As expected, Apple has finally taken the wraps off its most anticipated device – the Apple Vision Pro, the mixed reality wearable that will usher in a new era of augmented reality technology to take on the likes of Meta's Quest headset. The new AR/VR headset is powered by VisionOS. The wearable is a spatial computer, as Apple describes it, that combines the digital world and the physical world. Here are the details.
Apple Vision Pro Review – Why Does This Exist?
The Apple Vision Pro looks like ski goggles and has a glass front along with an aluminum frame. There are two 4K micro-OLED screens for each eye and 23 million pixels spread across the two screens. Vision Pro has a digital crown that lets you switch from augmented reality to a fully immersive experience.
The Vision Pro comes with a new Spatial Audio system from Apple. Dual driver sound capsules are positioned on each ear to deliver a personalized spatial sound experience. The device uses sound ray tracing technology to map your surroundings and adjust the sound accordingly.
On the front is a new display system, which calls "EyeSight". It is designed to help you not feel alone when using Vision Pro. EyeSight turns the screen transparent when someone approaches a person wearing Vision Pro, allowing the other person to see their eyes and communicate effectively. When a user is engaged in an immersive experience on the device, EyeSight transforms into a luminous display to inform the people around them.
