Information for the Apple Vision Pro

Apple has made a revolutionary step in the world of augmented reality (AR) with the launch of the Vision Pro. This spatial computer seamlessly combines digital images with the physical world, providing users with a unique and refined experience.

The Vision Pro ensures you are not completely cut off from the outside world, unlike other AR/VR headsets. The device acts as a spatial computer you place on your head, where digital images seamlessly integrate with your surroundings.

The modular system of the Vision Pro offers a customised fit for the user. The 'Light Seal' perfectly conforms to the face, while flexible straps ensure optimal comfort. The headset can even be customised with accessories such as trackpads, mice, and keyboards.

The Vision Pro includes built-in speakers that keep the sound close to the user's ears, maintaining contact with the environment. The spatial audio adds to an immersive experience.

Equipped with the M2-chip for standard tasks and the R1-chip for data processing from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, the Vision Pro delivers impressive performance. The R1-chip ensures real-time display and an unprecedentedly fast refresh rate.

Thanks to EyeSight, you remain connected with the outside world. It shows your eyes on the screen, and when someone approaches, that person appears in the display. EyeSight also indicates when you are using apps or fully immersed in an experience.

For authentication, the Vision Pro uses Optic ID, an iris scan that provides a secure alternative to face ID and touch ID. It can be used for purchases in the App Store, password entry, and Apple Pay-betalingen.

The Vision Pro uses external power to keep the device light and comfortable. With a choice between an USB-C charger or an external battery, it offers flexibility in use.

Although the Vision Pro cannot be used with glasses, Apple, in partnership with Zeiss, has developed magnetic lenses that can be attached inside the headset, allowing spectacle wearers to enjoy a clear view.

The Vision Pro is priced at $3499, comparable to the most expensive MacBook Pro. In the UK, it is expected that the price will be approximately £3299.

With the Apple Vision Pro, the technology company enters a new dimension of spatial computing, providing users with an impressive and immersive experience that blurs the lines between digital and physical.
