Cupertino, California based tech giant, Apple, has introduced a cutting-edge spatial computer known as Apple Vision Pro. The device promises a revolutionary new way of blending digital content with the physical world while remaining connected to others and in the moment. Its three-dimensional interface is controlled by natural inputs like the user's eyes, hands, and voice.
The Vision Pro is powered by visionOS, the first spatial operating system in the world. It offers an ultra-high-resolution display system with 23 million pixels across two displays and utilises Apple's custom silicon in a unique dual-chip design.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, has likened this leap in technology to the initial introduction of personal computing with the Mac, and the ushering in of mobile computing with the iPhone.
New Experiences Unlocked by Apple Vision Pro
The new device expands the potential of computing experiences. Users can interact with apps more freely, enjoy immersive entertainment experiences, capture and relive memories with a new depth, and communicate with others on FaceTime in a more present, spatial manner.
Apple Vision Pro provides infinite screen real estate, making multitasking more intuitive than ever. It also supports Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad for seamless productivity.
The device promises a movie theater-like experience with its high-resolution displays and advanced Spatial Audio system. It also supports new types of games and immersive videos that transport users to entirely new environments.
Vision Pro and visionOS: A New Era for Developers
The device's operating system, visionOS, introduces a brand-new three-dimensional interface that enables developers to reimagine existing apps and design new experiences for spatial computing. The platform is built upon the legacy of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.
Apple Vision Pro: Breakthrough Design and Unrivaled Hardware Innovation
Apple Vision Pro is a feat of design and engineering. It combines advanced materials and a compact, wearable design. The device houses an astonishing amount of technology in its sleek form, including Apple silicon in a dual-chip design and a display system featuring micro-OLED technology.
Apple Vision Pro Prioritises Privacy and Security
Apple ensures that privacy and security are paramount. A new secure authentication system, Optic ID, is included. It uses iris recognition technology and stores data in the Secure Enclave of the device. This ensures that sensitive information never leaves the device and is not accessible to third-party apps.
Pricing and Availability
Apple Vision Pro will be available from early next year, priced starting at $3,499 (U.S.). It can be purchased on apple.com and at U.S. Apple Store locations, with a rollout in other countries planned for later in the year.
