combination of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, the Vision Pro seamlessly integrates the best features from Apple’s existing operating systems. Users can interact with applications through intuitive eye, hand, and voice controls, revolutionizing the way they engage with digital content. The innovative EyeSight feature further enhances the experience, providing a sense of transparency that allows for human connection even while using the headset.
The Vision Pro introduces Apple’s first 3D camera, allowing users to capture, relive, and immerse themselves in their favorite memories. The entire photo library in iCloud can be accessed and view photos and videos at a life-size scale. Panoramas shot on iPhones expand and wrap around the user, providing a sense of physically being present in the captured moment.
During its launch, the Vision Pro will support a wide range of popular iPhone and iPad apps, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, Disney+, and Sky Guide. Furthermore, Apple has announced Unity game engine support for 3D app development, ensuring a diverse and engaging range of experiences for Vision Pro users.
Priced at $3,499, the Vision Pro will be available early next year on Apple’s online store and at physical locations, initially in the U.S., with a broader roll-out planned for later in the year. Customers can experience and customize their Vision Pro fit at Apple Store locations.
