Apple is jumping into the AR/VR glasses world with Apple Vision Pro

VisionPro is the official title of Apple's latest AR/VR headset, which was unveiled yesterday as part of the WWDC23 presentation. This is the company's first attempt at mixed-reality eyeglasses.

1. Apple Vision Pro Specs

Body

A spherical aluminum alloy body is produced from a single piece of three-dimensional shaped and laminated glass. From here, the sound bands containing the speakers, to which the headband is linked, stretch. This smart device is slightly bent to fit most faces comfortably. The main color for the whole Apple Pro Vision is a lovely silvery tint, right down to the cord protruding from the left side and the iPhone-sized battery pack at the bottom.

Physical controls

The Apple Vision Pro additionally includes a button and a wheel (Digital Crown) on the top of the device for zooming in and out of the mixed reality. The interface will be controllable through hand gestures and vocal commands.

Outside display

The front-facing screen of the Vision Pro was gently flashing with light, showing that someone was using the headset. If someone gets closer Apple's EyeSight mode duplicates your eyes as natural as possible on an outside screen - a curved OLED display. Users can use EyeSight to check who is nearby and to show others what the user is viewing. However, it may also imply that you are right now preoccupied. There are ten external cameras that look forward, sideways, and down. TrueDepth cameras are used by two of them. Apple Pro Vision also is equipped LiDAR scanner

The built-in audio can be found in speakers on the sides of the Vision Pro's band and is meant to deliver 3D audio (Spatial audio is one of the device's main selling features) as well as multiple microphones that can be used for voice control, phone calls, FaceTime, and so on.

However, there may be additional charges, such as extra batteries, specific Zeiss glasses as a replacement for spectacles, alternative headbands, and so on. Depending on the equipment, I believe more than $5,000 will be required. Prices in euros are unknown because the device will not be accessible in Europe until the beginning of 2024. However, when it arrives in Europe, it is estimated to cost about 4,000 euros. Throughout the year, other marketplaces will be opened.
