The Apple Vision Pro AR/VR headset has been launched.

Apple has entered a new product category with the Apple Vision Pro, a virtual reality and augmented reality headset. The new gadget, which costs $3,500, is not for the majority of individuals. It also won't be ready until early 2024. But when we saw the Vision Pro in person at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, we were fascinated by its potential.

Mixed reality blends augmented and virtual reality, with the Meta Quest Pro providing a low-quality experience. The Vision Pro would be a considerable advancement above the current generation of technology.

The Vision Pro is a virtual reality headgear that wraps around the wearer's head and obscures their vision using goggles. On the top right side, there is a digital crown that allows you to switch between virtual and augmented reality. The external-facing screen of the headset displays a live feed of the wearer's eyes while in augmented reality mode.

To unlock the headgear, Apple's new Optic ID feature scans the wearer's irises. Apple has collaborated with Zeiss to develop small magnetically click-in corrected optical implants that will be offered separately.

The machined aluminum Vision Pro headset has 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones. It connects to a braided battery cable and an external battery pack, and has a battery life of two hours. It detects hand motions, voice instructions, and other Bluetooth devices as well as tracking eye movements.

Apple's Vision Pro headset allows users to spread out their work across big digital panels, watch movies and play games on a virtual screen, and conduct FaceTime discussions with friends. It also supports Apple Immersive Video and can run the same apps as other Apple devices.

It runs visionOS and has its own version of the App Store, with hundreds of thousands of iPhone and iPad apps accessible when it arrives on sale. Disney CEO Bob Iger stated at WWDC that Disney+ will be available for the Vision Pro on launch day. Apple unveiled the headgear to allow developers to create new apps that take advantage of its AR and VR features.

No one knows, however, how pleasant it is to use for lengthy periods of time. People who saw a preview of the gadget praised it as a feat of engineering, but several questioned if an AR/VR headgear is the ideal method to make a FaceTime conversation.
