If you’re into reality of the augmented, virtual and mixed variety – and particularly if you’re an Apple fan – you may be excited to learn about the Apple Vision Pro.
Apple has just unveiled its highly anticipated mixed-reality headset, which merges the realms of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), being dubbed “the perfect mix”.
Not only can it fill up your space with apps, games, movies, an infinite workspace, spatial audio and cool mindfulness visuals, it’s also got an amazing 3D camera!
The tech giant made the announcement during its WWDC 2023 keynote, marking a significant milestone as Apple’s first foray into a new hardware category since the Apple Watch’s introduction in 2015.
Check it out in the video below, where it looks fancy AF (and comfy, too). Wow:
Spatial computing that can transform your environment
The Apple Vision Pro is a full head-mounted computer, signalling Apple’s venture into the realm of spatial computing. Drawing comparisons to competitors like the Microsoft HoloLens, this headset overlays apps onto the real world and can be controlled through eye movements and hand gestures.
Crafted with an aluminum frame, it features high-quality displays for each eye and outward-facing cameras. Moreover, it takes into account variations in face and head shapes, as well as differences in vision.
With EyeSight, the Apple Vision Pro can project your eyes onto its external display, allowing others to see what you’re engaged in while wearing the headset – which is pretty neat if you ask us!
My mind is still kind of blown from watching the video above, to be honest.
Excitingly, the wait for the Apple Vision Pro won’t be long. Priced at $3499 (which, let’s be honest, is hecka pricey, but what do we expect from Apple?), it’s expected to drop next year – plenty of time to save your pennies!
